bluebee 199 Posted June 8, 2022 Well, I can't allow my new team to be ignored on here. I think they have a match against some northern lot today. I'll stick my neck out and go for an away win! Weather seems very variable here in the Cotswolds. I'm leaving getting a ticket until late afternoon as I doubt this will be a full house and want to avoid a last minute rain off. As it will be my first visit (been abroad, honest) can anyone tell me whether its best to get a terrace ticket or an inside stadium. And also how long to get from the car park so I can plan my journey to arrive at the last minute. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once in you can sit or stand wherever you want Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cliffeboy 577 Posted June 8, 2022 Should be an easy win for the Cheetahs. Scotty should be untroubled and Troy will be disappointed not to get double figures. Another chance for Heeps to show some form. 50-40 for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rosie76 15 Posted June 8, 2022 Reference the Unipart Car Park, it is about 10 minute walk from the stadium or you can get on the free coach from the car park. Enjoy your first visit of the new era. Having lost at home to Birmingham, I will avoid making any predicitions but would be hopeful of a win.Any more home losses will probably end what looks like slim chances of making play offs.

bluebee 199 Posted June 8, 2022 Thanks Rosie. About to book my tickets so hope the earlier downpour was a one off. Should be a home win of course but I hope Newcastle make a fight of it. It's not my idea of a night out watching a hammering. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

auntie doris 2,339 Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) That's why I'm dubious about booking tickets in advance. I saw somewhere you can pay by card on gate? Due to visit on 22 June v Glasgow, bruv from Australia will be coming along. After the initial 2000 capacity crowd looks like plenty of room now on terraces. Can't see why they're not allowing pay at gate as not everyone has smartphone or wants to pay online. Edited June 9, 2022 by auntie doris Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see why they're not allowing pay at gate as not everyone has smartphone or wants to pay online. But if you paid on the gate surely you're in the same boat. Meeting postponed and you have a tiny paper ticket to keep hold of for entry/reduced price to another meeting. With the App it's the same situation but if you get refunded no doubt a lot easier for all concerned. To be fair this is the first Speedway meeting where I've had an online ticket which has been abandoned. So I don't know if it's an automatic refund Money off next match you purchase Free or reduced price entry to the rerun of the fixture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedwayTShirts 307 Posted June 9, 2022 I heard someone saying on the way out people would be automatically refunded. I've not had an email as yet or anything to confirm this though, anyone else? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Triple.H. 1,985 Posted June 9, 2022 Tickets are automatically transferred to the next match vs Glasgow on 22nd June and there's a link in the email to follow to arrange a refund if you cannot attend that day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know its a sliding scale based on number of races held, but the trigger points and cost are a mystery Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So 2 heats ridden, 8 not ridden = £8. The 100% refund policy at Oxford means we are effectively getting £3 per heat not ridden between heats 5 & 10.
