BRUMMIES CALL FOR PATIENCE

BIRMINGHAM co-owner David Mason is urging riders and fans alike to stay patient as the club plans a return to track action.

Mason has held talks with the stadium owners who in turn have had talks with Birmingham City Council over the implications of the government guidelines regarding Covid restrictions which prevent fans paying on the gate, either card or cash.

Said Mason: “We, the Brummies, have a loyal fan base, but there is a large section who are in their 70s and 80s who don’t have computers or smart phones.

“We need everyone to stick with us, there have been some small steps of progress with the Council but they are not in a position to allow us to take payments for entrance at the gate until government restrictions are lifted, although you can buy a hot dog or a drink with cash inside the stadium.

“I would like to thank everyone for their patience and I understand this is tough on riders because they are not earning when they are not riding.”
