Van Helsing Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Taken from Official Glasgow Website: Glasgow Speedway will be slashing admission prices for their Premier League encounter against the Sheffield Tigers on Sunday September 2nd in a bid to get Ashfield Stadium bursting to capacity for what promises to be another fiesty affair between the two Tigers teams. Co-promoter Stewart Dickson said: “We understand that money is tight for most people in this current climate, so we are asking our supporters to spread the word to speedway fans new and old, friends and family, colleagues and customers. Lets get Ashfield Stadium packed for what we will hope will become known as “Sell Out Sunday”. Adults: £10 Concessions: £10 Children Aged 12-15 years: £5 We will be operating a “Kids for a Quid” scheme (12 years and under) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin king Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hats off to the Glasgow Promotion, and lets hope it is a success. Proves even though the present Promotion is looking to sell the club on they are still committed to the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaramanga Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 this should be tried at all grounds a few have tried promotions recently if you get more in by cutting the gate price then it has to be good for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) Great point.....1000 fans paying 15 pounds vs 2000 fans paying 10 pounds Not a great point, as it doesn't work like that. Let's just charge £1 and therefore lock some fans out. Edited August 21, 2012 by Tsunami Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a big risk what if they get the same old fans and then lose out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Its a big risk what if they get the same old fans and then lose out So true, but worth the gamble, provided that it's been publicised and enough non-attenders know about it. One week's publicity may not be sufficient is my fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 1, 2012 Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Big warm welcome to Mad Machin and his Yorkshire Tigers in tomorrow's cut price speedway extravaganza . With Sheffield being the only place we've won away all season , obviously we had to offer cut price admission to try and tempt folk along to the expected mauling . With our play-off chances all but gone now , only pride is left at stake tomorrow . But with last season's greeting and moaning still fresh in the memory , we'll be keen to send the inferior Tigers back down to the Dales with their tails between their legs . Shame Joe Haines is injured again , because he's been a popular guest at the Veladrome this year , whether it's been for us or against us . Teams for tomorrow's spectacular for a tenner are - Glasgow 1 Joe Screen 2 Mason Campton 3 Josh Grajczonek 4 Henning Bager 5 James Grieves 6 Charles Wright 7 Filip Sitera Sheffield 1 Josef Franc 2 Hugh Skidmore 3 r/r for Sanchez 4 Richard Hall 5 Ricky Wells 6 Chris Schramm 7 Adam McKinna Weather forecast looks fine for tomorrow , so they're be no rain off / sun off / anything off tomorrow . Any Sheffield fan fancying to make the trip up can do so with confidence this time , but not of a win of course . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulco Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Weather brightning up nicely . So no excuses not to get to the track today , it's only a tenner and for that you get to enjoy the majesty of Joe Screen . The excellence of James Grieves and Josh Grajczonek . The enthusiasm of Henning Bager after he wins a race , the exciting potential of young Mason Campton and the 100% effort from our reserves Charles Wright and Filip Sitera . People are friendly and the beer is reasonably priced . So what more could one want to spend an enjoyable Sunday afternoon . Who the hell wants to pay £16 to sit through Rangers v Elgin ?, who in their right mind wants to be among a lot of DIY weirdos in B&Q ? , there's absolutely nothing decent on in our over-priced cinemas . It's maybe a bit chilly for down the coast and Newcastle v Aston Villa on SKY will be crap . So what realistic alternative can their possibly be ? get yourselves to Ashfield . 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKY are ignoring the delights of Newcastle v Aston Villa,instead they plumping for Southampton v Man Utd,even more of a reason to get your backside trackside up at Ashfield.

MD Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Definitely not the best meeting today but a win all the same. Sheffield petered out when the excellent Wells started to fade although the hard working Schramm at reserve featured in a few decent races. For once Josh was on the money after a relatively poor spell though Sitera was truely awful being beaten twice by McKinna. The reduced entry didn't temp the masses but did look better than previous weeks against not the most fancied opposition. Berwick next week in out final home PL match, then who knows after that!

Aye not a pulsating cliff hanger , but enjoyable enough . Grajczonek was brilliant today , especially the race he sat behind Wright and kept Schramm behind him . Grievesy topped off a profitable 4 days with another superb display . Sheffield were well served by the EL Wells and Franc , when he gated . Hall and Skidmore were disappointing though . Not a huge improvement on the crowd as you say , but then Rangers were playing at Ibrox this afternoon . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Food for thought on admission prices. Hopefully the sale of the club goes through sooner rather than later. If the uncertainty continues into the winter our decent riders like Screen, Josh etc will look elsewhere for a home track in my opinion. Screen's programme notes today touched on the unknown future. There may also be the issue of a new promotion being an unknown quantity and riders being less willing to come. Hopefully we will have a positive outcome soon.
