Shadders Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Bl**dy weather, lovely sunny late afternoon now, might as well just crack open a tinny and slob out in front of the TV Sun is blazing down over North London. We had a really heavy shower about 90 minutes ago, but I reckon they could've sorted the track out in time for a 7.30pm start if they really wanted to. I shouldn't think they were desperate to get this on with the injury situation and a few free Saturdays ahead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFTGNigel Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I've just noticed that this has been made a double-header with the Glasgow Tigers fixture on July 20th. Â If I can ask a dim newbie question as I've never been to one, how does a club run a double-header in terms of times, ticket prices etc.?

No reductions for part meetings, 2nd match only etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 26, 2013 Report Share Posted June 26, 2013 at todays prices £20 is good value for a PL double header. whether the rockets team and track can stand up to the rigours of 30 heats of racing is another matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. £20 is excellent value. My first ever live speedway meeting was a double header at Rye House, v Poole & Edinburgh in 1985 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember Woffy Snr breaking a collarbone in the Poole match? His second ride I think. Remember we lost 38-40 to eventual champions Poole, but we hammered Edinburgh (including a young Mark Burrows) by 30 odd. Silver, Garrad, Mullarkey, Woffinden, Stevens, Rolls, Brice. Think that was the line up. The programme is somewhere in the garage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
