    Their first fixture is against Ipswich - several might be tempted to attend, especially locals to see what it's all about, so I do hope that they will have tried out the staring gate, lights, the track equipment, the surface etc. etc. beforehand because issues at that first event will kill off early enthusiasm.

    Not for me if it's mushroom, otherwise count me in! Thinking about it, it's highly likely to be given the number of mushrooms there are amongst the BSPL 🙂

    This is the thing none of the promoters come together on and so it doesn't happen. A lower entry price will not bring large crowds back, an enjoyable experience at the meeting and aligned marketing could.
  4. SPEEDY69
    Exactly and that's a major reason why the sport in the UK is shrinking.
  5. SPEEDY69
    I think you were being tongue-in-cheek? I don't think pricing is the issue at all regarding regular attendance. Promoters should be looking to make a nice profit. It's the evening itself and the marketing. So many people go once or twice and never again. The evening itself is not that entertaining/gripping, often out in the cold/wind/rain doing nothing but waiting for something to happen.

    One of his shows, Shed and Buried, featured a Jawa speedway bike and Allen Millyard rode it around field saying how powerful it was. That was good publicity I think but I didn't see any use of that made by any speedway clubs/organisations.
  7. SPEEDY69
    Not the cost for us, the wealth of the club! I'm sure speedway clubs would love to be in the position to offer admission at £10 but they're not. Nor are the majority council subsidised.
  8. SPEEDY69
    Can't really compare though as they have so much more budget/disposable income.
  9. SPEEDY69
    Shame, only rode there once but it seemed a nice little track.

    He's the BSPLs legal advisor
  11. SPEEDY69
    He could do with a partner presenter to engage those younger than 60.
  12. SPEEDY69
    People like the feeling of power they have😆
  13. SPEEDY69
    My guess would be Matt Ford.
  14. SPEEDY69
    That could all be done in less than a day so is not much of a barrier.
  15. SPEEDY69
    Big shoes to fill - the presentation can be the make or break for people turning up.
