You don't have to park in Poole stadium car park either you can park in a side road. I always use the industrial estate. Easier to get away after the meeting.. I don't think a pound is bad. Maybe make it free for disabled and blue badge holders, so they don't have to walk far. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something has to give? adrian smith is quite happy with the 5year plan this season will be the 3rd !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't have to park in Poole stadium car park either you can park in a side road. Unfortunately I do have to park there as I'm not able to walk very far these days, hence I get there quite early in order to guarantee a space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,662 Posted February 22, 2019 I don't really like the charge for car parking but i'm not totally against it.I'm with Bagpuss and expected it a few years ago anyway.People won't like the charge,who does like paying extra.But it would bring us in line with many clubs who have been charging years,and more than £1.You go to many sporting events and they will charge you for parking and you could put an extra digit in front of that £1 too. On a side note it's cost me £16 this last couple of weeks in charges for 4 appointments at the QE hospital.Now that gets my goat charging poorly people to park.

Sorry but you can not be happy with the way BV is being run and promoted. The NSS is without doubt the best speedway facility in the UK and they have done precisely nothing with it exept lose half the crowd and, by all accounts, a shed load of money. Great business plan that is, in 5 years they will have lost well over a £1m...the incompetent Mr Smith may be happy with the plan...because it’s not his money?

Yes that is a shame. i realise some less able will have to park in the car park maybe for those people like you they should get free parking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
