So when i turned up at Foxhall to find out they werent in the pits, i got back in my car and drove home... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arch Stanton 2,232 Posted December 7, 2021 So 10 home league fixtures, plus however many this “new competition” contains, plus a premiership pairs round, for a season ticket value of £205 this year. That’s pretty good value compared to previous years isn’t it? Need to have confirmation of the fixture list to see exactly how many fixtures you’re getting for that though, as the amount for this new comp isn’t yet clear from what I see. When you compare to Wolves, who have replaced their season ticket with a book of 15 tickets for 260 quid, ours looks like it could be great value Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon1983 557 Posted December 7, 2021 Dont hold me to it but a couple of people have said the new competition might feature two groups of 3 Ipswich, Peterborough & Kings Lynn Belle Vue, Wolves & Sheffield 4-3-2-0 scoring system home and away once top side into a final Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not totally correct as i was picking up Zagar at Stansted airport but his flight was late in and the Reading management put plan B into operation. Matej insisted we went to Ipswich and arrived about heat 8. I then did my radio summarising bit for the live Radio Berks coverage and then drove Matej back to a Stansted hotel where he spent the night before flying out to Sweden for the GP on the Saturday.

I'd say that makes Beerhut correct...... Neither raced and no one was made aware until moments before the tapes went up on heat 1 The fact that Zagar got to see 7 heats didn't contribute to the fans vfm for the night 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edit: Still makes it better than Wolves offering, just! 17.33 a meeting. If Wolves don’t make the final of the cup, or make the play offs, they’ll have to include a couple of individual meetings to allow fans to use the 15 tickets. I know they normally do the Olympique, but they’ll have to do another one Edited December 7, 2021 by Arch Stanton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Reading management had taken a different course of action and covered his rides until we arrived he would have ridden !! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do like the idea of paying up front and getting it done for the season, but can’t justify it really as I know I’ll end up out of pocket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,232 Posted December 7, 2021 Just worked it out that you can afford to miss one meeting and break even. But that’s on this years admission price of 19 quid. As far as I can see they haven’t mentioned the admission cost for next year, just the season ticket costs. Maybe the admission will increase.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
