Exactly and that's a major reason why the sport in the UK is shrinking.

I can see where you ate coming from but saying they can't afford to make it less just means they ultimately get less - eg £0

I think you were being tongue-in-cheek?  I don't think pricing is the issue at all regarding regular attendance. Promoters should be looking to make a nice profit. It's the evening itself and the marketing.  So many people go once or twice and never again.  The evening itself is not that entertaining/gripping, often out in the cold/wind/rain doing nothing but waiting for something to happen.

Quote from September 2025 , then nothing , would be interested to know what "hands off" would be like ? The 78-year-old is determined to play a hands-on role in boosting speedway’s visibility and believes the sport is poised for a major resurgence.

Better still, don’t use any of them and offer £15 entry with any number of kids free. Watching a Belle Vue team around the NSS at that pricing and we’d eventually see a big resurgence in the sport wouldn’t we?

Or get Eddie Kennett in for opening night then go with your plan match 2 to season end or Niki Pederson for another one of those awesome first corners.
