Offer will clearly attract more families to buy online -- visiting Glasgow supporters should spread the word among their troops, too. The ultimate aim is for as many spectators as is possible to buy online, ease turnstile congestion each Saturday. The cash turnstiles will still be open, but kids under sixteen will only be admitted free if coming in with an adult who has bought online, otherwise the regular price of £5 for 12/15, or £1 for under 12 will apply. Book in advance (kids or no kids!) at https://www.berwickspeedway.com/tickets There isn’t much turnstile congestion to talk about IMO.The sport is expensive enough without having to pay a booking fee. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People need to plan better then.The Oxford meeting there was a bigger queue waiting to check in with their online ticket or phone app.Swings and roundabouts IMO Edited May 24, 2022 by Fromafar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandit59 1,151 Posted May 24, 2022 Not much difference in the queues the first meeting against Birmingham there was only one turnstile open that was the delay.Been two open since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could Danny possibly help Berwick in the short term as could score at home. 6 hours ago, Fromafar said: There isn’t much turnstile congestion to talk about IMO.The sport is expensive enough without having to pay a booking fee. You would save that with the kids admission. My kids not interested in speedway though. 2 hours ago, Shadders said: First meeting of the season was delayed for 15 minutes due to queues at the turnstiles. I expect a huge following from Glasgow as usual. I was parked a good distance away due to the shows. That would have added time onto people getting in also (people entering later than they had planned). 1 hour ago, Bandit59 said: Not much difference in the queues the first meeting against Birmingham there was only one turnstile open that was the delay.Been two open since.

Noelinho 921 Posted May 24, 2022 You can pay for your chips with a card, so why can’t you buy a ticket with your card/phone at the turnstiles? I don’t get that. There’s nowhere else I go where I need cash. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does seem strange given the emphasis on not wanting fans to not to use cash.Given the average crowd at League Speedway waiting to enter the Stadium is not a real problem.They certainly have to cater for all fans.It’s discrimination only letting online tickets allowing children in free.IMO. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two of them coming back from injury lay offs and another off form. Could be a painful evening for the Bandits. Would’ve been tough enough with a full 1-7 Totally agree, hopefully we don't have any bad luck on Friday night.Will take a herculean effort from the Bandits to win on Saturday night.

They were looking to pay by card so I assume you can pay by card where the pre booked tickets and season tickets enter. Unfortunately you assume wrong and to avoid any confusion: Payment is by cash or online ticket only. Providing reliable and secure wi-fi to the outlying areas of the stadium is an on-going challenge. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Providing reliable and secure wi-fi to the outlying areas of the stadium is an on-going challenge. There was a TV aerial cable and a cat 5E (possibly 6) network cable run from the sponsors box to the old video gantry (I run them in for Bob Tasker so the hospitality box could watch replays of the races). They were still there when I was down after the storms to repair the speakers but have since disappeared from the turnstile side (cut out?). Maybe they are still on the Tea Bar roof? It's a possibility that they could be reconnected if they are still on the roof and the other end is at the hospitality entrance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
