At present he is a free agent, having only competed in 7 matches, if he were to ride again, A) He would then become a Stars asset, and b): He would be in line for a reduce average. Not really sure about that,he would be guesting I assume so it wouldn't count as his 8th match.Do they get a reduced average now,foreign riders that is?

Haza Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 11 hours ago, mrss said: I thought Stars had said Josh Bailey will be on standby Wednesday. Not that I will be there, as I am told that I can't attend the first meeting then leave and be refunded 9 pounds. According to Buster there won't be anyone to give me any money back at the end of first meeting, although people will be able to take admission for the second meeting. So instead of getting 36 pounds from me he will get nothing. So sod the double header , I will stay at home and save my money. They could even hand out a voucher on the way out £9 off the next meeting you attend as long as you leave the stadium prior to heat one of the second meeting I’d have thought that wouldn’t be too difficult for the club - So the club lose £36 because they are unable or un willing to help customers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very simple solution and a great shame if not offered. Never know I few may go because of this offer with the intention of leaving after the first meeting, but enjoy the racing in the first meeting and decide to stay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfsbane Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Be interesting to see, if Schlein isn't available, if we try to get away with RR, which would be suicidal IMO, especially in a double header. With only the Aces not in action it looks like Cook or Fricke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waytogo28 Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Not a very enticing Wolves lineup. That means in speedway lore that they are likely to win both matches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My way or the highway is how it goes at King's Lynn. You should know that. You are merely a face in the crowd of 1000s, well hundreds or at least dozens.

Putting my Buster head on for a moment. If they issue vouchers and the first match I'd delayed or crap an awful lot of people would take the voucher and Buster would in effect lose that money. I know me seeing his side will shock some people but I'm a Libran so can see both sides although it's the club lack of foresight (or early season fixtures) that has caused this problem. Just a thought, why couldn't one meeting be held BH Monday morning. Would be over and done with in time for both teams to ride in the evening.

Daniel Smith Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Here's the thing, charge the usual admission (£16.50) and get 1000 through the door would average around £16,500. Get 600 because you've over charged (£25) and the club will only average £15,000. To break even 660 are needed. For me, 30 races (especially against the same team) at £18 is excellent value and more likely to encourage more punters in. Maybe more Wolves fans and even reasonably close fans of other teams would turn up for what seems a bargain i.e Peterborough and Mildenhall etc. (For the record, figures worked out by meeting in the middle of adult and concession admissions) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
