 instead of these riders who go full throttle, for 4 blistering laps, putting their necks on the line, for the true Speedway fans. 

thats not why they do it.

The riders know the issues at Owlerton so dont race so close to the fence, if you want to risk it, you know what may happen.

So, what’s the point in allowing all that stuff to build up …

Good point, I have no idea, never been to Owlerton so cant speak from experience. Maybe to give the home team some sort of advantage I dont know.

The home riders know this also. They’ve also been critical of the track. It needs sorting because if riders don’t have confidence to ride to the max there, then the supporters are the ones who will suffer.

I can see Lynn being 24 quid if I’m honest, but I still wouldn’t mind if it was 25 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's all relative... It doesn't feel that long ago that starters in restaurants were 3 or 4 quid... now they are £7+

The only irksome thing is when you then need the change in your pocket for a programme which isn't in the entry cost - I'd rather just pay one cost for both

Suppose the only thing is if 2 or 3 of you go and normally share a programme, if included would make it dearer for their evening.

Oh yes, good point - so used to going on my own! 🤣

£24/£25 is ridiculous.

Speedway is going to price itself out.

Pensioners are struggling to keep warm. They have lost their winter fuel payment due to the Conservative Party leaving a big black hole in the budget.

Funny how this post completely contradicts your one on the Sheffield thread

You can stick your black hole where the sun don't shine.

I think Mr. Laguta/Basso/Starmer fan should keep politics out of a Speedway forum!

I am unable to type what I think...............

There is of course the option to stay at home and spend your £25 on the fuel bill? Have you been to a football match lately and seen how much they charge.

[Arch Stanton]

Stadium rent will have gone up in some cases, the riders expenses would have gone up also, therefore so will their demands. Literally everything in modern day life has become more expensive. Can’t really expect admission prices to freeze and the promotions take an even bigger hit. A small increase is to be expected.

Bel Vue quoted football prices as a way to justify ridiculous prices for the son. How did that work out.

 

Speedway isn't football. It's a £20 sport including a program. The reason we pay more is because we love it. 

 

I just looked at ticket prices for normdl one day cricket at Essex £14 in advance. £17 on the day

 

We all can compare apples and pears!!

I see lots of people without a programme, and if my Wife comes with me, we only buy one programme, so putting the price up even higher (perhaps by £3)  to include a programme is not a good idea in my opinion.

Yeah, true… not my best suggestion 🤣
