Reliant Robin Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Perhaps if they hadnt changed the date from the 22nd more of the top riders would have been available It was never scheduled for 22nd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGE9359 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 It was according to the programme the last time I went there maybe that was wrong then I recall being surprised it was a Saturday night meeting at all as thats dog night at the stadium I hope it throws it down as I cant go on the 15th but I kept the 22nd clear - when is the restage date?

As cityrebel says, I understand they have arranged for Sunday 16th @ 17.00 in the event of a cancellation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massey Harris Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 What are Cov suppose to do ? Emil is not signed anymore Kennett is banned Larsen is injury ...the problem is not the clubs or the riders but the rubbish prize money or speedway engine put up for the winner ....put the prize money up then the riders might turn up and so might the crowd as long as it's not £25 of course . I'm strugglink to follow your logik, you want the prize money to go up and the admission price to come downk? Just how rubbish is the prize money and the value of the BIKE for the winner?

orion Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) I'm strugglink to follow your logik, you want the prize money to go up and the admission price to come downk? Just how rubbish is the prize money and the value of the BIKE for the winner? Well if 1000 people turn up and pay £25 that adds up to 25k if 3000 turn up and pay £15 because it's cheaper to get in thats adds up to 45k ...the logic is that you get better gate money by putting the admission down, then maybe they might think of making the prize money better and then maybe the riders might all turn up .

So you didn't know that the "engine" was in fact a complete bike and you clearly don't know how much the prize money is so come on where do you think the money comes from to pay the riders and provide the bike?

It's was a whole bike ? :shock: no wonder all the top riders are fighting to be in this event . Now we know it's a whole bike maybe put the price to £30 to get even less fans in :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Cheetah Snr Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 As usual supporters being treated like idiots. There is still no official price for this meeting. Super 7 site still showing TBC with only a week to go, and no mention of price on Swindon's site. Do the promoters really think that by not telling us how much it is, that people are just going to turn up and pay whatever they are asked as they are already there?

Its been CONFIRMED as £25 Adult, £20 Concession, 12-16 £5 and under 11's FREE. Theres an advert before I go on to the Birmingham site, I presume its like that on all the sites.
