I still regularly attend and don't think there has been much improvement. One of the plus points was getting rid of the Double point replacement, which was only brought in to make meetings closer, but they even got that wrong.

Haza 1,765 Posted May 28, 2018 Different sport obviously but Sunday Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club had a family fun day Notts v Warwickshire one day game all tickets £1 over 14,000 turned up many children with mum and Dad and just maybe some will return and become fans it’s the next generation speedway needs to get hooked . But what a great idea ? To get people along to watch cricket my guess what they lost on full price admission they will gain in the long run . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted May 28, 2018 Exactly. Rye v Lynn tonight, live on TV, no iversen & full price admission. Interesting to see how many turn up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,757 Posted May 28, 2018 Whoever is or isn't riding for a live tv match, charging full admission is obtuse thinking IMO. There has to be some kind of offer to encourage people to go rather than sit at home and watch it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hamish McRaker 601 Posted May 29, 2018 The fixed race nights plan is misfiring because certain parties dug their heels in and wouldn't shift, and one or two others looked the other way and effectively colluded with them. The solution to this impasse is not quite the one big league which is advocated by many, but two parallel conferences. One conference based mainly on Wednesdays, and one based mainly on Thursdays (note the word "mainly"). Riders would be free to take part in both conferences, if they wished but their primary club would need to be established in the event of any conflict. A playoff between the two conference winners would decide the overall champions. This arrangement would also spare the fragrant denizens of Dorset from the unpleasant experience of coming into contact with the unwashed, uncultured people of Teesside - unless they had to meet in the grand finale of course.
