At least the track staff and sheeters do something to earn/ justify it though.... Its quite a task to sheet the dog track and remove it afterwards.. Now the air fence will take a while aswell

 

Quite a few do not, or didnt though...For years and years lol.

Yeah, cos without them, none of us have anything to watch. Too many people forget the 'behind the scenes' people who support everyone in their everyday lives, let alone those who 'merely' allow us to watch our favourite sport. But I bet there are more than a few getting into Brough on their shirt-tails right {or wrongly} enough.

aye I wish they would put me on the pit gate,, there would be a lot more room in the pits for riders and staff to move around as the freeloaders would be ( made to pay or go away )

When did it stop Steve?

 

Don't know. All I know is it hasn't been the case for the last two seasons.

 

I'd also just like to add there has been a 'clampdown' on the amount of people who get in through the pit gate for free. It certainly isn't as many as a few seasons ago.

Riders were allowed one guest last year, other than a mechanic. There's a story going round that one rider smuggled SEVEN of his mates into Peterborough in the back of his van last year. Edited by Shads

Berwick is only £199 i think i read.... Be interesting to compare against other teams.

 

Yes thats true, most seem to be between £199 and £250 some just covering the guaranteed 17 meetings of league, league cup thing and 1 KO cup match. Workington's like ours covers full season and also got free programme last year. Berwick even do voucher books of 5 and 10 tickets which is also good idea which was mentioned last year. Ours is definitely most expensive.

 

Poole Pirates one only £285 i think :lol:

£255 at Edinburgh. That includes the Scottish Cup,(woohoo) the Scottish Open and a pre season challenge meeting.

Canny remember the League and Knockout Cups.

Slightly off topic, but a guy at my work smuggled his two kids into a safari park in the boot of his car to save a fiver.

Then came to work and told everybody.
