Like i said before it's always the customer that pays the increases unfortunately,whatever the business might be.The way is to stop the greedy rich oil companies maybe,but who's going to take them on though.This is where many price rises stem from imo. -

Why?I bet the cost to riders for their equipment,fuel and everything needed to race has gone up in the last 18 months(like everything else) so inevitably the cost per team would probably stay the same or be even more. Anyone for F1 at £300 a pop -

Absolutely agree.Pretty much everything has gone up in price.Bloody hell i only use to pay £6 for a haircut now it's £8 increase 33%.My Labrador cost me £650 3 years ago,a friend has just got one for £3,000.My garlic bread from F&b's has gone up 50p from 2 weeks ago and increase of 14%.Goods from the supermarkets has gone up,petrol is going back to where it was before,building materials up 30%.So yes whilst the league is slightly weaker the costs would have still gone up.Ultimately the customer pays in the end,but they have a choice.Bloody hell almost forgot got 2 bunches of asparagus from the local farm shop Sunday £7-50 no wonder they didn't have a price on it.The thing that mostly inflates prices is the cost oil/petrol/transport.King's Lynn have now raised their prices by £2 in 6 years that isn't bad at all compared to many other things. -

See adult admission is now £20,that will get the tongues wagging again.I will pay that as everything else has gone up.At least it hasn't doubled like some things. -

King's Lynn have put it out there that he will be there.It's only one person that may have worded things wrongly that makes it seem differently.Lynn shouldn't have to put things out there every time someone says something different,they could be very busy in that department if that was the case,especially if they read the forum This is taken from the Lynn news as Trees said On Riss, Allitt said: “No smoke and mirrors. Erik will be based in the UK and could have been here. The problem is the cost. Erik has got meetings tomorrow (Tuesday) and later in the week. “To get him here, to get a PCR test, book a flight, which is so expensive now... I said it’s not ideal, but he’s going to be here for the 17th. To get him in and out of the country and back again would cost £800 - and don’t forget he hasn’t earned anything in that amount of time.” -

It's what was said on the KL twitter that he would be there for Ipswich,although the piece in the EDP can be read both ways really so can see the doubt it puts in peoples minds.Including mine to start with.Maybe i'm reading it differently to others -

He is meant to be there next Monday.The way i read that is that it would have been too costly to fly him in and out for just a P&P when he has meetings in Europe this week. There was talk of Lawson instead of Riss,but as many bang on about including yourself about the lowering of standard of rider etc and yet you think the management maybe should have gone for Lawson.Wouldn't that be lowering the standard? -

Exactly,you can see why people don't trust Governments.They are now allowing more people to get closer together in smaller stadia than they are more spread out at larger ones.Unless it has more to do with everyone leaving at the same time which i can understand. He's there next Monday according to King's Lynn twitter i think it was.Anyway we will have Elliot Kelly on standby which we should still beat Ipswich anyway with some to spare -

That must be won at least once a month isn't it. -
Agree everything is going up,seems people are even happy paying double for a holiday in the UK to what they have paid before.Yet people worry about an extra £1.

Just seen the new Government relaxation of fans into sports stadiums on May 17th.So as i would understand it Lynn has a capacity of 8000 i think which is a small outdoor stadium(i assume).We would be allowed 50% of capacity or 4000 whichever is the lower,so 4000 on both counts for that then.This would be plenty for speedway at Lynn anyway.What i don't understand with the Government is for big stadiums you are allowed less people on percentages.So why would you allow more people bunched in at speedway than you would at say a football match. -
Allen in for Kinsley,with Bridger as a 1 star rider under new star rider rules drafted up from D.Bates

King's Lynn have done well not to put up admission prices too much in recent times i think.Pretty sure it was £17 for adults in 2015.So as of now that is only a £1 increase in 5 years.Whether you think the sport is more inferior now or not that has been a very low increase over 5 years. -
Why isn't Vissing riding.Is it the same issue?

There will probably be limited tickets for this match according to Allitt.How limited he didn't say. Below is taken from the Government website:If everything is going according to their easing of the lockdown this should happen from May 17th. The government will also allow some larger performances and sporting events in indoor venues with a capacity of 1,000 people or half-full (whichever is a lower number), and in outdoor venues with a capacity of 4,000 people or half-full (whichever is a lower number). In the largest outdoor seated venues, where crowds can be spread out, up to 10,000 people will be able to attend (or a quarter-full, whichever is lower). -

Personally i think some need to be held back to be sold on the night.Many of the crowds at speedway are made up of the older generation and not all of those like to buy things online.This could put those people off going,something speedway doesn't need. -

Can't see advance ticketing being a problem,but also can't see buying a ticket on the day being a problem neither.Isn't it 25% of capacity allowed in,which would be just over 2000 people.When was the last time we had that at Lynn,and quite frankly Ipswich aren't that a bigger draw any more -
In football Liverpool have certainly lowered their standards
