so , looking at the number of teams in the league and only playing them once in the league.

\its gonna be a short season for most clubs . 10 league, 1 ko cup and some other cup thing .

 

14 max , unless the gods in charge put it back up yo 2 home meetings per team .

 

glasgow start on or just after 1st march . it gonne be finnissed before most teams have started lol

 

poss only top 4 for playoffs as well . no need for season tickets then , because it will be the shortest season EVER for 7 of the 11 clubs in the c.l.

 

good times ahead for speedway supporters in 2018 , NOT .

 

i can say what i want , cos they cant close this site down . lol .

Free tickets are not loss revenue unless they are picked up by someone who is going anyway, in which case that person will be well aware of the importance of them continuing to pay at the gate and not using it.

 

While it cannot be unlimited, a free ticket used by someone who doesn't go is no financial loss at all and may indeed have the result of them paying next time.

Just a few things which really worked well on the Isle of Wight.... Shows/carnivals/displays.... we offered free tickets to islanders with two conditions... If they liked it they promised to come back, if they didnt they told me why (100% returned rate) Bring my class...offering a kid from the crowd to bring their class and all their parents at their school class, scouts, guides... any youth group. Tickets as prizes for any community event.... these are the kind of things that worked for us... and we never will charge for kids 16 and under, we also have youth pricing 17 - 20

FREE tickets ALWAYS find themselves in the hands of regular speedway go,ers .

 

its a human thing , like it or not. its what we do .

 

nobody can ever convince me of any other outcome .

 

at workington we had free tickets on offer and most of those that used the free tickets were actual speedway supporters .

 

we watched em go through the turnstyles with all their speedway gear on , hats,scarfs and jackets .

 

yep , it really works . as if !

Well its not what I do, and I don't accept 'it is what humans do'

There is nothing wrong with the idea of offering free tickets as Halifaxtiger and others have already stated - what is wrong is the integrity and ignorance of those who took advantage.

I said it at the time that those who abused the situation were basically stealing from the promotion who were, and still are facing an uphill struggle to keep speedway alive in Workington. If they couldn't work that out for themselves, they are even more selfish and stupid than I thought.

i have been offered tickets before , but turned them down . many other fans dont .

 

they see it as money saved for something else .

 

even the police and M.P.s are corrupt .
