Fours Festival Weekend


Recommended Posts

Premier Inns at Orton Meadows, Hampton and Norman Cross are all within a few miles of the track, their are plenty of other reasonably priced hotels in the Peterborough area as well.

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...............

You do not have to be a Caravan Club member to stay there...............

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?

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

Got the potential to be a brilliant weekend, just hope the powers-that-be make the pricing of the speedway/camping attractive for fans.

 

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.

Peterborough nightlife is pretty good, Edwards and Flares are the two main places I would go.

 

If you're feeling really saucy then make sure you visit the red room in Edwards, all hell breaks loose in there!

Thought you were under 18

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.

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.

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.

Yeah, you're right it's really amazing how much you can save if you don't have a life and spend your entire time trolling on here!

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 .

A lot more racing though to be fair... 32 heats on each day, we pay £1 per heat in PL and the same for PLRC roughly

Sacrificed having a normal teenage life, not going out and having no mates?

That's some sacrifice

I'm not paying that. It was around £20 last year for one meeting

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.

Aye just like the Pairs/G.P. weekend. ;):cheers:
