Trees Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I agree our prog is terrible and the fans have been complaining all season! At least BV kept the Lynn prog and didn't give us some random one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 As I don't go to Lynn I have no idea of their programme or it's cost. However my gripe, and it's not just Belle Vue that do it, is being charged for a programme and then finding out it's an old one with an insert. You should be advised of that before purchase and then you have the choice to pay £3 or to just pay for an insert. I don't have any objections to a £2 charge for an insert if I am fully aware of what I'm buying. I do realise that out of date progs do cost promotions money but fleecing fans is not the best of business ideas when they are trying to increase the fan base. Completely agree and its something I have complained about elsewhere - indeed, I got done three days in a row by Edinburgh, Glasgow & Belle Vue (to be fair to Edinburgh, they at least made a bit of an effort). Perhaps the galling thing is I am sure I have read that promoters have been complaining about people using race sheets downloaded from the internet. They should look to their own practices first, because charging full price for a programme that is months old or is for another team with an insert added is a rip off, especially when I am aware that there is a considerable mark up on programmes. Make it half price or inform people that there is an insert first, otherwise it is nothing but a con. I only buy programmes because my mates granddaughter collects them and it maybe in the future I will stop doing so altogether as a result of this practice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Why aren't the promoters a little more imaginative and yes of course advertise the fact that they are selling us an old prog with an insert but also give out a raffle ticket for a free draw as a sweetner?

They're generally dull, crap and unimaginative. Had a good 15 minutes reading Pooles a few weeks ago - credit to Matt Ford his club produce a decent programme - I liked the fact they had a hero and a villain in all the match reports but Matt names was not mentioned as a villain!

Mr Blobby Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 . The problem is that will make him far more likely to stay in the PL as the amount of money I have heard he is on at Edinburgh is quite astonishing and he won't give that up for a few promises in Sweden or Poland. Don't know what you have heard but your way off the mark regarding wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Fever Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I agree our prog is terrible and the fans have been complaining all season! At least BV kept the Lynn prog and didn't give us some random one Don't really mind our 'prog' except that its really just a glorified race-card and should be a £1 to buy at most! I still usually buy one though as I like to have something 'proper' but the rest of the family are happy with internet race-cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifaxtiger Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Don't know what you have heard but your way off the mark regarding wages. I heard a lot, and I mean a lot. From a different source no figures were mentioned but best paid in the PL was. Pure hearsay, though. They're generally dull, crap and unimaginative. Had a good 15 minutes reading Pooles a few weeks ago - credit to Matt Ford his club produce a decent programme - I liked the fact they had a hero and a villain in all the match reports but Matt names was not mentioned as a villain! Scunny's £1 job does me - in fact, bearing in mind that its also got one of the best announcers and one of the best racing tracks its little wonder I have been there more than anywhere else.

jimmy jimmy Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Cookie has only been a speedway rider since 2009, give him a chance. His lower average may actually give him better opportunities to race abroad next year perversely. I am certain he has no intention of becoming the next Chris Neath, although I don't know who he is.
