Sidney the robin Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) 6 hours ago, crazysue said: I also agree, Nicki was great with my three (well two as youngest wasn't the most sociable) and was showing them around his bikes, explaining everything to them. It was an absolute godsend as we had been queuing for hours for the world team cup and the boys were getting a tad antsy. I've got another two riders to add to the list - Scott Nicholls was brilliant with my eldest although seeing him now would probably make Scott feel very old indeed (eldest was around 10 or 11 at the time, he's 26 now!) when eldest was out trick or treating and again whilst at the track. The final rider is Hans Andersen, one of the few people that youngest felt comfortable with. I'm not sure if Hans was aware of youngest's autism and his difficulties in social situations but he always took the time to come down to his level (and youngest was and still is, very very small) and talk to him, even though youngest would be away from the crowd and visibly struggling. One particular occasion was after the Ryan Sullivan meeting, youngest had just got into photography but was struggling a little with the noise in the after party/social, Hans picked him up (I held my breath when he did that as youngest hated to be 'handled' let alone picked up but he was all smiles...a very rare thing indeed at the time) and helped him to take a few photos which not only calmed him down but also gave me some welcome relief from the building stress! Great post Sue that is why thing's like this make Speedway such a great sport it is more than just winning and losing.Going out and having a nice day with your kids is something that stays with you forever.

Arch Stanton Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Interestingly, the Speedway Star calculates that the four we’ve signed are 3.7 points more expensive combined than they would have been this time last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Welcome back Danny. I wish they'd tell us something we don't already know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Well that’s the four we all knew we’d signed, it’s the next three which will be interesting. I guess we won’t see anymore this side of Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Considering they are selling season tickets at the stadium this Saturday it would be nice to know who we are going to be paying to watch next year ! I've always held back on buying one because they were not transferable and without fail I have to miss a couple of meetings a season. At least that's changed now but I want to know the team before I part with my hard earned cash. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) You can buy a season ticket until the day of the first meeting. There is no early bird saving from what I can see. I know I won't turn up to a few meetings, so a book style would be handy Welcome back Danny, we know exactly what we are getting from you.

Falcon1983 Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 A half-season ticket would be a good introduction would still like to see more done with local schools to allow them free entry with a paying adult, but that in itself is a big task for the club to sort out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazysue Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 15 and under are free. I'd like to see a carer concession (free or at least reduced) as for some that is the only way they can go and it can make for an expensive night out if they have to pay full whack for someone to take them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 A carer should automatically be free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they reached out to schools within a 20 mile radius that is quite some number of kids to target also a 16-20 reduced ticket would be good for those in college or lower income i.e. minimum wage/apprentice wages Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me! He certainly could - just needs to turn up with equipment that has been maintained and cleaned and a spanner man that has some idea about what he is doing.....
