Elite Riders Championship - 25/09/2014

[spanner47 336]

The national people who govern these events don't seem to understand the costs to the fans . They must think money grows on trees. £25.00 admission, for a substandard field, on a weeknight, do they really expect fans to turnout in their thousands, hundreds

 

This was once the Mecca individual event of the year. Only the top rider from each club was able to compete, some clubs couldn't achieve that. There were more Clubs than places.

Always held at Hyde Road, Belle Vue and the place was packed, Tickets with affordable for everyone, and the atmosphere was unbelievable. To win the BLRC was second only to the World Championship. How times have changed......

 

With so many top Elite rider missing, surely the admission could have reflected the current state of the game and tried to attract new fans instead of ripping, what few there are, off at every opportunity.

Cant argue with that. Don't know if the racing has been bad all season at Lynn, or it was just those on the telly. But from what I've seen, if any Speedway fan is heading for East Anglia this Thursday, they'd be better off coming to Foxhall.

Who makes the £££ out of this meeting? It is the SCB or is it Lynn?

sadly the cost can't be dropped for this the re staging as some fans has already paid there £25 back in March and will be able to use there tickets on Thursday night I agree with all you say though - will be interesting to see how many fans turn up Thursday night

In my view this meeting should be staged a week on Saturday as No GP or Euro meeting would have got better support from fans. In fact any Sat or Sun between now and season end as cannot see many fans going to this on Thursday

It's a BSPA shared event so any profit is shared out amongst the clubs, Lynn would/should get their staging costs as well.

Tai on his way to sweden so no elrc for him but no news on who replaces him

[Silver Cheetah Snr 113]

Can anyone tell me why Jason Doyle has been named in the line-up as surely the terms of his visa prohibit this.

He's representing his club, not guesting for another

I wonder when the revised line up will be put onto the BSPA and KL sites? Some riders are riding the playoffs in Sweden tonight aren't they?

So now Lambert replaces Bjerre in the line up!!!

 

Total farce.

 

And how much are they charging? 25 quid?

Won't be many there.
