  1. Unfortunately with travelling costs getting more expensive it could just have a bearing ,with Berwick in particular have a lot of fans from outlying district.Still there is nothing been said regarding admission prices this season,simply a person asking question.!
  2. I really admire what the present Promotion have done for the sport,but they are sending out some confusing statements regarding finances,on the one hand they are saying they have really good Sponsers financing signing on fees,there crowds look better than most tracks Visited last season yet they are not good enough to prevent financial losses over season,so you would have to question what kind of money they pay riders/ meeting ,every other club must be in serious difficulties.Strange!
  3. He is too busy tuning the guitar the last couple of seasons to worry about admission costs
  4. Bomber probably looking for an NL Team place now so as he “can make it pay”
  5. Its the standard reply to “ where does the money come from”.
  6. This is the trouble with the sport nowadays,they should not have to rely on extra donations from fans to keep afloat.The AGM for me done nothing to help reduce costs in the sport or the way it is run.Promotions are still single minded paying out more money than income.It going to come to sticky end IMO.Value for money is debatable nowadays.Riders still seem to have the upper hand as Full Time Professionals it can’t go on forever at this level in the sport.Berwick admission prices last season were Acceptable but some other clubs were not IMO.
  7. Its nothing new riders not getting their money on time,whether they get all that is owed to them is a different matter, I know of a rider who only went back to a club the next season because it was his best chance of getting the money he was owed from previous season,and I’d bet there were a few others in the same boat with various clubs throughout the years.
  8. Don’t think both Wells and Riss will be at Edinburgh,1 maybe.
  9. Think you will get the “golden oldies” that are not at Berwick.
  10. That’s a poor looking Team IMO,think they will have stronger line up than that.
  11. Or more in 1 case, if you did not book in advance.
  12. I reacted to the Post that said 2 / 2pt riders is sheer folly.
  13. Think Berwick and Workington proved to most Teams last year that 2 pt reserves doesn’t work.The different points limit might make difference this season though.
  14. They all seem to be able to keep on riding though.
  15. We are in the minority ,but I agree Averages are killing the sport in GB.
  16. Can’t see Starke improving much been about awhile now.
  17. Will not any GB team be products of third tier though,you have got to start somewhere
  18. So have a number of clubs unfortunately they have financial issues too.
  19. There seems to very little value in season tickets nowadays probably due to number of fixtures in a season nowadays.
  20. Is he passing through on the way to Edinburgh or Glasgow
