Ipswich V Belle Vue 20th May


Recommended Posts

Speedway still in the dark ages. Whole market out there willing to pay a tenner for a stream. £10,000 going begging.

Denmark stream for free. About time the sport realised there’s lots of money to be made by streaming services and came into the 21st century.

That's so sad, that even after all this time, they couldnt sell 2000 tickets  

Do you think that some might be put off because they cannot track seven riders and after all that has gone on R/R is still foremost and that has annoyed a few. People want to see 14 riders plying their trade not 13  or less. Oh well I guess those running the sport know best and fully understand the punters feelings. Fingers crossed for a witches win.

Glasgow are streaming their meetings - I believe it is £11.95

Did not Ipswich win the league with a six person team?

Nobody complained then

Time has moved on and it was merely an observation but unvalidated as I am not at the meeting and without attendance figures being published, who knows. It still comes down to being short changed and the point of the comment was to possibly highlight a reason why some feel that the clubs are taking the p.. and that is understandable. Frankly those in charge have learnt nothing over the past year or so and take every paying punter for granted. SS makes a valid point re streaming and many would watch and the Glasgow meeting is a fine example. Many will pay to watch conveniently but will not drive miles to a track but the sport has in many areas failed to keep abreast of the times. The sport will fall on its sword if it does no wake up to the technology.
