What on earth Laurence Rogers is doing commenting on what Speedway fans are saying is totally beyond me, I'm afraid in his position he should just be sucking it up. I hope you have Speedway to watch at PB for many years to come I totally get where you're coming from! Thank you for your positive thoughts re: speedway at PB! I have been shot down many a time....sometimes fairly and sometimes not, but that's just my opinion and hey that's what forums are for...right? First meeting of the season I mentioned the weather forecast? (negative) I was told by (not mention names) that I was being negative and it could affect attendance? (didnt know that I was on the clubs PR team) LOL The meeting was called off ! Say no more... I said that I wouldn't mention the weather again.....I will keep to my word! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This looks particularly bad now that Scunthorpe, Edinburgh and Oxford have all had early abandonments but given 100% refunds unlike Birmingham. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The said '3' clubs are obviously in a more financial advantageous position than B'ham ..... I do think that any Berwick fan should've got a FULL refund.... Afterall, if we can give half price admission to Cov/Cradley/Wolves and any away fan with a season ticket, then it would've made sense to reimburse Berwick fans. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to feel sorry for Newcastle fans (yes there were some at Oxford) - 4 heats on Wednesday, 2 more at Edinburgh on Friday, and best not to talk about Sunday.
