All clubs should be doing stuff like this, fair play to the promotion.

But still the same ridiculous price!!

That won’t affect what TNT do this season as the deal will need to be ratified by the US government and will still take some time to conclude. Hopefully it might be cheaper than TNT but I doubt it will change the thinking of major broadcasters to speedway in Britain.

Arenacross is held in an arena and supercross is held in a stadium.

Tyson Fury keeps saying he’s quitting aswell. Believe it when I see it.

I paid just under £50 last night, there were cheaper tickets available and also some more expensive. You could get a family ticket for £100. They also do numerous VIP upgrades and you can also buy a track walk package.

I went aswell and it really is an entertaining and enjoyable show, it’s non stop and the 3 hours go so quickly. Thought Dan was playing quite it safe when he had other riders around him but put in a good performance in his second ride.

I’m not sure now that a national marketing campaign would do much good, I think clubs need to market better in the local area to get back lost fans. My local track is Oxford, now when I buy a ticket I need to input my email address. I have never received any email from them advising me of what meetings are coming up or asking me how my experience was. They must have thousands of email addresses that they could reach out too and have so many potential customers they could contact in one easy way with offers to get them to attend again. I will say the information they supply on the WhatsApp group is very good though.

Six days apart which was the norm at Oxford due to the running in both the premiership and championship. I doubt very much the meeting being shown on BSN would have made up the difference in attendance between the two meetings. The so called big names don’t really draw people in anymore, I expect if you asked people in Manchester who Brady Kurtz is nearly everybody wouldn’t have a clue. Belle Vue have two of the best riders in the world but when looking at the empty seats on the tv matches they are hardly drawing the punters in.

Not always, went to Oxford v Belle Vue last season and the crowd was awful. Next match was against Plymouth and the crowd was much bigger.

Cook was more of a problem than Boughen. How you can blame a RS for Kings Lynn’s lack of success last season is a ridiculous statement. I’m sure you won’t be blaming Cairns if Belle Vue don’t win anything.

Oxford did that in 1989 aswell.

I don’t think anyone genuine speedway fan will be disappointed if speedway stays on in the Poole area even if they don’t like the team. As soon as people hear the name Clark Osbourne they are then genuinely worried for that club. The man is a cancer to the sport and a habitual liar to speedway fans and promotions.

Tbf when Dan signed up to race the Arenacross series this year I thought he was using it as practice for Foxhall!

Fair play to Poole they have put together the strongest team. As long as they don’t have any major injuries especially to the reserves they will take some beating. Big favourites to clean up but whoever signed Cooper was going to be.
