The problem is they lowered the standard by dropping down a League and made or more expensive for concessions, not clever. It’s like getting relegated in football and making it more expensive to go, don’t be surprised then by all the empty seats. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only a pound, but that's not the point, it's about principle. In some folks minds, less means less. Edited November 15, 2019 by ruffdiamond Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will pay for the top riders to appear as will a lot of people, otherwise how do we get the crowds at Cardiff? Dumbing down seldom works. Why don't Debbie and Bill ask if we are prepared to pay to be in the top division, and if so how much? Great track but it needs good riders to get the best from it for the paying public.

So which heat leaders from any of the Championship clubs would you clasify as 'no good'?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cliffeboy 577 Posted November 17, 2019 Jepperson would be a good shout I think, he appears to have come on bundles from two years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should try reading the Star - there's lots of factual info in there. Anyone like to guess how much Somerset paid Doyle? Not saying he's not worth it, but did he pull in sufficient extra fans to pay his way? Perhaps, Somerset folk would like to put us in the picture. He cannot have been cheap.
