I'm not sure it is. We'd all like to be paying less obviously, but compared to EL prices i think Ipswich have pitched it about right. Most EL clubs are charging £17 with a lot charging £1 for the car park.

 

Ipswich at £15.50 with free car parking for PL is not unreasonable in comparison imo.

Trouble is they dont do a family ticket, costs me £20 less to watch P'boro, the racing is much better, i can sit in a covered grandstand and be home almost as quick. Presentation at Foxhall is so slow you wonder if the riders have gone home sometimes. Its all about value for money... :cheers:

But Ipswich don't ride at Peterborough, they ride at Foxhall. I can never really understand your type of thinking. I come from Ipswich, and Ipswich is my team so I support them.

 

Would I prefer Ipswich to be in the EL? Most definitely. But they're not so I go and watch them in the PL instead. I'm with you that I prefer to watch Elite League racing than Premier League, but only if my team is in it.

 

I certainly wouldn't travel to watch a team I don't support on a regular basis be it EL or not. I get far more satisfaction watching my team at Foxhall and get much more emotionally involved than i would watching a team i didn't have any affiliation with.

 

But each to their own!

I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but I believe Leicester is more than that, with the standard of racing there I wouldn't even pay £10.

 

Once was enough

 

Leicester's prices are:-

  • Adults (16 years & above): £15.00
  • Over 65′s: £13.00
  • Children (aged 10 to under 16): £5.00
  • Children (under 10): FREE
  • Family (2 adults & 2 children): £30.00

It costs as much for me to watch Premier League racing at Leicester as it does at Coventry to watch Elite League. I won't comment on your other remark but I only went once last season as well. Hopefully when the track is altered in February the racing will be better.

Completely understand your views, however we just enjoy speedway and P'boro is where we enjoy the sport the most. Thats not to say we dont go to Foxhall ....

The £17 I can live with, what I will not do though is travel 60 miles around trip if there is the slightest chance of it being rained off. I am not going to risk 15 quids worth of petrol for nothing.

This seems to be the problem with everything we do nowadays.The price of oil seems to control the prices of almost everything.

£40 of fuel for me and I wont be supporting the team, more like the rider!

So the lower the better for entry fee! Wonder if I can pull off OAP rates yet?
