Shalewhale Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I love Sheffield as racetrack and its a great stadium, but to be honest they can get bent for £20. ***Waits for a certain someone to tells what good value it is really.........*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I really want to be positive about these events as they have listened to the fans. But its a regular thursday night with work on a Friday and the gates open at 5.30pm. So no point going if you want a view and have to work first. £20 is a lot and it doesnt please me but its what I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really can't see how its going to increase attendances across any of the events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually go to this event, but no way can we make it on a Thursday! Still, at £20 per ticket, plus petrol from Bournemouth, just as well!

crazysue Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 For once I am not shocked by the price, with one adult, one child over 12 and the other 2 under, it actually is quite reasonable to go. £25 for all of us to go, not bad at all. Not too sure on the night but as it is school holidays and in the evening it shouldn't be too hard to go and also gives the option of staying in a roadside hotel and a gentle amble back on the Friday. I agree for those working though it does make it difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuzieQ Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 SHEFFIELD THURSDAY NIGHT well that is so easy to get to! two days off work, night in hotel, and carry my own petrol pump with me! Hmmmmmmmm! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob B Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 They want to get big crowds for these events but hold them at a neutral venue, to have it on a Thursday is ridiculous, £20 won't help either. Won't be many people there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another fine example of our friends at the BSPA trying too hard and messing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbit Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 At least that was on a Sunday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupus Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 AS I said on the other thread - riding it on a Thursday gives the riders less 'excuses' to miss the meeting - no 'we were stuck in Poland' or 'it's the day after a GP etc etc! What the hell - if people want to ge they can have an afternoon off work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzman Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I'll be there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted February 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Lupus has a good point. (Did I say that!!) Im not happy its on a Thursday night but I need to weigh up before I commit to going- Sunday and not all the top riders present or Thursday and a line up to make your mouth water. And at least we have been given dates as to when the line ups will be announced as well. A lot of transparancy this year which helps.

tyke Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Hope its fantastic weather and the back straight is open.I for one looking forward to seeing top elite league stars on a track they can race on ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21st century heathen Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I won't be going, but as I said on the pairs thread it's a good shout to have a neutral venue. It should be shifted to a weekend or Bank Holiday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spin king Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I would like to wish all Elite League supporters to Sheffield Speedway for this meeting, all will be given a warm welcome, and enjoy the top riders in league blasting it out around the fastest track in British Speedway.

SpeedwayTShirts Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Can't wait for this one, went to Shaun Wilson's Testimonial last year but with D.J'ing on a Thursday didn't catch any more meetings last season. Sheffield is still without a doubt the Best Race Track in the Country, and I've booked the night off especially. Probably one of the few meetings we'll catch this season except for Cardiff, Copenhagen and Malilla. We've been made surplus to requirements at Coventry this year Presentation wise so hopefully catch up with all the Bees Fans at some of the away matches as I've taken on a new residency for Fridays now! Just a mention if the back straight is open make sure you want to stay on it as when we went over for Shaun's testimonial once you were in you couldn't leave to go back over to main stand area. And when it rains there's no cover so you get P**s Wet Through. Anyway all the Best for 2007 Catch you soon Bart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh great! I hope they have got a good replacement standing by because you will be a hard act to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full-throttle Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 not a problem here, once the line up is announced i'll decide wether to take a days leave or not.....simple really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
