Shadders Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 I was just pointing out that Lakeside have a student / concession rate where as Rye don't. Some enlightened promotions even offer a family ticket. I know for sure that Leicester do as discovered a couple of weeks ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martin_t Posted May 8, 2011 Report Share Posted May 8, 2011 It is 3rd rate speedway full of kids and has beens, anything over £9 is a disgrace. I disagree..here`s a kid and a `has been` well worth the £10 admission http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQNAgUzjz4Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben91 Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 The National League is a fantastic product. The racing can be as good or even better than that served up in the Elite and Premier Leagues. There is no doubts about that. The problem is a lot of fans see it as a reserve level of racing. The Hackney name is clearly not working to bring fans through the gates at the moment, whether that is because of the price, the lack of interest in a team not racing under the Rye House/Lakeside banners or a combination of both, who knows. One thing is for certain, the promotion cannot be breaking even for Hawks meetings at Rye House, so to lower the admission price to £7/8 would be a gamble worth taking in my opinion, it would probably pay off, whilst the riders would be racing in front of a bigger crowd which can only be good for them. Promoters need to promote, taking an extra £1/2 from your existing fans each year to make your profit is not acceptable and alienates the supporters who are being made to pay the extra money.
