NeilWatson Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Expensive for national league meeting. No wonder supporters don't turn up now a days. £15 for a 24-heat NL shared-event meeting is expensive?

Heathen1984 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 I knew that was coming for 24 heats. So predictable. Yeh still expensive. It's national league speedway. Shouldn't be that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTM Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Don,t think there are many sporting venues where you will pay only 62.5 pence per race to watch live .Ok I know people have to travel but you have to do that for most sports you need to eat so take your own food and drink your not stopped from taking it in Every thing you attend nowadays is expensive but if you think 62.5 p is overpriced I doubt if you will ever get to see any live big events again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spent almost 4 hours at Brandon watching 29 heats of 4 riders going round a track. All they after is your money, they don't appear to care less about providing entertainment. Don't do it - instead watch the omnibus edition of Eastenders on the BBC - at least then you can fall asleep in comfort of an armchair.  Happy days £15 for a 24-heat NL shared-event meeting is expensive? yes !

mdmc82 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 £15 for a 24-heat NL shared-event meeting is expensive? Think it's really good value. Went to the storm double header tonight and really enjoyed it. Great value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Â Are you Mick or Neil ? No, just a fan of Coventry speedway. Problem is people want something for nothing these days. Â Compared to some football matches I have been to that you pay 4 times this price to watch 90 mins of no goals, this is great value. Â Good to support our young British riders 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to some football matches I have been to that you pay 4 times this price to watch 90 mins of no goals, this is great value. Good to support our young British riders I ain't got a problem with support of the young British riders - have watched the Storm in the pits and the way they gel and interact together is amazing - have had the pleasure of chatting with Stefan and Olly and are both fantastic examples with which I wish some of the senior riders could match. My "beef" is with the speedway hierarchy and included in that is their ability and willingness to provide a package which is suitable (and safe) for the riders and also the paying punters on a consistent basis ! Â Another footnote - great to see Adam Roynon tonight. Feel for the guy so much, he must be one of the unluckiest riders in British speedway, but admire his passion and desire to return. Despite the numerous injuries he suffered, I still believe he will have something to offer in 2015, this in whatever level of the sport he chooses. Â Happy days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 25, 2014 Report Share Posted July 25, 2014 Agree, always great to see Adam Roynon. He is a great lad and always shows commitment to Coventry both on and off track. Hope he has better year next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Coventry favourite with home track advantage. Hardly when track is never the same 2 weeks running and so many riders enjoy riding it. Â Although Coventry have beaten Cradley at Brandon this year, I still think with Cradleys line up they will win it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathen1984 Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 I feel cradleys top four are better but home track advantage will make them slight favourites. Clegg and and Perry got poor scores last time we were there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
