PowerfulPierre 88 Posted September 23, 2021 This is going to be an expensive night of speedway for what, judging by Tuesday's result in Kent, will be a foregone conclusion. The question in my mind is "are we going for a sub 1 hour 15 minutes first meeting in order to get the cubs done and out the way before the Tesco car park curfew? Given the way that Kent raced through their 15 heats with no grading, no watering and no interval, and sod the quality of the racing which is what we wanted to see, I guess we could do it easily! Only difference being that judging from the past few weeks, we will get some decent races at Beaumont Park! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was some weather concerns but they managed a 74 minute meeting, including 4 lots of track grading! I ended up in a bar in Glasgow at 21:20 with my head spinning and that was before a pint or three. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lbw 869 Posted September 24, 2021 I only paid £20 at Newcastle for their double header vs Poole & Plymouth. Leicester is my local track but certainly won't be going to this double header. WTF, £25/£26 for the final regular league meeting & a NDL meeting against ermmm Kent, that's a reet big smack in the gonads for the loyal support shown by the Lions fans. Think this one will be appearing in Rip-Off Britain! Very very disappointed in the Lions promotion! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iainb 4,993 Posted September 24, 2021 I don't see why Lions fans should be penalised because the stadium has been silent on at least 3 race nights during the summer... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justathought 374 Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) Not for me at that price. It's hardly an attractive fixture. We beat them at their place by 16 points. £25/£26 for that and a junior meeting, who, I suspect half arnt interested in anyway. Plus £10 petrol.

Additional cost to run a NDL fixture as a double header would be recouped by £3.00 on the normal price. promoters clearly attempting to profiteer from regular supporters - very disappointing indeed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
