Given the crowds we have had so far, and that it’s a tv fixture, this should be £10. I don’t understand why we don’t do it. There will be 1k if we are lucky. And the place will look empty on the tv. Expand Dont think it helps selling tickets in advance on line as it makes it impossible to drop the price at the drop of a hat ! People who had bought tickets way in advance would be up in arms if the price dropped on race day. And if tickets were sold way in advance at £10. because it was on telly THEN B.T. changed there planned televised meeting the Aces would lose out so they`re a bit stuck with it.

Expand That scenario has happened on a multitude of occasions in other sports. The reality is a season ticket will generally save you money so take your chances. Speedway can’t cater for the minority, it needs to go after the popular demand and if it pisses off a few ST holders because they’ve lost a buck, I’m afraid that is just the roll of the dice sometimes.

2ndbendbeerhut Posted June 2, 2019 Report Share Posted June 2, 2019 I believe that in American football the tv company showing the live match insist that the stadium is full. So on the day of the event free tickets will be given to passing "fans" so that the stadium looks good for tv and sponsors.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given2Fly Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I thinking Ipswich will give the aces a good close meeting. Maybe even a shock away win. Can’t wait to watch this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strong middle order and reserves who are fire right now. Allen has had some good meetings and Bellego generally goes well here It will be lost at the top of the team. I’d put my house on of Fricke or Bjerre, if not both, going through the card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Fricke, bjerre and bewley to go through the card for me. I honestly can't see anything but a 24+ win If fricke bjerre and bewley ste hating this will be a no contest racing wise aswell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob B Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 I hope from a entertainment point of view that Fricke, Bjerre & Bewley don't have their gating gloves on as nobody in the Ipswich team will get close to them. There should be some good battles in the lower orders though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner85 Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 Jake Allen at reserve is a bonus... he will be a real handful if he is fully fit. I would not be surprised if it is a tough match provided the main body of the team ride well... Lawson , King , Harris and Bellego are all capable of getting good scores around the NSS. satisfied with good racing and a win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up against our top 3 they haven’t a hope. Ipswich will score points tonight at reserve and in the middle order. I think if we start well we will win comfortably if we don’t it will be close. I expect Ipswich to be stronger in the middle of the meeting which is something we have been susceptible to recently at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chun Posted June 3, 2019 Report Share Posted June 3, 2019 looks like wall to wall sunshine on the weather forecast today. I wonder how this will impact track preparation, Manchester not being known for the stuff. Its the only hope the Witches have got in my view, that the track is a bit different.

Very rare now that riders make passes away from home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
