At the moment it doesn't look like we will be going to this, too much expense after our main holiday and Prague GP....shame really, never been to Swindon.

For £22 I'd expect a seat and a decent view!

 

Not standing at the top of a grass bank exposed to all weathers and appalling toilets.

 

Have you noticed that the Swedish round is about £12 to stand!?

 

With the meeting being on Sky many will opt to watch it on tele, the crowd will be sparse and look crap. They keep banging on about speedway being a family sport, where's a family ticket or heavy discounts for kids, you are not talking about kids taking up expensive seats at a place like Swindon.

 

Surely with prices closer to Elite league prices and help for families there would have been a much bigger crowd which not only looks better for the tv it would cover the difference in the gate receipts.

 

As usual very shortsighted by those concerned.

 

This is a qualifying round with potentially one very weak side, not the World Team Final.....pass the remote control!!

I think £22 is a wrip off. It was expensive last year at Poole but I prefer their stadium to Swindon and also as Poole held the race-off and the final at least you could save money if you purchased both tickets. I don't think Swindon will get a very good crowd for that meeting with that price and with it being televised - we don't even know yet if Team GB will be racing in that meeting do we??

I'd have thought the odds will be stacked in favour of Team GB being drawn/seeded to the Swindon meeting and Sweden to the Eskilstuna meeting.

 

Yes that makes sense Kevin, least both meetings that way which attract extra fans
