For anyone with a motorhome or touring caravan there is a good site at Ferry Meadows which is next door to Nene Country Park and not that far from the Showground...............

Paul Johnson Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Shads, on 23 Jan 2016 - 1:47 PM, said: Every fours meeting I've been to has dragged on for hours, especially at Peterborough. Don't think I'd fancy the prospect of 8-9 hours over the weekend, especially as my team won't be involved in the final. support rye house on the saturday and your 2 riders in the individual on the sunday?

New era Panthers Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) lets see if you moan when a team member gets dragged into the Water Close t after increasing their average to 9+ then . [/quote That's something you have to be aware of and accept unfortunately and just get on with it otherwise you'll never get a single meeting on with this attitude and it applies to all teams involved. Perhaps you would like to predict who is likely to be out injured and miss the weekend while your at it Edited January 23, 2016 by New era Panthers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldyman Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Let's hope the price structure is right for this event. Get it spot on and it should be a full house both days, get it wrong and plenty may give it a miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthegearbutnaeidea Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Should be a good weekend this ... I assume the nightlife in Peterborough is slightly better than Berwicks?! Is that possible? Theres no comparison to Sox on a Sunday night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikec Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Got the potential to be a brilliant weekend, just hope the powers-that-be make the pricing of the speedway/camping attractive for fans. Â As an Aces fan already going to Swindon on the Thursday & Coventry on the Friday, really tempted to head to this one too - will be watching developments with interest. If it's sensibly priced will definitely be there, always enjoy my racing fix at the Showground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george.m Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Peterborough nightlife is pretty good, Edwards and Flares are the two main places I would go. Â If you're feeling really saucy then make sure you visit the red room in Edwards, all hell breaks loose in there!

Daniel Smith Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 People seem to keep saying that the pricing has to be right without giving their own opinion of what that would be.  IMO anything over £30 for adult admission for both days would see the event a massive flop as the promoter's need to take the price of overnight stays into consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffdiamond Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 seem's strange that its been announced without any idea's of pricing,,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted January 24, 2016 Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 (edited) By giving us notice of this event, fans can start saving now.  I have £13000 saved up at the age of 20, It's amazing how much you can save if you make the sacrifices.

I would expect a 2 day ticket will be priced attractively perhaps £50 with single days at £30 a piece. Above that level becomes a stretch particularly for couples/families.

Would think that was a bit high . All the big PL meetings last season , Somerset , Peterborough and Sheffield had £20 admission , so that plus either £30 or £35 for a two day ticket would be nearer the mark . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacrificed having a normal teenage life, not going out and having no mates? That's some sacrifice I would expect a 2 day ticket will be priced attractively perhaps £50 with single days at £30 a piece.  Above that level becomes a stretch particularly for couples/families. I'm not paying that. It was around £20 last year for one meeting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the big PL meetings last season , Somerset , Peterborough and Sheffield had £20 admission , so that plus either £30 or £35 for a two day ticket would be nearer the mark .36 heats a day - lots of points to pay out for. Saturday is effectively 3 x 12 heat meetings so if you were buying a £50 2 day ticket would be the equivalent of £15 for your own teams meeting and £5 for each of the neutral meetings.  Sunday a 20 heat individual and 16 heat final each of which would be £20 as single meetings so £25 for the 2 would seem very reasonable IMO  I certainly cant see it being less than my £50 2 day / £30 each single day.
