NO  . i have not .

Then why not? 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

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 .

I've heard the Scorpions will be in team race suits in 2019. Is that correct ?

[jenga 2,998]

will it make them go any better ?

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

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.

yep , lets just add to the expense of the sport .but i suppose they can get it back by increasing the entry fee to all tracks . that should do it ..  . may as well charge the fans to get out the tracks as well . but if thats what it take , do it .

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.

a certain team north of the border have done wonders for their team and its place of work .but according to reports , still cant make anything from it .

workington had team suits in the stoney era,  but still could not halt the dwindling fan base . so better to save the money and make it last as long as poss . + riders like their own gear .

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.
