Of course no speedway race could be anywhere as exciting as watching a frame of snooker. Whose being ripped off? Supply and demand isn't it, what does the Crucible hold 1000? There'll always be people that can afford to pay that, especially with the number being so small... and there were quite a number of empty seats (not British Final empty), I assume they were corporate tickets. Maybe a shape of things to come if the capacity of Speedway GP's gets any lower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PLUS you get a better viewing experience at home on the telly. For sure there will be corporate seating their, but when you look at the crowd many/most of them look like "normal/average" people And its not just the world championship snooker that gets massive tv exposure, its other major championships from around the UK, Europe, middle and far east. Speedway at its best is an amazing sport to watch, not everyone's cup of tea for sure, certainly the sport does not get the publicity it deserves I read a comment from Dan Bewley re that amazing last race at the British Championship the other week.. something like..that's what this track can deliver when prepared well. Sounded to me he was having a dig at what the wrong input in track preparation can have at the 2 GP's in June, leave it to BV staff and it will be good...leave it to others and it could be average. If Charles Wright and Chris Harris can challenge the likes of Dan and Robert in that final race then, potentially, all 23 races will be amazing hot....if the tracks right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
