See the BSN Package prices have been released. At around £5-70 a stream I struggle to see how these prices do the remaining Speedway clubs any favours. Championship 30 streams for £169-99.

It is great value isn't it?

Clubs then charging £15 or so for their own stream could look somewhat excessive when compared to BSN...

Still a tad too much for my pension. Can anyone set up a go fund me page, so I can join you all?

I was actually rounding it up with you in mind 😃. You boys with super inflated pension pots will take no harm. As a former British Steel deferred pensioner I was seriously shocked at the size of the transfer value amounts some of you boys at TSP had . I have already tipped Andrew off to work on you as a possible Premium Sponsor 💰🤣

Don't wish your life away mate, the years pass all too quickly and appear to go faster with age.

Clubs charge per meeting. Paying for a single BSN meeting is similar price to the clubs stream.

I look at streaming as an opportunity to see away meetings. I’m self employed so taking a whole day plus fuel to attend an away meeting is quite costly. Streaming has its place, I don’t think I can justify travelling away but I’m happy to pay to watch it on my tv.

For certain clubs visiting fans help make the sport more financially viable, add to meeting atmosphere and help reinforce the feeling that the sport is actually worthy of travelling for to witness live.

Travelling to the likes of Poole for Northern clubs fans on a Wednesday isn't so practical, this is were BSN is beneficial. However, if fans who would normally travel within a certain distance to support their team stopped doing so en block because they have a BSN package purchased at a very low price per meeting then this would be detrimental to the sport.

Rumour mill was that because the TV money has currently been lost the BSPL are wanting a bigger slice of the BSN pie the result of which would be a lower payout for individual clubs at Championship level.
