Sandie Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 (edited) No price announced as yet but I will see if I can find out for you this week. Poole did have to "buy" the meeting from the BSPA with a bid. That is the same every year Steve with every out of season meeting. As I mentioned in another post - you have to buy the licence which covers all the out of season insurances etc which are only covered in a March - October season Edited December 1, 2008 by Sandie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbit Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 £16 ! and a yo ho ho and i thought they were not letting ronnie biggs out at christmas  No real surprise to be honest - I'm sure NYC at Newport was £15 last time I went (although I do suffer from brainfade these days ) so I'd say this was comparable.

Steve Shovlar Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 And when you consider Poole had to pay to run it, makes it a fairly good deal. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandie Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 And when you consider Poole had to pay to run it, makes it a fairly good deal. Steve You keep making this point that Poole had to pay for the meeting but as I have said a couple of times - that is not unusual, its an out of season meting and whether it be Poole, Newport, Telford or Brighton - they must be paid for. Â Have I missed something - are you trying to make another point??? Â And for what its worth the prices are about as expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Bee Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 15 quid for Newport and this already appears to be a better line-up. No complaints here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if Poole wanted it and had to bat the opposition, then they had to put in a good bid. It is irrelevant that Poole were the only ones to bid. they could have got it for 50p but may have bid thousands. I have no idea. but newport had a free reign before so their bid would have been minimal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 The money I save on paying the toll will more than cover the extra pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seb the Snail Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) Good point well made, Matt. It's £5.30 at the moment and will no doubt go up again on January 1st.  I've always wondered why you have to pay to get into Wales anyway. I'd gladly pay twice as much to get back out again.  The line up doesn't look too bad at this stage. I could well be tempted if Pints or Points is shipping the beers in.
