paul666 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 (edited) Hi guys. Sorry for bothering you all. Trying to get hold of the Poole fan I met at the Prague GP last night. He helped out Darren who was showing us around the pits. We were on the roof together. I got the stuff you lent him back after you had gone. If he sees this can he send me an email and I will post the stuff back to you (afraid I got back more than we lent out). Paul (a cheetahs fan).

Clubs can’t afford to reduce prices. £20,000?? Thats over 1300 paying adults (taking account of VAT) Are there that many each week anyway to make that possible even if it was made free on the night? Charging full admission will mean many hundreds will stay at home and watch it on TV and is a sure way of maximising that shortfall. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a firm advocate of keeping speedway on TV but the promoters have no idea how to utilise it to best effect. So, yes, perhaps it is time to end it when the current contract runs out. Before taking on this contract they should have jointly agreed to open the doors for £10 and make an effort to fill it up. Are the sponsors over the moon with the coverage they get and so urge Buster et al to continue with it? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To pay for two hours worth of advertising for your business in a prime time evening slot would cost thousands and thousands... Speedway gets it for even better than free because they actually get money.. Yet many seem to never use this HUGE opportunity to advertise themselves... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottyfan Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Let’s hope Brady Kurtz scores better than he did in Sweden on Thursday (0,0,ex/t,0). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz9100 Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Yeah he did have a bit of a mare on Thursday. Hope Richie Worrall continues his good form from this weekend though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trackrat Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I've made my mind up, I shall watch the cyclists going past my house on the bumpy dusty path instead of watching this meeting.....same thing really, just cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I have said this before but if people stay away you will not get any money from them, even if you charge a tenner, that’s ten quid you would not have got otherwise, it doesn’t cost anymore to run the stadium if you have 500 people in or 5000 so you might as well pack the place out. 500 adults at £20 a pop is 10k 1000 adults at £10 a pop is also 10k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
