Speedway4ever 117 Posted April 12, 2020 (edited) If all clubs offered a free or reduce admission to NHS staff (On proof of I.D) after COVID-19 is done then it would be a great gesture, but the sport could also benefit from them spending money in the ground and hopefully bring in new fans if current NHS Speedway fans spread the word to promote the sport too and come and enjoy a night's racing.

Read that Poole and Eastbourne have already announced some free NHS deals. Hope more will follow. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mimmo 1,070 Posted April 14, 2020 I'd like to see every multi millionaire/billionaire in this country, treat every one of the NHS key workers to a free holiday in the sun, once this is all over. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would hope that the oft quoted wonderful BSF community, if they saw a NHS newcomer at a match, would actually buy them a drink / meal as a personal thank you and not rely on them buying their own; whoever gets the profits.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted April 15, 2020 Gave the chap on Tesco checkout a fiver yesterday to have a pint on me. You'd have thought I'd offered to pay he's mortgage he was so grateful. Made me think I don't reckon many had made the gesture. Then again I don't know where he's going to buy the pint 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great idea, extend it to other care workers as well, but would welcome reduced admission if my team can afford it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
