spin king Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 For a number of clubs the profits that are produced for the catering does not go into the clubs pockets it goes into the pockets of the landlords of the stadium, and they have very little or no say in what is served up. Having viewed on FB some of the stuff that Barry Bishop eats, I would be very wary of anything that is homemade by him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianbuck Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 It's clear from these comments that regardless of tracks, it's really the people who most matter. I've followed my beloved Brummies for the last 66 years and I know that speedway people are the best people in the world, so whichever team you decide to follow, enjoy a great season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Barry Bishop makes that Curry down at the IOW then there is nowt wrong with it, its the best curry i have ever tasted at a Speedway Track, indeed its almost worth the journey for the curry alone , I would go so far as to say it puts a lot of well known Takeaway establishments to shame. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluenose Posted March 11, 2019 Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 just posted this on the Scuuny page sounds too good to be true ??? Scorpions have held adult entry fees at £16, with their opening meeting coming on April 5 when they host Championship newcomers Leicester.Godfrey said: “We offer one of the most attractive set of admission prices across the entire Championship, and that will again be the case in 2019.“We realise the need to provide a good value-for-money package. That doesn’t just cover the admission, but also the complete works – such as the programme and the ((( food. ))))“It doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to watch speedway in Scunthorpe and that’s important if you want people to come back every week.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering most of the Championship riders ride in the Premiership, prices should be pretty close. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to follow a Championship team with the same passion and interest. Let me know why I should support your team, and I'll make my decision by the end of February. Happy New Season folks and enjoy your Speedway. have you not made your mind up yet as to what team to support from a distance ? will it be a Brexit decision and be made at the last hurdle or will it be made at the end of the 2019 season . just that its dragging on a bit and time is short to the start of the new season . maybe Brexit will be decided before you do . but good lick with her final outcome .

That being said every once in a while you see a great meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
