Multiply by just 10 and that's £7000... Same here... I've been "flying solo" since the 2018 season 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been "flying solo" since the 2018 season Me too, since around 15 years ago when he got to the stage that standing around, or sitting down, plus the walking, for any length of time got too much.. He stopped and then I gradually did as I realised I often just went because he wanted to... It wasnt until a few years ago he mentioned he only kept attending for several years because he thought I wanted to!!!... As he said in his broad Cork accent... "It was usually a right load of crap!".... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first Aces match no Kurtz & Blodorn The second Aces match no Blodorn, Kildermand & Bewley The second Lions match no Dan Thompson Where's the incentive to attend? Imagine if you bought a luxury car for say 30k. Then they removed the electric windows, the air conditioning and stereo and still tried to flog it for 30k. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you know usually two days in advance, and even up to setting off time, that "all of a sudden" one of the main riders wont be there... And often, not because he is injured... So much to unpick for the sport to be even remotely a success going forwards... Probably far too much now I would suggest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
