    Nothing, as long as they were at the meeting to form their own opinion. These people haven't been to a meeting in years by their own admission yet still think they have a valid opinion on what's happening now. 

    Its their choice not to go, that's fine, but I've lost my local track because of ' non-attenders' who all went years ago and still feel free to slag the sport and then bemoan the state of the sport and the fact tracks are closing.

    Ludicrous!

    Dedicated supporters who have been going for years suddenly stop going! Ever asked yourself why?

    Same here. Now I'm retired we have to watch costs, and living south of Norwich the total cost for myself and my wife, with fuel, admission and a couple of programmes is £60 per meeting. I can't say the racing was very entertaining on our last few visits, so we stopped going, as we felt it was poor value for that amount of money for us.  I still class myself as a fan, and follow everything that goes on, but I'm finding it increasingly difficult to motivate myself to do that 100 mile round trip. I don't know if its just us, or if other fans feel the same way?

    I can understand exactly what you are saying. I have been to one meeting in the last two years, having been a regular attender (including a number of away visits), for many years. I first started going to speedway in the early sixties at the Firs, but that's another story. There are a lot of reasons why i no longer go with the value for money aspect being one of them. I was finding it increasingly difficult to continue an empathy with the team and the riders with things like doubling up, guests, ever increasing rider replacement being so prevalent. British speedway seems to be at the bottom of the importance list for most riders,. i.e. the fourth division. I find it very difficult to get excited about it although I do still monitor what goes on. Also, what other sport would allow one person to own three of the seven clubs in the top league? Absolutely ridiculous!

    You could well be right such a shame because the sport can improve in the UK if everyone pulled in the same direction.

    In my opinion that is a pipe dream. Improvement will not happen because the product is seriously flawed.

    Great to see Lewis back this season. If we as supporters can’t be happy that a local lad is in the team then god help us.

    We should be singing what Spurs fans sing about Harry Kane

    He’s one of our own

    He’s one of our own

    Lewis kerr

    He’s one of our own

    Our even Norwich fans about Todd Cantwell  :party:

    20p for the use of the toilets is quite reasonable;e if KLS need to maximise their income streams. The problem is when people don't have the change and they will nip round the back of the building ( a very convenient space ) and the grandstand. It will smell as bad as the long-demolished 4th bend loos. But is that a small price to pay to see that speedway racing continues at Saddlebow Rd? Instead of a change machine that may lead to a build-up of cross-legged fans why not allow an ex-rider to sit at a table outside the toilets and take the money? 

    Or perhaps the supporters could be encouraged to donate a lump sum!  :rofl:

    If you feel that strongly, organise a protest. Get everyone to enter the car park offering a £20 note for the parking fee. I guess the ensuing chaos might be the only think the promotion will take notice of:P

    Personally I think it will be chaotic at the first meeting anyway as this has not been well advertised (making no comment :P) so many won't have change ready to hand and queues will build. 

     

     

    Or turn up with 100 penny coins  :blink:

    Far kin hell.

    £1 to park, £18 to get in, £3 for a programme, £1 to sit down.

    £23 for the tripe served up a King's Lynn, what a bargain :rolleyes:

    They'll be charging you to go to the toilet next! What am I doing? I've just given him another idea!    :cry:
