teddy2706 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Looking at that field, I don't think anything is clear cut! The NL Pairs is always a cracking meeting, full of upset, controversy and excitement. If the weather is kind, we know the track will be perfect and we will all be in for a real treat. I don't care who wins, so long as all of the riders go home unhurt, safe and enjoy a great meeting without untoward expense. Hopefully I will get to meet many old friends there too? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddy2706 Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 Interestingly, the Speedway GB site gives two start times for this meeting, 7pm and 7.30 pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimmo Posted September 2, 2015 Report Share Posted September 2, 2015 I've not seen a concessions price quoted, which is quite unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackbird Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Conessions for pensioners are on their way out - with the "subsidy" going to youngsters. Makes long-term sense. Does it? Surely long term we're all gonna be pensioners but none of us will become kids again..?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWatson Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Conessions for pensioners are on their way out - with the "subsidy" going to youngsters. Makes long-term sense. It's been our approach with Coventry Storm - over 16 pay £10, 16 and under go free. It makes it easier for a family to afford to attend and, hopefully, gets the youngsters hooked - they are the fans of the future after all!

Rye House do the same, adult concessions for the Rockets, one price for all adults for the Raiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 Does it? Surely long term we're all gonna be pensioners but none of us will become kids again..?! Start saving then... I've been let into a fact by a PL promoter that I was chatting to that at PL admission price levels (full fare at his place = £16), the average cash in the till per supporter that the promotion gets is between £8-£9. That's the impact on a club's revenue giving discounts to pensioners is. There's a lot of places where pensioners make up the majority or a goodly proportion of the fan base, and where the "full fare" is paid by only a minority of supporters. I had to agree with him, it does not make for long term financial viability of the sport. Sounds from the above posts that there is a start being made to address this problem.

rhidassa Posted September 4, 2015 Report Share Posted September 4, 2015 So, I should be attending this to cheer Eastbourne on (whether I get a student concession or pay full adult price ). Hoping the weather is kind, though I know it won't be so kind as to be nice and warm! Hope it's a good crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping the weather is kind, though I know it won't be so kind as to be nice and warm! Hope it's a good crowd. Now you see, it would make good promotion and marketing sense for the BSPA to get into bed with the NUS, so that students could get universal discounted admission, in return for cross promotion of the sport through NUS channels...but of course that requires a little foresight and work in setting the deal up. Young adults within a few years of being "full fare payers" are what the sport should be aiming at but no-one seems to be doing it. It seems that people of student age are not as important as small kids who are 10-15 years away from paying full fare at the gate. Work that one out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waco Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Tonight's brilliant result for Kings Ben Morley and Danny Ayres shows that consistency is what counts in pairs competitions.through the card and no last places was the key..Felt for Rob and Kyle who were immaculate in the qualifying races,but a last place in their semi did for them..

Halifaxtiger Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 24 heats in 2 and a half hours, good quality presentation and some entertaining racing. The meeting was a credit to the NL and to King's Lynn Speedway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
