semion 2,192 Posted May 12, 2021 With Lynn admission at £20 and P’Boro under the same umbrella will their admission be £20 or will the supporters there have to pay more as there is rent on the stadium to pay ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trees 2,814 Posted May 12, 2021 There has to be a good reason for not having the tix on sale cos they would 100% have them on sale if at all possible! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Star Lady 5,400 Posted May 12, 2021 Just read thro this thread and two things come to mind. 1. Nothing has changed regarding managements attitude to the fans. 2. I’m so pleased I gave up on it a few years back having spent the money on short breaks instead, with a company who know how to appreciate and treat their customers. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So put out a tweet/PR at 0900 saying why. It would take no longer than you or I putting a post on here. I refer you to my post above regarding attitude 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,683 Posted May 12, 2021 It would be so easy to let everyone know via social media and websites why there is a delay, to apologise for it and give us an indication of when tickets can be bought if possible. So quick to do. You’d think with the few loyal customers it has left that British Speedway would treat them as well as it possibly can! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,645 Posted May 12, 2021 12 hours ago, stu219 said: And just a side note. If the admission is £20 remember 20% of that goes to good old Richie sunak as VAT ,so actually the money the promoters get is less than £17. A side point I know but please people don't think the promoters are getting the full £20 in their pockets Read all the comments following my disbelief at admission costs. What seems to be missed here is the price rises are counterintuitive. We all understand costs go up for variable reasons. With speedway they have a sport when run correctly they should be looking to bring the prices DOWN. With the consistency of fans walking away (and oldies dying) price rises tend to correlate with this rather than costs. British Speedway knows it's on it ass & there seems to be clear evidence that all that's happening is as fans walk away, prices go up, which will continue until the day comes all tracks doors are closed. There no evidence of promoter's trying to grow the sport, marketing the product etc. Also, evidence of it's huge down turn is TV. When Sky Sports took it there was a massive opportunity to lift the sport but it wasn't taken so Sky didn't want it anymore. Then it went to BT who no longer wants it so now at the bottom rung of Eurosport. The sport is even dying on live TV. I used to be a huge defender of Speedway (especially King's Lynn) but it's very true what people say. Speedway is like any bad habit, once you break it you don't find the need to ever return. There's no 'hook' like there was from 20-30 years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
