Fromafar Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Fair enough,compared to other PL clubs they are about average,it bound to be difficult to set a price low enough to attract people through the gate,but not low enough where the promotion are losing money hand over fist. Also from reading last nights programme it looks as though we may be looking for a new team sponsor for next season.

bigeddiechek Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 I personaly think that the admission prices are to high in this economic climate. I wonder how many people are like myslef in that I have a budget for the evening and reduced admission prices are great, they mean I spend more on the extras, which is actually a very nice luxury to have. I often didn't have a burger, but with the reduced admission I will always have one as I do like a good burger. There will also be a number of people who a tenner makes going regular a reality. It's a very bold move, and it also looks to be a very astute move. Yet another first in PL speedway from a very progressive Promotion.

I think in Berwicks case they have a lot of support that travel from the Borders and surrounding areas so the reduction will make significant difference if they have a budget for their nights out.

emilali Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 My remark regarding admission is about Speedway in General. I agree with you, speedway is across the board massively over priced for what you actually get. Hopefully these reduced admission ideas get some new fans along and tempt a few old ones to return.

bigeddiechek Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) I think in Berwicks case they have a lot of support that travel from the Borders and surrounding areas so the reduction will make significant difference if they have a budget for their nights out. So, you missed my point. Will people lower their budget, or maintain it and spend it on other things on their night out? Also, it would be interesting to analyse the number of people who just couldn't afford £14.50, but £10 makes it viable for them. Like I said, it is a very progressive move. It isn't a simple move to make either, it has a lot of potentially subtle effects. Have you grasped the fundamental mathematics of average yet? Doesnt make any difference to you,your paying £20. I spend £20 every meeting, so I either spend that on my admission, or half of it on my admission and the rest on programme and munchies. Do you get what I mean?

Regarding averages Ithink you should listen to the point I was trying make regarding averages before telling me an average is an average, which is something I already know.Now a rolling avearage that is something different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigeddiechek Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) But my point was that an average is an average! I got your point about the new system being better: and I agree with you. However, you the proceeded to compare two averages for the same rider calculated with different methods, which is - by any stretch of the imagination - meaningless. P.S. Rolling average is merely terminology, it is still an average calculation. It is merely a different method of applying the mathmatical function.

Catch Me If You Can Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 the only hog that got roasted was berwicks To be honest I normally enjoy my trips to Berwick as I often get football and speedway. Saturday night past was not one of those enjoyable trips. I was at Sheffield and saw a great Berwick performace, but v Edinburgh it was chronic, Alden and Dyer apart.No disrespect to Edinburgh who deserved to win but in all honesty they are no Somerset or Ipswich, they are an average run of the mill Premier League team who should have been blasted off the track! On that performance Berwick probably would have struggled to beat a National League team! One or two of them on Saturday need to take a good hard look at themselves.

Berwick were poor,but I think your being a bit harsh on Edinburgh.They have every chance of making a play-off place and fully deserved their win.As you say apart from Alden and to a lesser extent Dyer,the rest had poor nights and a two man team doesnt win meetings.

Yes Edinburgh deserved their win but Berwick would not have beaten Plymouth either on Saturday. Monarchs are a decent middle of table team who should be meat and 2 veg to Berwick at home.

Monarchs are a decent middle of table team who should be meat and 2 veg to Berwick at home. Bear in monarchs have won at Sheffield and pushed Leicester and Somerset close on their own patches. Berwick have not wiped the floor with monarchs at home once this year, monarchs are full of guys who ride well on their day down there. Grievesy replicated roughly what cook would have scored and had Tabaka been fit monarchs would be even stronger. Edinburgh are no pushovers, and could if we get our guys on track be contenders come the play offs of they can sneak in. Yes Berwick do miss a rider of Ashworths class and Seb can't be a one man team. But this current Berwick team are not like teams of old they ate built to do well home and away so the compromise is that they won't be as strong at home and took my hits never showed up for bandits last night! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricca Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 you are right mc1874 there was no way berwick were going to take us apart,think it is sour grapes from catch me if you can, monarchs are decent team and can make the play offs.

Will make the play-offs . Solving the reserve problem is the biggest task your promotion has now . Had Tabaka stayed fit , you might have been looking at your 4th title in 10 years .

bigeddiechek Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 It was never going to be an easy meeting with the likes of Grieves, Tully, Pijper, Wethers, and Sneddon in your team. I did think we would get the win, but never thought it was going to be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
