mac101 1,176 Posted February 13, 2020 I think championship racing will need a better prepared race track to race on where as the Nl riders will ride just about anything Really As they don't moan much Kent track the way it has been the last few years we have raced there won’t make for good fast entertaining racing it’s pretty much a one line track but could be a lot better with a little bit of work 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Back to 2pounds for the programme and a family ticket saving 16%. Still 19 pounds though and no concessions for a large percentage of their supporters who can make the early start. Still they are a captive audience so why it take advantage I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sings4Speedway 3,223 Posted February 14, 2020 Ignoring the program a season ticket for 20 CL & 6 NL meetings represents a whole £14 discount. Obviously increased should cup progression or play offs happen but its hardly breath taking (unlike the adult admission price). The deciding factor on if i make any visits will be the calibre of the opposition. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does have the feeling of someone being dragged screaming and kicking in to making a small concession they don't really want to do. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IronScorpion 1,399 Posted February 14, 2020 On the price increase, you will be seeing better standard riders in the Championship but for others now picking & choosing meetings, based on the new prices, he would have to lose 1 out of about 7 punters. Even based on a crowd of 700, do you think about 100 will stop going. What they might miss out on, though, will be the possible away supporters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted February 14, 2020 Iron Scorpion, apart from the Bank Holiday Monday fixtures, away support at Central Park is a very small number of fans. This is probably true at most tracks ? With the distances involved , and time taken off work to get to midweek meetings, the cost of admission is a relatively minor expense for away support. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have said multi things including not graded enough, not enough material, you dont need lots a material. Atm your just a pseudonym with contradictory opinions.

I dont think it particularly negatively cambered these days anymore, but certainly would nt despute that the more chamber the better, at any track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crabba59 156 Posted February 15, 2020 I'm only saying what some riders have said to me. Like I've said I think the better the track preparation the better the racing will be. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if you’re going to miss a meeting (most people won’t be able to attend every single meeting) then there’s no point in buying a season ticket at all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wouldn't have gained a lot in the last 4 or 5 seasons in the NL under the same system, if they under perform like they have over that time schemes like Easties would be better.

Makes it a gamble to buy one on whether the team is going to perform or not. Surely it would make more sense to offer a season ticket for all guaranteed fixtures (league, cup first round etc.) and then if you’re a season ticket holder you get a discount for entry to further cup matches, challenges, play-offs etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just make sure the bar is well stocked and manned when Edinburgh and Glasgow come to town. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
