bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted August 21, 2012 Aye, there are plenty who I have asked who give the same reply, and don't come along. The ones that do come think it's mental, and really enjoy it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
screm 8,050 Posted August 21, 2012 Aye, there are plenty who I have asked who give the same reply, and don't come along. The ones that do come think it's mental, and really enjoy it. Its amazing though just how many people you hear that used to years ago and now dont,my dad used to go,infact I started going to Shielfield with him,now he just doesnt want to go,he does have an interest and will sometimes watch the Sky meeting but as many times as Ive asked he wont go anymore. I hope as many Berwick fans go as often as possible,I dont want to get melodramactic but we see all to often what happens when clubs dont attract enough fans.

Tsunami 10,219 Posted August 21, 2012 Off thread but Id like to congratulate Dennis McCleary on his award of being official time keeper at this weekend GP at Cardiif,no celebrations for him though,its Berwick Rangers v Rangers on sunday and theres no way Dennis would miss that one. Also Newcastle's Start Marshall Phil Day will be duty at Cardiff, along with Clerk of the Course Graham Smith assisting in the pits, and Colin Hunter of Redcar who is the machine examiner. Good day and representation for the Northern clubs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fromafar 10,338 Posted August 21, 2012 Honestly. I can't believe no-one agrees with my idea, it's probably the best suggestion on here. The true fans pay more, the greetin' mumpin-moaners get in for nowt. The only condition would be that they would not be allowed to moan. Actually, you are all right. That would never work. Arson Fire, you're right. It is all everyone needs to do. I'm enthusiastic about the sport, and that get my mates interested. So they decide to come along and see what all the fuss is about. I've got two family repeat visitors, my old man has started coming back for every meeting when he is not working, and hopefully another family coming along tomorrow night. They all really enjoyed the night and though it was decent value for money. They mostly thought it was a bit mental too. Honestly.

Bandit59 1,151 Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Not sure how you`d work that at the turstile,anyway if you want to pay more then pay more and that goes for anyone,Im sure any extra would be gratefully recieved. To be fair to the promotion,and as Fromafar says,this promotion have never been slow to try things like this.I think on this occasion it might be to try an attract a decent crowd for a wednesday where a normal wednesday night meeting is a finantial disaster.Might have been an idea to try it against one of our local teams so it might encourage a few more visiting fans,if this is a success we could yet have that as we are still to race some local teams. Its good to see other promotions doing something to try and attract new or returning fans. Just on the meeting itself is there any news if Ryan Fisher is riding,not sure if he`s made his return from injury. Just been on Plymouth website it says their top 5 are riding[should be exciting with Fish]doubts about their reserves any news on weather Edited August 21, 2012 by Bandit59 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigeddiechek 1,094 Posted August 21, 2012 I said nothing about purchasing the club, I'm not made of money either: but, I would pay up £20 (including programme) on Saturdays. P.S. Not seen any pheasants, do you mean the seagulls? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
