2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Wonder what the refund will be...? Is there a BSPA directive to cover that? Cash refund or voucher for money off next years? Having spoken to a couple of fans with a season ticket they say they will not renew next year.... not worth it.

Sings4Speedway Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Does seem a strange one especially as there is no stipulation of the standard of the 16 lapper? Could have been run at NL standard for much cheaper payouts an i suspect there would have been 16 amateurs that would have done it for free (or at least supplied tyre and a bit of prize money for the finalists) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bash Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Always thought that this wouldn't go ahead as it would be almost 4 weeks from the last meeting staged and people probably wouldn't go. You only need 12 riders for this meeting so an ideal time to bring some new riders in to have a look at them as there would be only 3 Ipswich riders available, Coty, Nico & Cam as I wouldn't think they would risk Drew in this meeting.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 I find it strange that the press release it moaning at the lack of meetings but they are the ones cancelling 1.... Seems all too much of an effort... it's their ball and they have taken it home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk127 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Disappointing but with the general apathy it is not surprising. However they could have filled the gaps in the calendar with NL riders for individual meetings or a local 3TT using NL riders representing KL, IP and Mildenhall or perhaps have a final meeting that was a mixed race night with speedway, short track and sidecars. I guess that the promotion simply cannot be bothered to make the effort and similarly, riders cannot be bothered to turn out. I still wonder why did they not enter a team in the NL trophy as did Cradley Heath given that they would have known at the back end of last year how few home meetings they would be running. Perhaps even CL has given up on it now. Whatever the real reason it demonstrates scant regard for the supporters. How many will bother buying season tickets next year? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Season ticket was £200 that was for 14 meetings. That's £14.29 a meeting. A saving of only 10%. So a refund should be for the £14.29... or actually £14.23 As £14.29 x 13 would leave £14.23 to round upto £200. However an early bird got £10 discount ..meaning a meeting was £13.57. So what will the refund be.... if cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyTanker Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 The bigger question should be....Does anyone really care? I don't think anyone buys a season ticket cos of the savings...more ease of use and they know they will be going to every meeting no matter what.

Spl77 Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Oh the days of 25 to 30 meetings a season at Foxhall! Most of them meaningful with the 16 Lapper star of anglia and Billy sanders memorial added in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted September 24, 2018 Report Share Posted September 24, 2018 Saw a programme from 81 the other day..35 home meetings. And i bet they fitted them alt in. A meeting every week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
