Just my opinion Give Matt a ring and tell him you will organise it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely with everyone being so well off the riders could pay their own - after all they are probably using £50 notes as toilet paper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand people not being able to get time off work but not being able to afford it? Wouldn’t cost more than £75 with fuel and entry. If someone can’t afford that they should look seriously at where they have gone wrong in life and make changes. People today are better off than they have ever been. Not aimed at people on sickness benefit. Listen Steve, many people cannot take time off work on a whim. They have FULL TIME jobs, many people and if you read my post cannot afford to spend the best part of £100 it would have cost for the trip assuming more than one go. Many people are not, alledgedly in your postion. You say people are better off now that they have ever been, rubbish that i will not agree with you on.

Not aimed at people on sickness benefit. I do believe that you are on a wind up. A big percentage of people earn less than £10 an hour bills are going up and up and the leisure pound is getting less and less. People now have to pick and choose what they spend it on and in my opinion its a big reason why speedway gates are down.It would seem when people have to pick and choose speedway is way down on the list and are going every now and again instead of every week. Well done for doing well in life but a hell of a lot of people are not in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who doesn’t own a smart phone? 20 years ago many didn’t even own a mobile. That must be why home ownership is now declining faster than speedway attendances ... And, i don't own a smart phone either 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike. Again you have not read my post properly. My first sentence says, “I can understand people not being able to get time off work.....” Most people can afford £75 for a playoff final trip. And it would be much less if the fuel was shared. Whether people would want a 11 hour round trip to Kings Lynn is a different argument when it’s on TV.

SteveLyric2 Posted October 31, 2018 Report Share Posted October 31, 2018 (edited) Well done to the title-winning riders who are all off to the Abu Dhabi F1 at the end of November - including guest Nick Morris. Brady is also able to join them. It was going to be Las Vegas but Freddie Jacobsen is 'too young' to be allowed to enjoy everything on offer so, Abu Dhabi it is with the management and a couple of the club sponsors. (see today's Bournemouth Echo for full story). www.bournemouthecho.co.uk There is the first of the Autumn/Winter supporters club (R.E.F.) gatherings in Champs Bar at the stadium on November 14th which will include showing the film/dvd of the 70th Anniversary Dinner featuring interviews with 20+ past and present riders, for those fans that were unable to attend back in March. Not sure if any of the riders or management will be in attendance? Edited October 31, 2018 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
