baba Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 (edited) This has got to be off, rained all last night, its raining now and has been all day and its to rain most of night and thunderstorms at 3pm onwards tomorrow. Looks like round my mams for easter dinner. If ben is receiving 1300 then goodluck to him. 17.50 isn't overpriced imo it would be if we were standing in the 2014 stadium. The products fabulous and were entertained between heats. The untapped audience spend way more on a sunday in Soar at braehead, I don't mind paying extra its still value for money and after what the facenna family have put in to secure our future then its justified.

Admission prices have been at about £15 or thereby for about 10 years or more. Wages have doubled in that time so to be still only in the teens at £17.50 is hardly any change at all in the last 10 years. Admission prices in speedway are way behind inflation, wages, and prices generally over the last 10 years.

New era Panthers Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Is Barker still on £1300 a meeting? More than likely Panthers wouldn't match it anything like Glasgow offered him but then again Peterborough's admission price is only £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admission prices in speedway are way behind inflation, wages, and prices generally over the last 10 years. True but since 2008 the general population has experienced an precedented drop in living standards where wage inflation has been non existent. The only growth seems to be in zero hours contracts and semi skilled jobs being driven to minimum wage by a never ending stream of very cheap labour from eastern Europe. Pricing is a difficult issue, Glasgow look to have priced themselves between the Rocks basketball and Braehead Clan. The proof is in the pudding, we may attract fans particularly families who attend the hockey during winter but alienate a minority of long term speedway fans who cant afford to attend every meeting especially in a 5 week month. I think we should be calling this one now rather than try to get it on for the sake of it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admission prices in speedway are way behind inflation, wages, and prices generally over the last 10 years.Unless Glasgow has its own mini economy that's wrong. Wage inflation in the last ten years has been almost zero. So any ride at all in speedway prices the last ten years has been ahead of wage inflation.

What a load of drivel you talk! You know fine well that I was referring to average income of the public at large. In real terms speedway prices - as a percentage of income - has actually fallen over the last 10 years, that's a fact, you may choose to disagree cos you always seem to have a go at Glasgow and you are clearly anti-Glasgow. Time to take that huge chip off your shoulder and get a life mate. Unless Glasgow has its own mini economy that's wrong. Wage inflation in the last ten years has been almost zero. So any ride at all in speedway prices the last ten years has been ahead of wage inflation. That's just plain wrong. Prices have generally doubled and I deal with company costs, they have definitely doubled. Average wages have also virtually doubled. Speedway admission prices have fallen in real terms. You may choose to disagree as the resident know-it-all as you always claim to be on anything and everything.

Average wages have actually substantially risen, if you mean so have costs (accommodation, electricity, food, etc) then yes that's right, so no reason why speedway should be any different. Check out car prices over the last 10 years for example, they have virtually doubled. Same for a lot of stuff, and wages are definitely virtually double what they were 10 years ago while speedway admission prices have remained flat so in real terms they have fallen as a percentage of wages of the paying public, for Mr Average that is (no pun intended). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never put Fromafar down as anti-Glasgow in fact he tends to be complimentary off Glasgow the majority off the time and has been very complimentary off the work our new owners have carried out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
