All Activity

Have had BSN for my elderly parents for the last 4 years and can't fault it for the cost, yeah had a few teething problems with some streams from time to time when it first came along but its got better year on year tbf, my parents who are both 85 love their speedway and have been going regularly to local tracks since the Norwich speedway days, and were season ticket holders at Ipswich, Lynn, P'boro and Mildenhall for many a year before Covid stuck, it's just an easier option for them these days then driving to a meeting and having to sit about in all weather's at their age.

Chris Harris and the Steel Shoe band...

Correct.

The first half of your post clearly explains why Nicholls would sign on his Champ converted ave. So I was surprised for you to then get it the wrong way round at the end? Nicholls most recent MA is his 2025 Plymouth one, so that's what's used - for both leagues.

I always replace a bulb in my lamp.

They don’t have tracks on ships

And if you compare the cost of living, and average salaries, in both countries, then the UK, pro rata, is quite a bit less

I concur re Poland, will be going again this season, several times... I think they miss a great opportunity to use the Manchester city centre as a "GP Hub"... Meet the riders etc.. Well over a hundred thousand people will be going through there on the Friday and Saturday... What an opportunity to not only advertise a "Flagship" event, to create some "Big Event" feel for Speedway, but also, off the back of it, advertise the Aces and UK Speedway in general... And all to an audience who, in the main, won't have a clue who you are, or what you do... A "gift horse" if ever there was one for the Aces.. As for the pricing? I will be watching world class action, with most riders there not riding over here... I woukd rather pay over £60 for that, than around £30 for some contrived, Mickey Mouse, domestic offerings..

Regarding price just had info off a friend who is going to the lodz GP and ticket price is £106 for 2 meetings GP and GP 2 so £125 for 2 GPs is similar price

Not defending the price, but if you book flight seats you don't get child prices

Same here , hopefully no one will catch me after I robbed the bank to get me tickets 😜😀

That’s my point really, it’s not so much the price, it’s what am I getting for that price ? Cardiff was a great day out as you say and imo should of moved to a new venue a few years before its demise, the GP for me should be something different, an experience, I’ve booked Poland again this year and if I’m honest I get more of a buzz from the experience of the league matches before and after the GP but even on GP day the towns are buzzing, belle vue is literally just a meeting and that’s it and as much as the racing is great I can get that experience on a league match there for a third of the price, I hope it’s a success again and hopefully a sell out but it’s just not for me I want something different

Wouldn't it make sense to get him a ticket in the East stand? Cheaper, he gets a seat, and he'd be able to see better.

Cardiff was an overall great day out... Until it wasn't, as the novelty wore off.. The racing certainly didn't often stand up to scrutiny of being the reason for going... I think just over £60 a night in the South Stand is VFM considering I have just laid out nearly £30 for the PCMT...

... but at what price? Any price? P.S. I got my 2 dayer too, standing, would never pay that price to sit 👍

Bought 3 adult tickets in Block A in North Grandstand,Just need the bookie now to pay for them lol

It is a bit curious though, isn't it? The last time i went to Cardiff I paid £18 (early bird price). And the place was more than half empty which lead to no more GPs there. I have to say though that I went to the Friday meeting at BV last year and as we left I did say that the meeting we'd just seen was a real candidate for the best GP ever. Perhaps real fans want to see real racing eh? [edit] P.S. I've just bought two day tickets for this year.

Pretty much the same was said last year. And they came pretty close to selling out both nights.. I suppose if they do the same again, then their pricing has been proved correct...

As the Great Tony Wilson said... "This is Manchester" "We do things differently here"..

Did they replace them with "Guests"?

Those prices are absolutely disgusting. I was at the FA Cup final in May and my four year old nephew’s ticket in the south stand cost £40. That same ticket would cost £69 at the British SGP… but he wouldn’t get a seat. He wouldn’t even be able to see FFS. Are these idiots for real?

He did it on the PCMT ticket page?? 'chortle chortle'

Tickets didn't appear until 10:01 Manchester Time 😁

I think it’s bad enough for charging a child full price in the seats but they would argue it’s still a seat but charging a child full price to stand up is quite frankly just ludicrous and not the way to encourage anyone with a child to take them and probably putting off the adult too

He did that at 09.55 Ian. Coz like everything to do with British Speedway, it was done with the paying fans in mind!
