£18 is expensive but the reality is there is no money in British speedway, it costs a lot to run a meeting and with only small crowds that means the entry prices have to be high to make it anywhere near viable.

 

If Mick charged us all £15 we would probably not have a competitive side or worse than that no speedway at all.

How do you work that out ? buy charging more the crowds could dip meaning that you don't bring more money in . With speedway in a poor way and people's wages static this is a really poor move from Horton .

Other clubs will probably follow suit. I personally don't mind as it's cheaper for kids at Brandon than most other places.

Really? Who is going to stop supporting their club over having to pay an extra quid? Crowds will dip more if you have a crap team that's for sure, even the mighty Pirates found that out a few years ago when they were struggling at the bottom of the league.

The increase will be for a reason. Probably running cost (riders wages, other employees and rent of the stadium) and a slice for the promoter. Nothing wrong in that.

You don't say ...I thought they done it for a laugh
