OK, so it's not a surcharge on Seniors... but you're "encouraged" to pre-book meaning that there may be a certain demographic that are less likely to do this. Strange one as usually it's the other way around and you get surcharged for booking online. No doubt this has been done to death elsewhere on the forum

So they pay more than an "Adult"?

Why what is it?

You would hope so, it's their product to sell... wasn't their somebody watching from Canada last night? Hard to imagine that they would have attended

Like I said, I only went the once last year to follow Leicester and it was a lovely summer night, there was quite a contingent of travelling Lions and the crowd was probably double what it was last night. I can't imagine that there were that many Lions there so I'm guessing the others are casuals... and I doubt very much that they'd be paying for a stream

Possibly... but I'm sure Oxford will have pulled in some cash in from people (like myself) who would have never attended this match.

Maybe it'll pick up a bit during the summer. I only went the once last year when Leicester were visiting and the crowd was massive for modern times

Great ride from Masters! Toying with Paco. The experienced riders are really showing their class tonight. Ride of the month from JJ

Depends if you count Bomber as a guest LEICESTER: Max Fricke, Justin Sedgmen, Richard Lawson, Chris Harris, Nick Morris, Jake Allen, Dan Thompson. KING’S LYNN: Nicolai Klindt, Thomas Jorgensen, Frederik Jakobsen, Steve Worrall, Michael Palm Toft, Craig Cook, Jason Edwards.

Air!

The crowd looks to have dropped off quite a bit

I think the weather forecasters may win this one

You guys don't even have any kind of petition for the Speedway world to sign! What's the plan... to print this thread out with people saying close the club down now! I'm almost lost for words... not quite though

Thanks for the feedback... amid all of the other pointless posts on this hysterical thread I'm surprised you've not replied to all the others

But they didn't start the fire

Personally i think Peterborough and all clubs should be looking to follow the Leicester model. Council owned land leased back on a 99 year contract. The sport needs to move away from being tenants to private landlords and/or here today gone tomorrow promoters.

So why hasn't he?

Yes, but there's hardly a queue of people lining up to buy the club is there... The Ford's can't even unload Poole! And riders aren't exactly queuing up to ride in the UK either, how much would you be willing to pay as an entrance fee to see a signing like Zmarzlik, Janowski, Vaculik or any GP No 1? £30? £40? It's simple economics, because even if you were... they'll be 5 or 6 others that won't. Nicki P has let you (and Buster) down badly, I can't see how you think Buster hasn't shown you respect, I remember him on the PA last year (I think) and he was most respectful about the clubs supporters and staff... he paid you the ultimate respect by saving your club when nobody else wanted to.

I think you have bigger fish to fry at the moment than winning speedway matches. If your club does not survive into the future you'll not be winning Speedway matches again for a very long time

If you put as much energy into starting a campaign to keep your club open as you are into calling for your club to close immediately just because you're not winning you may stand a chance of continuing into the future. Having had 3 of the clubs I supported close over the years, I wouldn't wish it on any one.

It's the difference between being a "supporter" and a fan(atic)... which one are you?

Thanks

What's happened to Picko?

I think, back in the day the National League was a separate entity, a bit lit like what NORA is today. Rye House opened pandora's box when they signed Razza and he was quite an attraction at the time and understandably other NL clubs then followed suit to boost their businesses... eventually the leagues merged and then you end up where we are today
