NKI is a big one.How many teams have a bigger rider than him in 2018.Only the Rebels.I don't think there's a team that would have Nicki P on a 9 point ave after his bad injury ant at around 38.Big gamble imho. I'm not in favour of people being positive when it costs me money Call me selfish but I'm honest As I said NKI doesn't excite me, I acknowledge he's good but sorry he's no Nicki P, Gollob or even Jason Doyle. I've never cared whether Lynn won or lost I just want to be entertained and the present set up doesn't give me that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of now to your great delight I'm sure, I'm no longer attending. There's no justification in increasing adult admission prices in an even further watered down league. As they say in Dragons Den - I'm Out Just hope that now you are no longer attending that will also mean an end to your constant moaning and negativity, genuine KL supporters are really fed up with reading the same tedious comments from the likes of you and a few other regulars who will hopefully take your lead and not return either, perhaps you could go to Peterborough with Star Lady.......they deserve you both ! Good Luck to the Stars in 2018 ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 I think the kids free idea is a great one but unfortunately the trade off is to stick an extra quid on an adult price, it's going to split opinion of course and you can't please all of the people all of the time. You just hope it will lead to more under 16's going which is the whole point. Even if it leads to a few people not going who probably weren't going to anyway.....

I think a genuine supporter won't mind a pound,if it ends up with some interest from the young ones that might not of seen the racing otherwise.

The problem is, the adult is the one that has to take the junior to the meeting. If said adult thinks £18 is to much, he and the child misses out. That's the most likely outcome to newbies that they're trying to attract, punishing the regulars that's always been there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the adult saves £4 if he takes a junior.A junior that might never go,might get the chance now.I can see an adult with no kid pays a pound more. Better than keeping last seasons £17 and charging 11-16 year olds £5,for the future of the sport is it not.

If it's just the usual adult who always goes just this time with 2 kids instead of 0 the club makes a loss. They're chasing new adults to bring kids in for the future. This initiative is doomed to fail, I have no doubt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm it would be cheaper than it was last year if they are 11 plus! You can tell youre not a parent, you wouldn' stop going speedway or any other sport with your child if the cost went up £1 once every few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season did that for me and I have every right to complain if I don't believe things have improved. In my opinion, there doesn't look to be any improvement for 2018 so I'm complaining about it Thank-You 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
