Are people surprised?
Fans being charged to watch a professional sport when even at the highest level in the UK, its an amateur sport these days.
Will only get worse as well. Time to knock team speedway on the head and change to grasstrack style events.
Exactly what i mean - its ok if you want to tune in and watch your side away racing , but as a home supporter every week youd be better of paying to go every week.
Really?
The sport in many peoples eyes, in person, is a ten quid sport. So to sit at home and watch it , a fiver is hardly un reasonable.
Your telling me watching 15 heats of speedway in an empty stadium in the second tier of probably the 4th or even 5th ranked country for speedway is more than a fiver?! Do me a favour.
If Brum offered to change the date and Berwick said no then this is a lovely bit of justice for the Brummies.
Even with the clearly weaker championship line ups across the board, this Berwick side looks poor.
well done Birmingham and its not very often I will say it but Laurence Rogers
But people year on year pay in huge numbers to go.
Speedway would love to have that many fans through the gates even if they all paid 20pence each to get in.
Importing foreigners certainly worked at Newport for the first few years at least , we had Iversen, Henriksson, Watson , even Korneliussen could be classed as a success story. But in years to follow we also ended up with Vedel, Kujawa, Mroz etc so that balanced it out.
but agree with Najjer that now is the time to back the Brits.
