So, did I get your point, or not?

But my point was that an average is an average! I got your point about the new system being better: and I agree with you. However, you the proceeded to compare two averages for the same rider calculated with different methods, which is - by any stretch of the imagination - meaningless. P.S. Rolling average is merely terminology, it is still an average calculation. It is merely a different method of applying the mathmatical function.

So, you missed my point. Will people lower their budget, or maintain it and spend it on other things on their night out? Also, it would be interesting to analyse the number of people who just couldn't afford £14.50, but £10 makes it viable for them. Like I said, it is a very progressive move. It isn't a simple move to make either, it has a lot of potentially subtle effects. Have you grasped the fundamental mathematics of average yet? I spend £20 every meeting, so I either spend that on my admission, or half of it on my admission and the rest on programme and munchies. Do you get what I mean?

I wonder how many people are like myslef in that I have a budget for the evening and reduced admission prices are great, they mean I spend more on the extras, which is actually a very nice luxury to have. I often didn't have a burger, but with the reduced admission I will always have one as I do like a good burger. There will also be a number of people who a tenner makes going regular a reality. It's a very bold move, and it also looks to be a very astute move. Yet another first in PL speedway from a very progressive Promotion.

Hard to tell Paulco, but it was certainly a very good crowd. My gut feeling is that it made a big difference. I have my budget for each meeting in these tough times. So I just had more to spend on other things in the stadium. Got my tea there, saved "her indoors" a bit of cooking, and she still gets rid of me for an evening. It's a winner!

Did they not announce that they are doing the same for the Newcastle meeting?

Quite definitely miss.

I think it's always a great compliment when visiting fans praise our club. Some don't realise how lucky we are to have speedway at Berwick, never mind how much effort is put in to constantly improve the product. I get accused of being a bottom licker on here, but I genuinely enjoy Saturday nights, even when the result isn't what I wanted. It's great when there is a big away support (like tonight), it adds to the atmosphere, and glad to hear you enjoyed it. This is the attitude we need to make sure the sport survives at all clubs. Looking forward to a big away support next week from the Diamonds, who must fancy their chances. But, you just never know with our team this year!

A very accurate report on the meeting there. Saved me a lot of typing. Grieves's showed all his experience to keep Alden behind him in heat 13, rode very hard, and very fairly. It takes a lot to do that to Alden. The Bandit's backup places is where we fell down, and the Capital Monarchs took a well-deserved win. On a plus side for the Bandits, it looks as if the Promotions bold 31% drop in entrance fees paid off with a very good crowd. I spent my £4.50 on a splendid cheesburger, confectionery, and refreshment. Well done to the Monarchs, I didn't see that one coming.

Splendid capital confetti there, Taffy.

Schrammy is always great value. He was awesome throughout his season as a Bandit. Still a legend in Berwick

Superb result. It's been a very eventful season so far.

So, using the same logic, how come you consider yourself Welsh then?

Come on then Taffy, when did you play for England?

Peter is Scottish.

The Wee Man seen in Glasgow today: reportedly. Mark my works those ye with little faith in the BigEddieChek.

What? Represent your country at sport?

You're just jealous Taffy as you'll never achieve what I have

I think it is a very generous offer. It clearly worked on Wednesday evening, and - above all - it shows who the Promotion value most: tha fans. I'll get shouted down for being a brown noser here, but I'm just saying what I think. These guys have listened time and time again to what the fans what, and consistently deliver. It's a great goodwill gesture, very brave, and very progressive. It means I'll have an extra £4.50 to spend on pies and burgers, which is very important to me

No, I am just saying that you usually spout tripe. If it is a word-for-word quote that you posted, then I stand corrected and apologise. Although, I haven't seen any press releases that have mentioned that, I could - of course- have missed them.

Blue snow tonight, I actually agree with one of your posts. Nope, it has run out of argon.

Pretty nailed-on with your figures there Taffy. Well, just about nailed-on, maybe more than nailed on, or approximately nailed-on, or maybe even just your usual tripe?

Heard yet more rumours tonight. He's had a big cash-in with an investment, and thinks he can get Glasgow at knock-down price. Not quite straight from the horses mouth, buy certainly the nosebag. Looking forward to seeing the Wee Man back next year, if not sooner!

Why are some folk so upset that I would pay up to £20 to go to the speedway? Ahhhh, the wonders of social experimentation via the Internet. Anyway, what a cracking meeting, great turnout, splendid value for money, and a very convincing win with lots of passing. Best of all, no injuries! It was also announced that admission for the meeting against The Capital Monarchs on the 1st September will be £10. Tonight certainly proved that lower pricing was attractive to plenty of folk, and I think it is a great gesture of goodwill to people who are finding things tight, but obviously want a night out at the speedway. Once again, the Promotion are working very hard to give the fans what they want. One has to take one's hat off to them.

I said nothing about purchasing the club, I'm not made of money either: but, I would pay up £20 (including programme) on Saturdays. P.S. Not seen any pheasants, do you mean the seagulls?
