A team with only one heat leader , Lambert replaced by Bridger can’t justify a increase. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

semion 2,192 Posted May 5, 2021 Hasbro have launched a new Yo Yo that only goes up now. They are calling it the ‘Farke’. For the less challenging user they have launched a far inferior product called the ‘Cookie’ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You get a realistic discount for a season ticket in football, unlike speedway. For that I will see 19 games. The speedway product provides the prospect of being able to watch 5 other teams with effectively 15 minutes of entertainment in each meeting. The vast majority of races will feature a "follow the leader" pattern. The season's main aim for each team is to not finish in 5th or 6th position. If that is what floats your boat, fair enough. I think I am fairly certain where my focus will be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starboy118 237 Posted May 7, 2021 I have never understood the justification for booking fees. It is just an excuse to extract more money. It winds people up (or it does me!). If you feel you need to charge a bit more, just include it in the price for the event. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If speedway was in the position they are we'd all expect something similar, UNFORTUNATELY it's not!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted May 7, 2021 Well, once again despite all the hype about reducing costs by cutting points limits , one by one the "premiership" clubs are upping their admission prices. The ever ageing dwindling band of "diehards" will surely turn up, but if the aim is to attract new supporters to the sport , they are going a funny way about it. six green bottles sitting on the wall, six green bottles sitting on the wall....... How many green bottles will be sitting on the wall in 2022? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
