Haza

What was embarrassing was that war cry that was it Robin Brundle came up with now that was embarrassing- think his name was Robin Brundle now whatever happened to him ? Carpet lifted swept under it never to be heard of again, or am I wrong or does he still have a role at the club ?

In all honesty after a 20 month break there shouldn’t be anyone missing from either side if certain riders are missing maybe Lawson would have been a more reliable signing after all .

I think the fans interest on all things KL speedway on social media has definitely fallen to what it was 2 to 3/years ago on both Twitter and Facebook- re tweets likes and sharing posts have all fallen I think and so has comments to posts - a lot of the usual suspects don’t comment now . it certainly should be a concern to the club .

A showery day forecast at the moment nothing major though and showers should die out by start time - Though speedway being speedway who knows I’ve seen meetings called off for less in the past .

Absolutely spot on

There will come a point when the sport can’t downgrade any further and it’s not too far away whilst this season the priority has to be getting the sport with riders on tracks fans into stadiums the standard has gone down again as it has for years , money has definitely been saved with not having to pay Lambert and replace him with Bridger so I can see no justification for a £20 adult admission charge .

Personally I think it’s a £15 sport considering the downgrading that’s gone on over the previous seasons and a 6 team league this season but that’s just my views

Some people moan at me for being negative on here but sadly what’s happened today with tickets sales and total lack of professionalism from the club sums up British speedway in a nutshell. Fans taken for granted yet again .

The article can be read both ways I’m not sure after reading it 3 times - a quick press release from the club would clear any possible misunderstanding up . After all if fans think we are missing a rider it will put people off attending.

Well let’s hope he is there for Monday I really do and it would be handy if the club could clear this doubt up straight away on social media .

If Riss isn’t going to be there Monday I’ve read again and it could be taken either way - I’d definitely have signed Lawson yes lowering standards but nothing puts fans of more than riders being unavailable riders . A full 1-7 is what fans want to see

Well I’ve obviously read it wrong then - apologies

Can’t disagree with that if only other tracks was as good .

Any new fans ? I think over the years it’s been obvious 0% effort been made to attract new fans and 0% effort to listen to and keep existing fans happy . You only have to look at the age group of speedway fans to see new fans isn’t happening . So a marketing campaign very unlikely to happen but I agree that definitely it should happen. As for value for money and dropping quality standards year on year my take on admission prices £15 would be fair . To keep lowering standards and keep putting prices up that can’t be right .

That ended years ago - even from when KL went up into the EL as it was 10 years ago the standard downwards has been unbelievable

On the Ipswich website there adult admission is £19 available on line from the 12th May and they urge fans to buy online as capacity restrictions apply at 2000 but turnstiles will be open on the day of the meeting

Sadly Premier Sports use speedway as a schedule filler nothing more even live friendly tiddlywinks would get priority over Polish speedway . Watch on line and save not only money but also the frustration of Premier Sports . I’ve been. Caught in the past but never again

Financial suicide if it is £20 absolute madness- we shall have to see when it’s officially announced . But to expect fans to pay more for a much weaker product doesn’t make much sense to me.

Wonder if the booking fee (presumably there will be one ) will be per booking as your hopefully booking as a group or per ticket ? And guessing no more than 6 in the group ? Rule of 6 ?

Think we all no stock cars are no1 priority at KL and to be honest who can blame him - minimal expense maximum income where as Speedway maximum expense minimal income - and take in the extra worked of putting the safety barrier and wooden boards up and taking them down - it’s Stocks all the way sadly

Absolute madness if any price increase with a much weaker product yet again - if any thing a decrease would do more to attract fans

Who can say at this point if I will buy one or not and no one else can either we have no details of tickets buying on the gate or on line and the most importantly we can’t be 100% sure the start date won’t be pushed back - it’s wait and see at the moment . Leicester press release- all tickets to be bought on line unless season ticket holder up to mid day of the meeting.

My guess that will be least of the problems - I can see problems at the main entrance into stadium with those who have tickets those that don’t (unless all ticket ) the 2 metre rule causing long delay getting into stadium also when in stadium keeping people moving away from the entrance- programmes could be another problem causing a delays - unless it’s a print at home program that might be an option or get your program on entrance through the main gate - food out let’s toilets souvenirs shop all potential problems- fans wanting to chat with fans they’ve not seen since September 2019 - it’s not going to be easy - then heat 15 the rush to the car park . there is much to consider for each club and the co- operation of the public . The easiest option is wait till June 21st before starting the season when more restrictions should be lifted .

Possible way around this mix and match if a 1000 tickets are sold on line the club then no they can sell a 1000 on the night bearing in mind social distancing though this could be a problem around the box office and main entrance- could they open an entrance on the back straight for ticket holders ? Sadly I think attending any event is going to be very very different from what we are used to in the past .

And how do you no what numbers could turn up then without advanced ticket sales ? And if a big crowd was to turn up on the 17th who’s got the job of turning fans away when capacity is reached ? Stock cars fans last year was having to buy tickets in advance so really can’t see the problem.
