NUS cards are always NUS Extra cards these days, can't tell you why they rebranded for definite, but I suspect it is associated with differentiating between the discount scheme and the activities of the NUS as a Students' Union and representing students. I've never known a track request a specific type of card, and are normally happy to accept either the college/university ID card or an NUS Extra card. As long as they can see photo identification that you are a student, they will let you through! In all honesty, some have never seen an NUS card before so using the college/university ID often creates fewer problems as it clear what it is representing. As a note to previous comments, I get extremely frustrated with this stereotypical view of students always being 'well off'. I work closely with my own Students' Union and have recently been elected into a role that will see me represent over 500 students during the next academic year, and cannot begin to illustrate how far from the truth you are. If an individual is willing to forgo earning any type of decent wage (or claiming certain benefits) for x amount of years to study, why shouldn't they be given a discount as a reward for their hard work? They might even come back when they've graduated and pay the full adult price, AND bring their family, making sure speedway still has a fan base in years to come

As far as I'm aware, there is still a jacket potato stand if that helps at all! There's a fairly big Sainsbury's not far from the stadium too.
