    If you buy a day ticket for the main racing only, its £28 (or £34 on the gate). That's not quite so good.

    You're right, though - just because something isn't comparatively expensive doesn't mean it is value for money and, in many cases, speedway does fall down there. 

    I went to the Belle Vue/Wolverhampton TV match last season and, basically, everything was just bang on. A reasonably close result, some fantastic racing, an Aces win - we even had Chase the Ace doing a 'Staying Alive' dance. I paid £10 but even at the usual £17 it would easily have been worth every penny.

    All too often, though, we have crap tracks, ridiculous, unnecessary delays, poor presentation and riders who can't be bothered. All that has to be addressed, and soon. 

    Many a time I have paid £32 on the gate at a BSB event and have never felt that I have not had value for money.  It is an excellent day out for the cash and I cannot always say that about speedway.

    Next week I am going to the Arenacross which again is fantastic value at £36. In our group we are taking a mum and her 11 year old who has never been to a motorcycle event. She wanted to show him motorbikes in the action as he quite enjoys the moto gp on tv.  I know that taking him there he will have a great night as it is non stop entertainment for 3 hours.

    As living near Reading the closest track to me is Swindon and I know if we took them there the chance of her wanting to return is low due to the facilities at the stadium and the journey being a pain.

    The only speedway that I would take them to is Cardiff.

    If you use Sky and you want BT Sport there is a deal on groupon. It says £9 a month but when I linked it on the BT Sport site it came in at £11 a month on a 12 month contract with no set up fee. It also came with free HD for 3 months.

    Still happy with that as it is half price and BoxNation is also on BT Sport.

    I was informed of this offer by the cancellation department at Sky and I think it is still available for another week.
