Pinny 2,536 Posted January 29, 2021 The prices have to be slashed hugely for it to work now , cant imagine anyone in their right mind would be happy forking out 18 quid with the dropped standard. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grow up you pleb. Speedway was borderline value for money when the stars were riding UK, now their not , charging the same if not more is daylight robbery. speedway is a ten pound sport. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the product is what fans want, then riders have to put on great close racing, to do this their equipment has to be the best it can be, which costs them money. At the end of the day us the fans have always been the ones who have to pay the piper. One of my hopes is that clubs encourage younger fans, 1 full price parent = 1, 15 and under free entrance. As for the argument of the product being poorer so the entrance fee reflecting this is a none starter, as an example,my football team Manchester Utd, are poor to watch compared to the Fergie years, the entrance fee has not gone down.

Now it just needs Brady & Jye to confirm they will be coming over....and the season to start....and the weather to behave..... Brady has a team spot in Poland so should be coming back over to take his team place over there. Whether or not he has to base himself over there again or is then allowed to fly in and out between Poland and Britain without isolation and quarantine remains to be seen.

That will take Bewley out of the country as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hes right to an extent. I've said it for years now but speedway can't rely on the die hards anymore. There isn't anywhere near enough fans anymore and with the quality dropping you are going to struggle to bring in the casuals with prices being the way they are. At max I think you can price the current standard of the premiership at £15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although given the number that run at a loss some will have had a more financially successful year in 2020 than previous seasons. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which again, you'll con the very few hard-core fans left to buy in at those prices because we do care. But its going to be tough to convince any casual to buy in for that sort of money.
