Which is why many OAPs stopped attending

Really ? Stop a major hobby in retirement for £1, what can you actually buy for £1 in this day & age ?

Not much but you can spend an hour in the ever-increasing post office queue counting out the one hundred pennies you've saved to hand over :D

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.

Yes  but maybe that's why the post office is still open?

It's only a pound, but that's not the point, it's about principle. In some folks minds, less means less.;)

Correct, its the principle.

They increased the admission price for OAPs by £1 by removing their previously existing concession.

That's what I have been banging on about. 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'?!

But don't the majority of top league riders ride in the lower league?,

Stoneman needs good fast equipment, the Oak Tree is a fast circuit .

Jepperson would be a good shout I think, he appears to have come on bundles from two years ago.

That 2 seasons in the Premiership almost bankrupted the club. 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.
