Just as an aside but all team members pay to get in just like any other 'normal' fan. We do not receive concessions, free entry or anything like that...we are just normal fans who happen to take a phone along with us and text another fan sitting at a computer whilst we are there. Speedway Updates is not affiliated with any organising body, nor the promoting teams at any track, we are just normal people doing a voluntary service for other fans. The opinions expressed in an update is just that, an opinion, just like a conversation you would have with the group you are sitting with....I usually get around the thorny issue of stating what a track is like by either not mentioning it at all or if pushed, saying I am not a rider so would not have a clue how it is going to ride (unless it is obviously tricky and riders appear to be struggling/are moaning etc). We do try to be as professional as possible but as we rely on normal fans who are going to meetings to text (or update), sometimes the odd biased or jokey comment will come through.

Next year, no matter what, I WILL be going! Been far too long since I last went and although it will be more difficult to arrange (have to consider a wheelchair and fatigue now), even if I have to get on the one day coach, I am blooming well going!

James is 21 this October, so not that long ago. Ipswich this season 5 and under - free Junior 6-15 - £4 Student (with proof and only up to age 22) £13 Adult - £16

James loved going to speedway and never missed a meeting...until he hit 16 and had to pay full adult rate. At the time, he had only just started his last compulsory year at school so was unable to have a student card as he was too young and couldn't get a full time job as he was still full time in compulsory education. Since then, he has been to 1 meeting....it became unaffordable to him and now when he could afford it a little better, he has moved away for Uni and there is not a track within easy reach. Middle son also loved going to speedway and also never missed a meeting...untill he too hit 16 and had to pay full adult rate. Unfortunately, he was also one of the oldest in his year group (like James) and had also only just started the last year of GCSEs. He also had the same issue as James in that it would be almost a full year until he could get a student card and then gain student admission. Just like James, he has now stopped going to speedway as it has become unaffordable. Youngest son liked speedway for a while but just couldn't cope with the people or the noise....apart from when he was at Peterborough, he loved that place. In my view, the prices and the ages when the changes in price come in are all wrong. Students now have to stay in education until they are 18 and there is also that awkward gap between the child rate and when they can get a student card to qualify for student rate..and by the time they get that card, they have found other things to do or just can't afford to pay even the student rate on Saturday job earnings (middle son cannot work after school due to the amount of extra curricular activities he has to do in relation to his A levels) In just a few short years, our group went from about 7 of us on a regular basis (including my 3 children), to just two of us.
