I have two sons who were born with what in this country is classed as a mental disability....neither could be described as a retard or retarded. One of them is currently at university, the other is an A student at college and will be going to university in 2017. I'd be queueing up with Spin King to do some nose punching if anyone described my boys as retards and I am a completely non violent person!

Got to hope that some of the team members have BT sport too otherwise we are all beggered lol.

Hmm, that's me beggered then for watching any kind of speedway on television...absolutely no way I am paying an extra £20 a month for a couple of meetings.

At one point, all 3 of mine used to come to speedway with me, the two older ones were well and truly hooked on the sport (youngest was never that bothered)...until they hit 16. It was at that age that they had to start paying adult rate, despite still being in full time compulsory education (they turned 16 at the beginning of the school year). They could not take advantage of the student rate as they were not old enough to receive a student card (have to be in 6th form) and because they were in their last GCSE year, a part time job didn't pay enough or was difficult to have due to required after school attendance/events for their courses (middle son mainly). Eldest son went from never missing a meeting to going to 4 meetings in the last 6 years, middle son hasn't been back at all in the last 2 years. Their lives have moved on in the mean time and although eldest is now better able to afford to go infrequently, that break from going when they turned 16 put the kibosh on their passion. 10 years ago our little group numbered 5, this season on a lot of occasions, I was Billy no mates. Weirdly, youngest son came to Cardiff with me this year (alongside eldest), he absolutely loved it and wants to go again...but only to a GP, not a normal speedway meeting. He loved the noise, the presentation, the excitement of the crowd and was swept along by it all and this is a child (oops, young adult, he is almost 18 now) who hates crowds and noise usually. When I asked him why, he said it was more exciting, more organised, felt more special. I don't know what the answer is unfortunately to increase crowds at general league meetings, cost is an issue for some (as it was for 2 of my boys), for others it is the presentation and feel (youngest), still others it is the stadiums, the constant tinkering of the rules etc.

I could never understand why people leave before the end....if I've paid for something, I blooming well stay to get my monies worth (even if we are losing). I've actually seen people leaving before and then missing a nail biting end to a meeting as we have pulled it back round again. As per normal when Edinburgh are in town, I am going to be seriously torn tonight, it always used to be that the Witches were my Elite team and the Monarchs my Premier team (I'm half Scottish, so support the 'family' team) but now both are in the same league, it makes for a difficult night for me.
