chris4gillian Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Well he keeps getting involved in stuff which is not his business. To be honest I think this whole situation is childish and ridiculous.....I have been arguing for days.............All because I said Gomolski is under achieving...... Don't want to start the situation up again but Chris4gillian sent me abuse and everything when I mentioned team changes...........However I haven't seen Chris4gillian send anyone else posts typed in capitals or abuse...who are talking about team changes in the Poole 2015 topic.....Or Pirate Oliver on here when we both agreed about Gomolski. I am prepared to leave the situation alone now because I don't want to ruin the forum for others.....But it seems as though other posters don't want to.... Looks like you're rubbing a number of other forum members up the wrong way. We can't all be wrong. Even Starman thinks you're a plonker and that's a real achievement! And you're definition of abuse is counter posting which is all I have ever done. Yes I've said you're a which is within forum rules and I stand by it as you prove it post after post and by your PM's. I haven't counter argued (or in your world sent abuse) to any other posters as nobody else has posted the nonsense you have. Keep it coming as a lot of us are laughing at ya! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Reduced admission must always be a dilemma for the promoters who do it.... The simple reason is that the inevitable increase in crowd merely demonstrates to them the fact that the usual admission costs are far too high whilst at the same time also clearly demonstrates that at 'the right price' a big crowd will still attend the sport.... The dilemma therefore is how to deliver the outgoings for the sport which facilitates enough income from such admission fees every week.... Easy to say, much more difficult to do, however the massive prize on offer is clearly there if they can... Just as an aside, do any of the promoters who do this reduced admission ever take email details, mobile numbers, home addresses etc off the crowd to target them with more offers to get them to attend more often?? Speedway is not affordable to a lot of families and many question value for money aswel. 15 drawn out races where most is first out wins. Speedway needs new ideas fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reduced or free admission is all well and good but once you have attracted the crowd by that method, and it usually will work, Brits love anything free, you must show them something that they consider worth paying for. Free admission got Lakeside a near 5000 crowd (accepted some would have been other clubs existing fans) but how many came back. They clearly didn't think what they saw warranted the usual admission cost The actual cost is largely irrelevant anyway. People simply want value for money, if they spend a fiver they want goods to the value of a fiver. Speedway in its current guise is nowhere near value for money at £16.00 plus (admittedly £16.00 on the gate only equates to a little over £13.00 nett).

Waspman Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 So when the season ends how about we all have a get together somewhere neutral in the middle of the UK we could all meet and say hi I go under the name of etc etc.of course outside would be 10 riot vans plus watercannon sorry that's banned,inside maybe a person who solves problems? Anyway a few drinks should chill us out get disputes sorted and all be friends for 2016? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoFastTurnLeft Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Any chance of the Poole fans taking their thoughts on Gomolski onto the Poole thread please?. How dare we discuss a rider involved in this meeting who isn't Darcy Ward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert72 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 18 at Coventry! No reduced admission for sky meetings either. I know a number of ex regular bees fans who no longer go as they all say it's too expensive. As for the cov sky match,even if it wasn't bad weather it would of still been a very poor crowd,there was no reduction to get fans out of there homes unlike Leicester & Swindon. Promotors are killing the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyfan Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Anyone else think it's ironic that both riders who were banned, will now be riding for the same team in Poland?? (When Dudek's ban is over of course). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(wolves £1) Are you a bit bored this morning?? Children Under 5 are Free; 5-10 £4. I guess its a similar question as to why Coventry charge £18 for Adults when most others only charge £17 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
