Tosh1218 593 Posted December 6, 2023 On the subject of Berwick fixtures last season I rang them up and asked if I would be able to get into the home match v Scunthorpe as I’m a scunny fan and asked if I would be able to pay the standard price for a championship fixture of approx £20 as I would be travel home after Heat 15 of this fixture as this was a double header with a Bullits fixture in the lower NDL league to follow . They put me through to someone and he stated as this was a double fixture the top price was the only price available as the Bullits were racing against Kent in the lower league . I refused to travel as time and diesel from Hull it wasnt worth the expense . Subsequently the 2nd meeting was cut short to 11 heats and and Berwick missed out on an adults match fee. . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How would they enforce the single meeting only tickets though? Just announce after heat 15 of the first meeting 'Right anyone who didn't pay for the second meeting get out' and everyone is honest Or perhaps even arrange the fixture lists to avoid this happening in the first place!! Hmmm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm Your second point about not arranging it that way is spot on If it needs a double header the easiest way (and it’s still a bit of a pain) is charge people the full price on entry then offer a partial refund as they leave before the second match. Edinburgh did that for a double header last year. The main downside was seeing a queue prob 200 deep that weren’t staying for the second match which was pretty disheartening really. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bloom89 496 Posted December 7, 2023 Kerr, Hume, Etheridge, Knudsen, Schlein, Hook, Hodder… just a guess but would people take that team? Fairly sure it fits. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah is he I didn’t know that, he’s finished with the under 21’s now hasn’t he? He looked really good when he first came over but disappointed a bit last season.

Stuntdouble 118 Posted December 7, 2023 Happy with Hume. He certainly winds it on around sheilfield. Could well be a fan favourite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
