if the price had have been £20 then I most probably would have gone, but £25 is too much IMO.

 

maybe the bspa should have sold tickets online at a reduced rate, we've still got a good product, lets promote it and get 'bums on seats'

Someone needs to tell them that a lot of fans won't pay £25 plus £4 for a programme,it's far too expensive.

And also the fact that this meeting is supposed to be based on the previous year's achievements, for instance, how can Swindon's 2015 signing even be considered for a place in this originally? Seen better farces on the stage, just!

 

The format and the naming of the meeting is a marketing faux paux. Time to give some thought to promoting rather than window dressing. Look at the new promotion at Glasgow for instance... never out of the news and will no doubt sweep Edinburgh along on the tide.

I thought on balance that it had been agreed by most fans that the ELRC was better run at the start of the season when riders and fans alike are raring for some action instead of at the end, after countless GPS and league matches and when all the playoffs are happening in possible poor weather??

Don't raise your hopes up too much as there is still plenty of time for the 24 hour Flu virus to strike.

This man flu often strikes on the morning of the meeting

My wishlist for the ELRC and all similar events:-

 

1. The BSPA try and get a sponsor to cover all the events.

2. Bring the prices down and basically get as many people through the gates as possible, you want capacity crowds.

3. TV coverage for all the events, even if a league fixture has to be sacrificed in return.

4. Promoters, riders, officials create an environment where these events are seen as the pinnacle of the domestic season. All riders should want to ride in them, all fans should want to go to them.

5. Once on TV, give the sponsors the maximum amount of exposure possible.In front of a TV audience and a big crowds. Give sponsors their moneys worth and then some. then they will come back, with bigger deals.

6. Pull out all the stops to make sure the event goes ahead, if this means increasing the stadium workforce for the day, getting more workers for the track etc. so be it. Never have a repeat of the 2014 ELRC meeting.

Hopefully this would get the sport back to a situation whereby clubs actually benefit from these "shared events" and the profile of the sport is raised again. It's a sorry sign that at the moment, these events seem to be seen by some as a nuisance or a distraction.

I'm not going. £25 is a rip off.

Never got this school of thinking ...it's £25 to enter and you a choice if you want to go or not ...There no trick or deceit here and that is what a rip off is .

is speedway the new Tesco/morrisons ? you can only rip people off so many times and then you start paying the price for an overpriced product. only ever been to one blrc (e lite) league championship. that was at belle vue a long time ago. but at least you saw really top riders and no fill in guys who wouldn't normally get a look in any where. and there were enough teams in it to have 1 rider representing their team, not 2. TOTAL RIP OFF .
