At least we know he considered it ( however briefly ). A great pity as it would have been easy and inexpensive to administrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Mate. 2 meetings for the price of 1 is a great idea. I think that would attract some neutrals too. Like from Peterborough Ipswich rye house. This whole thing would have a positive spin to it! And if the 2nd was to end in farce no 1 would complain too much. That’s speedway! cant believe I agree with you on something!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Correct... Unfortunately how many would have stayed will never be known... If nothing else it would have given some info as to whether using such a mechanic is viable for any future DH's... Something such as this could only have had a positive impact to the attendance, as those with time constraints or simply don't want to stand around for so long watching Speedway, would have attended in greater numbers than now will be the case.... Sadly, there just isn't the focus on what the 'customers' want in Speedway, and it therefore time and time again delivers the attendances that the level of focus it gives deserves. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly that remains the case for this century at least. It must be the only sport where the concerns of the paying customer are so disregarded and whose feedback is of no interest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semion Posted August 22, 2018 Report Share Posted August 22, 2018 So It is looking another fine day in Gotham City ready for this feast of Speedway action. Get there early folks to get a prime position. You wouldn't wanna miss any of the action. I'm going for 54-36 in the first....then 38-22 in the 2nd With Robert Lambert staying unbeaten all night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been involved in running and marketing businesses for over 30 years and in all that time (in fact ad infintum since commerce began), pretty much nothing has changed in how you make a success of what you do.. Listen to your customer's feedback.. Give them what they want, (or be honest and explain to them why you cannot meet these expectations).. And control your costs to ensure what your customers want is both value for money for them, but delivers profits to you.. Utopia is to earn the "lifetime loyalty" of your customer, and given Speedway is a Team Sport, that 'emotional loyalty' should be easy to engender and taken as a 'given'... My 'loyals' as they are referred to, are absolutely key to my success, as if I lose ONE of them, such is the frequency of their visits per week, I need TWELVE other 'non loyals' (customers who shop at various locations), to visit me once a week to replace them.. Instead of wondering why they are not getting any new customers in, maybe Speedway should try and attract back those 'loyals' who used to attend, whilst at the same time listening to the 'loyals' who still do attend, but are gradually losing their emotional attachment to keep themselves attending..
