Village fete it is then Anyone interested in tickets for the tombola? 25p each or 5 for £1 - numbers ending with 5 win a packet of cuppa soup...

The seating at Ipswich was sourced from the temporary capacity required for the Olympics Perhaps there could be opportunities (for any club not just Belle Vue) to secure better podium options after future Commonwealth Games for example

An important part of season planning for a professional sport as set out by Dave However as is seen through this winter it seems that others want to reset the sport to the level of a village fete.....

Could get beaten more than an egg and it wouldn't matter Form is temporary, Class is permanent

The season is 1 day old and just 1 meeting in and King's Lynn has lost at home already After the turmoil of the winter some normality at last

A positive move Whether it was part of their initial plan or if it shows quick and decisive action after taking on feedback either is welcome No scheme will be 100% to everyone's liking but it is a significant improvement on the initial offering I can see Blu's point re transport but I don't see a solution to that within speedways remit

I can see where you ate coming from but saying they can't afford to make it less just means they ultimately get less - eg £0

Easy to compare £45 with £75 when you are the father and his two sons with the choice to make.....

Ipswich Town have under 19 and under 23 prices Season tickets work out approx £9 and £13 per match respectively My adult season ticket is cheaper per match than the speedway!!

Order of priority International National Premiership Championship Know your place

I suppose that depends on if the date was known (explicitly or provisionally) by the person arranging the Championship fixtures However even if it has come out of the blue it doesn't change the fact that the British Final has priority - it could be the only feasible/suitable Saturday for the event

So the choice for the Championship is to rearrange or run with facilities Hasn't the call over the last few years been "Why are we running the British Final on a Monday - it needs to be a Saturday night to attract a bumper crowd" Now it is set to be many are up in arms It affects one night in 6 months - get over it The tail shouldn't wag the dog.....

Isn't it part of their licence requirements?

Perhaps they won't get the choice It's the British Final and should get full priority

I agree - I'm all for a bit of patience but was expecting something within 48 hours of the announcement/fixture release

Looking through the thread it seems Nitros is the favourite However..... isn't using Nitro illegal

Very odd response! Your post said what about shape, banking etc - which is exactly what I outlined

Plenty of pictures online Just about 400 metres with long straights and tight turns to my eye Reasonable although not significant banking

Frustrating and demoralising when they will be in full swing of getting things primed for the start of the season Insurance??

Even more reason to secure a pot of money to make it attractive!

And what will attract more riders... .

Never too early for that - needs sorting by late summer if at all possible Will need a big input to be secured from somewhere / a new TV deal etc to be able to maintain or perhaps expand the top league Hopefully big enough to facilitate the elimination of doubling up If that cannot happen then its one big league

Ah yes - the 2 with current board members....

Or they could simply have maintained the minimum 4 point average for non Brits That change only really seems to have been made to benefit one club

What not? Look at American Football (yes a stratosphere ahead financially a sport I know) The play off finances are completely centralised
