Len turned 88 over the weekend. Lets face it he isn't chasing the profits (thats Roger Cearns) but he doesn't want to be pumping his own money into the project either. Kent have run a profit each season which is the right way to do business however not if the fans are those who are being forced out in the process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GiveusaB 1,146 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) I think Kent should've staggered their increase in meeting fees....big jump for the 'home' fans! Edited February 6, 2020 by GiveusaB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shame was looking forward to Championship racing and riders. Most expensive in the land including the PL. Only Belle Vue charge the same and even they offer an senior concession and, if you are a senior, it comes out £6 more than many other CL clubs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not necessarily. Some other clubs offer good deals by comparison, Ipswich for example:- Full paying adult £18, 60+ £16, 16/17 year olds £5 15 and under free. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Doctor... 1,478 Posted February 6, 2020 16 hours ago, flipper11 said: You can get a train to Sittingbourne station and walk to the track or if your short of time a taxi, I’m not sure of the cost. If you look like a speedway supporter someone may feel sorry for you and pick you up on the way. One of the benefits of the meetings finishing at 8.30 is no rush for the last trains. Appreciated, thanks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
