A lot of fans pick and choose meetings so spread out at different meetings during the season. But obviously they all choose to attend the playoffs! Championship it is pretty costly to go to every meetings & I can understand anyone on a budget picking and choosing which they want to go to. If every meeting had gone ahead Redcar would have been 5 home meetings in April Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I go on a Thursday evening, there’s seven Witches donned in their Witches team suits representing my home town team. Who cares who else they ride for?? I don’t. Danyon Hume rode for Glasgow last night and rode very well, but to me he’s a Witch riding for someone else. Edited July 7, 2022 by Arch Stanton 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on the Skipper 75 Posted July 7, 2022 Ok, seriously considering coming to this but haven't been to Kings Lynn since the 70's! We're staying in Wroxham so would be leaving in around an hour. Is that enough time to get there and into the stadium before tapes up. Cash and/or card on the gate? Cash for grandstand transfer and food and drink? How exposed is it in the grandstand? It's nice and sunny in Wroxham at the moment with a gentle breeze, do I need 3 layers? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should only take about 75 minutes from Wroxham i would have thought,obviously dependant on traffic. Cash and card is accepted at the gate. Unsure on food/drink whether they take card.Think it is cash for the main grandstand as i think it is only a £1 or £2. The granstand is quite high with no cover,so open to the elements,when the sun goes down you may need 5 layers.It's lovely and sunny here too with a breeze. Edit:Breeze has dropped now I have just ventured outside again and it's hot.I would still bring layers though for when the sun goes down.

Just to add to Telboy's post. Food and drink is cash or card. The grandstand is £2. I'm not sure but i would image cash for that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
