Baldyman 6,243 Posted May 6, 2021 I get the price increase,,, everything always goes up,,, but I haven't had a wage increase in 3 years now,, so eventually something will have to give as disposable income gets less and less. I'm sure I'm not the only one. This time the increase hasn't pushed me over the edge,, but next time it might. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scoobydoo 2,254 Posted May 6, 2021 The admission rise must grate with some of those who contributed towards the near 4k that ended up being donated to the riders ,theres obviously some who will be happy to have some speedway but not all will see it that way and maybe wish they hadn't been quite so generous. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What on earth has happened to common sense!! 21st June all restrictions are hopefully being removed so I won't be going to Ipswich before then. I'm with you 100% on that one...

hammer1969 421 Posted May 6, 2021 I feel a bit sorry for the Ipswich promotion 're Masks as they probably have to follow Council rules or they can't run the meeting yet at Eastbourne Masks only have to be worn inside ie toilets and turnstiles. At Eastbourne entry is by pre bought ticket online only yet at Ipswich you can turn up and if they've not reached capacity you can pay at the turnstile with cash and surely money changing hands carries more germ risks than standing outside without a mask.

Triple.H. 1,986 Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) 6 hours ago, hammer1969 said: The following is taken from the official government website 're face coverings, one of the exemptions 're age might apply to a few speedway supporters !! Exemption cards If you have an age, health or disability reason for not wearing a face covering: you do not routinely need to show any written evidence of this you do not need show an exemption card This means that you do not need to seek advice or request a letter from a medical professional about your reason for not wearing a face covering. However, some people may feel more comfortable showing something that says they do not have to wear a face covering. This could be in the form of an exemption card, badge or even a home-made sign. Carrying an exemption card or badge is a personal choice and is not required by law.. A prime example of the Comedy Gold the Government keep on giving Everyone should wear a mask except those who don't want too, and they wonder why its lockdown after lockdown. I don't like wearing masks as they do affect my breathing due to asthma and old age, but it should be everybody wears a mask in any enclosed public area, only exemptions are by a Dr and put onto you NHS track and trace app, if you don't have a smartphone you get a photo ID card saying your exempt which can be checked by shop staff etc No Mask or medical exemption from a Dr then you're not coming in Edited May 6, 2021 by Triple.H. operator error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted May 6, 2021 Maybe the club have miscommunicated the wearing of masks As for the £19.... may of just as well made it £20 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Charlieboy 412 Posted May 6, 2021 Are away fans allowed tickets for speedway meetings ? As Sheffield fans 4 of us want to attend the Ipswich v Sheffield meeting. We have all had the covid vaccination and will travel together not wearing masks in the confined space of a car for around a 4 hour journey. Then when at the stadium we are asked to wear a mask for a couple of hours social distancing in an open air stadium?? Then return home with another 4 hours in the car. I find this quite confusing. Are all premier league track following the same guidelines or is this just Ipswich rules? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) I think this is one of best rules to have been launched. All Ippo fans to wear masks. Should have happened years back. . Hopefully full Face ones. Edited May 6, 2021 by semion 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pob 545 Posted May 7, 2021 Boo bloody hoo , so we've got to wear a face mask for probably the 1st few months of the season until restrictions are eased . Well why don't we ask the Swindon fans if they'd be prepared to wear a mask in the stadium if it meant they could see their team on track this season ? We've been following guidelines and restrictions for the best part of 14 months now what's another few months if it allows the sport of speedway to start this season. Look at the bigger picture people , before it's too late . 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
