Berwick v Edinburgh Saturday 15 June, 7pm

Recommended Posts

I don't know, why were they? (Only joking...)

Face it, Berwick is usually Baltic. Good atmos at Shielfield generally tho, which is why we attend fairly regularly.

We are very friendly.

But do not forget your coat.

And only £10 next Saturday.

Just spoke to someone who goes every week didn't know it was £10 next week so still people out there that don't know 

Obviously there are posters, thousands of fliers, social media posts, articles in the local press and on the website and Facebook about the offer but sometimes nothing can beat just telling your mates - or sharing the electronic media - to make sure they don't miss out. Thanks for doing your bit :t:

There may be a slight increase in regular attendance, but not enough to make it sustainable at £10 a pop. Need to make the racing more entertaining, because in truth it’s been pretty dull overall in recent years.

For every 10 adult customers who paid in last week they'll need 17 to pay in this week to achieve the same revenue. Is it even achievable? Definitely a brave move but perhaps £14 or £15 would be a more realistic figure.

Not just as clinical as that of -- the extra people, even if not quite "17-over-10" will buy programmes (handy profit in every copy) plus food and drink.    

Track shop sales will go up, and of course there is the intended bonus of lapsed and/or new customers liking their night out and coming back for more on future Saturdays.

While going down to £10 this week is a breathtakingly bold leap by the young promoters, it really has to be applauded and supported by everyone who really wants to see speedway continuing in Berwick. 

What now has to happen is that everyone "tells a friend" about the deal, highlights the thousands of posters and fliers around the borders and urges folk to takes the opportunity to come along, bring the kids and savour the occasion.

Get a buzz going around town and keep that buzz going on the night -- let's have some fun while we're enjoying the show!

Apart from Col, I still don't think the cost is the issue.  The fans that are left are the die hards, who would probably pay £20, might moan a bit, but would still probably pay it.  If the  crowd is about 500, they would need 350 more to stand still, the whole exercise doesn't seem to make business sense.  There must be a way of leaving the entrance cost the same, and getting some discount vouchers out to people who no longer attend.

Still say cost is not the issue, but the product itself that is the problem, fans have fallen out of love with the way speedway is run and presented

I cannot applaud the promotion enough for this move and keep fingers crossed its a success. If Berwick can prove that Speedway in this country is sustainable as a £10 sport (which it is in its current guise) then hopefully many others will follow suit.

Just doing the sums. I get the bit about people spending extra at the shop/bar but will they each spend another £7 to match the normal entry price. I wish Berwick the best of luck and hope they get some retention from it at future meetings.
