    Hope Birmingham survive, I follow speedway all over the country and have visited Perry Barr on many occasions always staying over in the nearby hotel. 

    I don't know wot marketing as been done but as the local student population been tapped into at all? 

    I hope the walloping at Leicester hasn't disheartened the promotion & the supporters even more. 

    It angered me when a few weeks back they were allowed a full house 18,000 for the cricket at Edgbaston yet just down the road at Birmingham speedway they cudn't open because of the restrictions 

    Test event or not this demonstrated the madness of the rules around covid. 

    Hope the Brummies survive :t:

    Students are on summer break . The club do have a link with the local university on their radio show and website . On admission students showing their student card can get in for £5 (ages 17-22). For the school children 12-16 it's £2 and under 11's are free . Naturally with covid restrictions the club have not been able to continue visits to schools or to shopping areas, fetes, scouts and guides  etc

    BIRMINGHAM are thrilled to confirm pay on the gate admission will return for Wednesday's cup tie with Redcar at Perry Barr (7.30).

    Approval has been given for supporters to arrive and pay cash or card which means it is not necessary from now on to buy in advance.

    It's the news the club have been waiting for with many of the older fans unable to attend previously due to no internet access.

    Club co-owner Peter Mason said: "This news has come a massive boost to us and we now need to see the supporters turning out in force.

    "The weather forecast remains solid and we are in for a great night of racing on Wednesday.

    "It will also be good to see some younger fans now the school holidays are here and I hope families come along for a great night out."

    Just a note to Scunthorpe fans planning on coming to the Birmingham v Scorpions clash next Wednesday 14th July is that tickets MUST be bought on line before 6pm on day of the meeting from www.trybooking.com , via the link on the Birmingham website  or via this link :   https://www.trybooking.co.uk/BDML 

    There are NO on the night cash entries .

    Just to clarify there are a few tables where it is for Mr "Smith" and party ..... no full names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers , bank details , card details ..... how many Mr "Smith's"  are there etc ????   As the person complaining will never use the system it doesn't affect him and when things return to being able to pay at the gate will he be standing in the queue to anonymously put his cash down and watch his local side???

    Neil, 

    I'm not sure you understand exactly why ukmartin is so outraged. The booking site publishes the names and exact locations of every customer in the inside seating area. It looks like a clear breach of data protection to me. 

    For example let us imagine I am stalking you and knew you would likely buy a ticket in the restaurant. I could buy the ticket for the seat next to you thanks to the helpfully displayed seating plan.

    That said I still bought a ticket, but it is not a good system.

    it does NOT publish the name and exact location of every customer in the inside seating area . A few tables are reserved and the occupants have some family and  friends who join them  and it is NOT full details .  It is NOT a breach of data protection .  Nearly everyone who uses the system says it is a good and easy to use system ....but I suppose not everyone can be happy

    BIRMINGHAM will resume their 2021 season next week.

    The Brummies will return to action with the second leg of their Knockout Cup tie against Redcar at Perry Barr on Wednesday, July 7 (7.30).

    With talks ongoing with Birmingham City Council and Perry Barr Stadium management regarding potential walk-up admissions, supporters are strongly advised and urged to purchase their tickets in advance via https://www.trybooking.com/uk/eventlist/speedway.

    Any supporters who struggle to purchase tickets online are encouraged to ring 07544 294420 with staff members available to help over the telephone.

    Co-owner David Mason said: "We are desperate to get things back up and running at the very first available opportunity and that will be on Wednesday, July 7 with the visit of Redcar.

    "It goes without saying it's still a far from ideal situation but we can assure supporters we are doing everything within our power to try and make sure we can crack on with the season.

    "We said we wanted to be back at the start of July if other outside factors allowed and whilst we wish we had a clear-cut decision regarding walk-up admissions, we need to try and get things going again.

    "We can't stress enough though how we need every single person's support and backing because this really is a testing time for us.

    "We've said before how we need healthier crowds on a regular basis at Perry Barr and we don't want to be the people at the helm who oversee any sort of demise.

    "The Birmingham supporters are fantastic; they're loyal, they're enthusiastic and they get behind their team.

    "We know there are so many more out there though who don't come as often as they used to - and while, of course, we appreciate how hard everything is for people at the moment, now is the time to get everyone back on the terraces.

    "Work has been continuing behind the scenes and as a club we feel we're as ready as we can be at this moment in time.

    "We had Dixie Dean (track curator) down on Sunday and he spent all day working on the track.

    "Everyone knows we encountered a few problems on opening night but it looks and feels a lot different after all the hard work he's put in and from here on in it should only improve week-by-week.

    "We've been keeping the boys in touch with everything that's been going on and as I'm sure you can imagine, they're just itching to get back to it.

    "Yes it's a job for them but they genuinely believe that as a group they can achieve something this year and they are keen to make the rest of this season one to remember for all of the right reasons."

    The only thing that really annoys me about this is the fact they let me buy a ticket for the Poole meeting at 8pm last night..

    Im sure they would have already made their decision and should have closed this facility down.

    I will be asking for a refund.

    refunds have been set up and you should get an email tonight from trybooking .

    Birmingham have successfully appealed allowing walk up entries at Perry Barr with Birmingham City Council as long as masks worn and socially distancing is maintained. Only the zones with remaining capacity will be offered so fans wanting their favourite spot are advised to use the on line ticketing at Trybooking.com

    Just a few questions.

            Programmes can not be bought with the online tickets,and you cannot use cash or card to buy one at the track ,is that correct ?.       (Cash spreads virus?.)

            Says masks have to be worn all through the whole of meetings,can people not have a quick ciggie anymore?.

           Is the train station open, i heard it would be closed for a while?.

           As to the mask wearing,i know Belle Vue is bigger than PB,but more people will mix at Belle Vue,how can their Council say you can watch the matches with no masks?.

              Belle Vue ......monday photo...  Only 2 people wearing masks in photo.

     

     

                                                    

    bvue mon.png

    system for programmes will be announced . 

    as for smoking -- will ask the stadium what the rule will be . 

    I believe the station is closed but will check

    on masks --it is down to each council and their rules plus the stadium owners . Reading the T+C's at other tracks there are some with and some without ,I know Eastbourne have had to add it or they would be closed down.

    I thought this was quite helpful - if you're friendly with Mr Preece but can't stand Mr Jones (no offence, example only) you'd tailor your booking accordingly. The tone of your initial message led me to think that address, card number and CVV details were on view.

    thank you Neil ....  other than the name there are no other details showing !!  How many Mr Jones , Mr Preece are there etc and their information is protected , Only Try Booking and Birmingham Speedway have access to any sensitive data and as holders of an ICO data protection licence are bound by this . If someone doesn't want to book like the person above then they will not get in to watch their speedway .... that is their choice if they actually come to speedway or not .
