Pardon my lack of Speedway nous......but does that figure include paying for the visitors points scored in the meeting? Or does a home gate income need to pay for the 'home teams' corresponding away meeting costs?

Your maths bit out there marra.... 1/3 of 750 = 250 x £11 = £2750.......plus remaining 500 x £15 = £7500. £2750 + £7500 = £10250. Just couldn't resist saying ok ......figures still don't add up to a speedway utopia for anyone.

Even my optimistic 800/900 isn't going to cover that outgoing then is it? And it must be awful for those promoting the Comets.....hope they manage tho. It's a great sport but sadly the general public have in the main lost interest in it........Possibly one Division looms for 2019? Is there any club, in all 3 divisions, running at a good profit......? I'll answer that myself in that I can't think of any club not struggling.

Yep... "Really????" re exodus at heat 15, same thing happens at 'final hooter' of Town match.......but not sure re 'guesstimate'......but certainly more than 400 though.

Never been any different.....some people still seem to think they will be stuck in traffic so make a dash to avoid that....it would be very nice to see traffic galore nowadays lol...although I did think it was a decent turnout last night.....something around 800/900 being my guesstimate ????

Thanks a lot....I enjoy the banter, keep it going marra.....And I did think the crowd wasn't too bad on Saturday...in fact as I was parking nr. the grandstand I heard the car park attendants shouting "no more room turn them back"...although presumably our friends from over the border will claim it was there input creating such a good turnout....???

Enjoy reading all the Comets craic....don't add much at all. Did think there was a decent attendance on Saturday though. BUT can I , dare I, ok I will ask a big favour.....so here goes.....is there any chance 'Jenga' of you possibly reducing all of that typed stuff on your profile pls....it only needs a couple of remarks by you and my laptop page is almost filled...thanks in anticipation......

The coffee was so hot at the Rugby League match on Sunday it blistered my top lip......didn't stop me shouting 'Town' home tho.

I see the headline...'Replying to Next Season..promotion and Relegation'. And I couldn't help but wonder if there will actually be enough speedway teams left to accept this idea anyway.??? I mean how many of the current crop are going to survive after this season? I was reliably informed that my team had an attendance of 349 last Saturday.....there must be alarm bells ringing regarding that figure. And who knows how many other clubs have similar headaches to ponder over? Plymouth for sure, Redcar ?, Scunthorpe? others ?, and watching a video of a recent Rye House meeting the track terracing had more heaps of rubble around it than speccies. However that then makes it an ideal situation for using one league only...no promotion/relegation...then the doubling up would be kicked out, and a more varied fixture list would surely prove a bigger attraction.? Speedway is a fantastic sport and will hopefully recover from the current downward spiral.....but promotion/relegation is not a good answer. The formation of one large league, for now, is better for the future well being of the sport.
