Im sure you'll find that if you speak to him, you'll have a changed opinion of the man. He actually wants speedway to have a future (hence all the practice sessions and amateur meetings).. He'll give you an honest answer, hence why imho, is the best promoter in British Speedway 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluenose 74 Posted March 11, 2019 Just seen this. Scorpions have held adult entry fees at £16, with their opening meeting coming on April 5 when they host Championship newcomers Leicester.Godfrey said: “We offer one of the most attractive set of admission prices across the entire Championship, and that will again be the case in 2019.“We realise the need to provide a good value-for-money package. That doesn’t just cover the admission, but also the complete works – such as the programme and the food.“It doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to watch speedway in Scunthorpe and that’s important if you want people to come back every week.” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Seems a good deal (food as well ?) Might pop up for the Brummies match. ps. one bad EGG at bcfc . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd highly doubt it.. whats the point in paying £500+ per suit, when you can get a set of race jackets made for £350 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really the point is it.....for a sport struggling to attract sponsors and punters and drag itself into the twenty first century team suits are a no brainier and should be compulsory in our top two leagues. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn’t think for a moment I’d get a sensible answer but for what it’s worth that’s a very negative way of looking at it. How about trying to look as professional as possible to gain more sponsorship? Speculating a bit to accumulate? Even some National League teams have them. Why would a team want their collective photo in the paper on online with everyone in different gear? Looks so amateurish. Unfortunately too many people in speedway are like you and have a can’t do attitude rather than trying to drive the sport forward. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Think you are wrong, & typify what is wrong with a lot of speedway fans. We need to make the sport more professional, & racesuits are very important to improve the image of the sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
