Kings Lynn vs Ipswich Witches May 17th 7.30pm

[John Scrutton]

Dont know how much it is to watch 22 fairies run up and down a field for 90 plus minutes but i would rather see 16 men risking life and limb every time

You pays ya money and takes your choice.  Your money, your choice.

Jesus, Mary, Joseph and the wee Donkey. £20 to get into Saddlebow for Speedway.   The World’s gone mad.

I wonder how long it will be before the ‘use it or lose it’ cry will go out.

Financial suicide if it is £20 absolute madness- we shall have to see when it’s  officially announced . 
But to expect fans to pay more for a much weaker product doesn’t make much sense to me. 
 

[Bald Bloke]

I reckon same as last season, with maybe a 50p booking fee.

Speedway has been trying to commit suicide for years maybe this year they will succeed

It's £20 don't know whether there is a booking fee or not though.

[Baldyman]

Must be 18 quid for the speedway, and 2 quid for the in between race and half time entertainment

Let’s not forget all those poor strikers  who have not seen the light of day all season as they have been kept in Grant Hanleys pocket.

Perhaps if the clubs came out and said we have upped the price to give the PJL riders a contribution towards costs....nah thought not

Surely the admission price can’t be increased. A team with only one heat leader , Lambert replaced by Bridger can’t justify a increase.

Doesn't he play for the team that's sponsored by the company that sells bungee jump elastic

[semion]

Hasbro have launched a new Yo Yo that only goes up now.  They are calling it the ‘Farke’.  For the less challenging user they have launched a far inferior product  called the ‘Cookie’

My prediction for that is - mid September. "If you want to see top class speedway racing at Saddlebow Rd in 2022, start turning up in your droves " will be the cry.

[Haza]

On the Ipswich website there adult admission is £19 available on line from the 12th May and they urge fans to buy online as capacity restrictions apply at 2000 but turnstiles will be open on the day of the meeting

Next season's offering at the Carra has cost me £18 a game. You get a realistic discount for a season ticket in football, unlike speedway. For that I will see 19 games. The speedway product provides the prospect of being able to watch 5 other teams with effectively 15 minutes of entertainment in each meeting. The vast majority of races will feature a "follow the leader" pattern. The season's main aim for each team is to not finish in 5th or 6th position. If that is what floats your boat, fair enough. I think I am fairly certain where my focus will be.

I have never understood the justification for booking fees. It is just an excuse to extract more money. It winds people up (or it does me!). If you feel you need to charge a bit more, just include it in the price for the event.

Stupid to compare our sport with bledy football with £Ms at their disposal!! If speedway was in the position they are we'd all expect something similar, UNFORTUNATELY it's not!!!!
