Think that was just for the month of June ??? £10 across the 'board' (pardon the pun) would be a fair suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cherry picking riders is "par for the Speedway course" it seems, virtually every evening, so why not take the opportunity to try and entice some fans of a defunct local team to your track..? Even if just 100 turn up it will be more than the vast majority of away teams will ever bring... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what opinions are about, you say it's relevant I say it's pointless, so we won't agree will we, I do think a fair few Cov fans will attend, but I don't think anymore than the diehards at Brum will attend, let's be honest, the Birmingham public have not really taken to the speedway in the 15 years since the reopening apart from the opening season, I doubt it will get any better now, I have said before and I will say again the kids who are supposed to be the future are just not interested and let's be truthful here Birmingham have a lot of older fans, they ain't going to be around forever are they?. I hope all who attend tonight have a nice time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope all who attend tonight have a nice time. I am not saying it is relevant. .. Far from it.... It just has as much relevance as pretty much every meeting in the UK... Not pointless though, as it no doubt helps Birmingham run 'x' number of meetings which may be part of their contract and also gives 14 riders another meeting... Which is essentially why UK Speedway is ran. .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
