Unless that idea has been exhausted. It's like great deals for 'new customer's',,, should look after your bread and butter, just my opinion tho. It’s to stop riders racing in front of no one watching. And then a 1000 people online. That’s the idea behind it. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they opened it up to anyone it would get abused and crowds would go down. It’s aimed at those who are too far away to attend to still watch their side and away fans who can’t make the journey but can still cheer on their side also. for example if it was open to locals then why go and pay £17 when you could watch it at home for £10 the club would be doing themselves out of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fromafar Posted January 29, 2020 Report Share Posted January 29, 2020 Tend to agree ,outside the diehards there is not a lot of interest in the sport these days ,the club would risking people just staying at home paying £10 for the family to watch speedway.Good initiative by the promotion though.

I get what you say, but would you not run the risk of some fans turning red? 36 minutes ago, Fromafar said: Tend to agree ,outside the diehards there is not a lot of interest in the sport these days ,the club would risking people just staying at home paying £10 for the family to watch speedway.Good initiative by the promotion though. Surely the diehards would go regardless? A know folk are doing what they can to try and make speedway more viable, just think it's a bit risky to alienate locals from the deal IMO.

Bit of dodgy weather around and they might stay in the house knowing they would see speedway if it was on.Wonder what the rules would be if the meeting started and was abandoned before Ht 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diehards will still be there, it is just the maybe's or lapsed supporters that might be interested so it is a win win for the club. Massive respect.

ekimba Posted February 6, 2020 Report Share Posted February 6, 2020 I see that Nathan Greaves has signed for Armadale Devils,. In my opinion he should be riding for the Monarchs in place of 1 or 2 others with a lower average. Whats not to like, young gained good experience with Redcar last year, he could be ready to take the next step. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edmon Posted February 29, 2020 Report Share Posted February 29, 2020 Have a bit of sympathy for announcers . Who will be first to get it wrong at Armadale - John, Liam or me? Just waiting on one of us giving the crowd a laugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
