I just prefer team speedway that’s it really. I do prefer team speedway,but in a way this does involve your team as they are not riding for themselves individually.They are representing your team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought the streaming for all 6 meetings, went to Ipswich and obviously will go to Lynn, didn't go to Boro. Great to watch meetings back even if I go in person, won't be attending Wolves, Sheffield and BV (unless our boys are in for the title) ..... It's been a good, competative comp so far imo ...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surprises me these days that people say they don't like individual meetings as much as team meetings, team meetings made up of individuals that ride for a host of other teams not only abroad but also in this country... each to their own though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghosty Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 I see the admission price for the pairs is £12.99 that's fantastic as surely no one would want to pay £13.00! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you're referring to the cost of buying the BSN stream, which is £12.99? (You're not referring to the admission price of attending the meeting - £20 I think ) If so, I don't see a problem. It's paid by card and it's pretty common in retail to end prices in 99p to look psychologically cheaper. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely spot on re the prices ending 99p .I find it amusing at the moment with being a delivery driver(local).I must have passed about 20-25 different garages from Ely,Littleport,Chatteris,March,WisbechLong Sutton plus Holbeach and all the surrounding area and all the diesel prices are set at 199.9p.I don't think any particular garage wants to be the first to go over £2 as they know psychologically that people are likely to go elsewhere.I did see one though at 202.9p that was in Holbeach Drove i think.

Personally I see things the other way around... At the current rate I can see Speedway becoming more like a Grasstrack setup in the future with individual meetings being held up and down the country.

Like stock cars I actually prefer individual meetings but I get the impression I am in a tiny minority of speedway fans there, so I wonder if that would be financially viable. Would tracks get the attendance needed to cover their costs, which based on the figures I have seen posted for stadium lease are still going to be high, even on a revised format Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from die hard fans (I don't mean the film!) A lot of fans pick and choose meetings so spread out at different meetings during the season. But obviously they all choose to attend the playoffs! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Championship it is pretty costly to go to every meetings & I can understand anyone on a budget picking and choosing which they want to go to. If every meeting had gone ahead Redcar would have been 5 home meetings in April Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I go on a Thursday evening, there’s seven Witches donned in their Witches team suits representing my home town team. Who cares who else they ride for?? I don’t. Danyon Hume rode for Glasgow last night and rode very well, but to me he’s a Witch riding for someone else.

Fina Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 Looks like a rider change for Wolves from the teams on the preview pages - Worrall instead of Morris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
