It must be the only sport where the concerns of the paying customer are so disregarded and whose feedback is of no interest. Very, very True... I have been involved in running and marketing businesses for over 30 years and in all that time (in fact ad infintum since commerce began), pretty much nothing has changed in how you make a success of what you do.. Listen to your customer's feedback.. Give them what they want, (or be honest and explain to them why you cannot meet these expectations).. And control your costs to ensure what your customers want is both value for money for them, but delivers profits to you.. Utopia is to earn the "lifetime loyalty" of your customer, and given Speedway is a Team Sport, that 'emotional loyalty' should be easy to engender and taken as a 'given'... My 'loyals' as they are referred to, are absolutely key to my success, as if I lose ONE of them, such is the frequency of their visits per week, I need TWELVE other 'non loyals' (customers who shop at various locations), to visit me once a week to replace them.. Instead of wondering why they are not getting any new customers in, maybe Speedway should try and attract back those 'loyals' who used to attend, whilst at the same time listening to the 'loyals' who still do attend, but are gradually losing their emotional attachment to keep themselves attending..

Get 600 because you've over charged (£25) and the club will only average £15,000. To break even 660 are needed. For me, 30 races (especially against the same team) at £18 is excellent value and more likely to encourage more punters in. Maybe more Wolves fans and even reasonably close fans of other teams would turn up for what seems a bargain i.e Peterborough and Mildenhall etc. (For the record, figures worked out by meeting in the middle of adult and concession admissions) I can assure you most of the Peterborough supporters I know think the racing at Lynn is complete and utter pants. Bargain doesn’t come into it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And we have a misfiring Number 1 and a number 5 who was beset with mechanicals on Monday and only managed 2 points. I remain open-minded and hope I have an out and out Poole 'Rider of the Night' to present a trophy to?!! COYP. Edited August 22, 2018 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pointsmeanplayoffs 417 Posted August 22, 2018 Both teams operating R/R for their No.1's on a Double Header... where can I sign up!?! I very much doubt they will run all 30 heats. Despite all the advertising saying '30 heats of action' etc. Maybe they should offer a £1 rebate for every heat under 30 they don't complete which can be used off the next meeting? This should be the exciting end of the season, the push for the playoffs etc, but the circumstances make it impossible not to feel 'meh'. Had we have had a full team out it would be different I guess. Hope it's a good meeting for those of you who are going, and all the riders perform well. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
