Admission details for Sunday confirmed now must say seems a bit complicated

I agree it could be hard to follow, but gotta give them credit for trying to give Mildenhall & Oxford fans the option of just paying to see their teams, when Berwick ran double headers fans has to pay full price (no usually double header reduction) even if just wanting to watch their team!

But I want to watch the last 5 heats of both matches. I'm happy to nip off for a pint at the end of the first match.

 

I'll get my coat :blink:

Well a truly outrages statement from Leicester speedway regarding pricing for a wet and cold Sunday Afternoon.

Nobody knows if and when the first match will Finish or even the time the second one MIGHT START!!!!!

The easiest and SAVVY promoters (DO WE HAVE ANY?) way to have dealt with this was to say..............................IT IS A TENNER for both matches, come and enjoy a great nights RACING!

But hey this is British Speedway at its Best, same old, same old crap!!!!!!!!!!!!

The club’s pricing is actually for a wet and cold Sunday afternoon. There, bet you’ll go now!

A bit complicated, it’s bloody ridiculous but I wouldn’t worry because the weather forecast is horrendous for the next seven days.

I had a conversation with one of the Promoters, Dave ??? last weekend. From what he said they don't make any of the financial decisions about the club. Everything is passed down from the Owners. I hope they new owner, whoever they be are either a hands on Owner/Promoter who is financially savvy or a Speedway Person who wants to remain in the background and appoints Promoters to run the club as they see fit.

I'd be amazed if the track is fit for speedway racing on Sunday. I know they bought extra equipment in from Swindon during the winter but it'll be a lake now. All of the riders should be back next season and hopefully all absentees recovered from injuries so why not stage the matches next April?

Seems to me like Leicester had ample opportunity to stage meetings earlier, but didn't. They've literally only had home NDL fixtures on FIVE days since the start of July (and one of those fixtures followed a Premiership match). But we should all wait until April to now decide the winners of the two competitions they've been racing in all season?

I would be amazed if the track is visible above the water after the rain we have had over the last 24 hours

I don't have detailed facts at my disposal so can only put forward a guess to explain why so much time has elapsed  - is it possible that Leicester and Oxford had to await other fixtures (probably including ones involving themselves) to be completed before they were the confirmed finalists? Add in the inevitable postponement or two, and you get to this situation. More a general lack of urgency perhaps?

I really don't agree how leicester have done this. I would have let fans in who had a ticket from week in for free as an apology for last week's mess. If a supporter didn't have a ticket from last week then they pay as normal. None of this wristband crap 

Fans who have a ticket from last week are being allowed in "free" for the re-run of the meeting  which didn't happen - albeit the club wanted to run it but the riders found it too difficult (well some did) to ride. And if they don't want to watch the other match. they can toddle off back home & not be out of pocket having had to pay for something they didn't want
Many a time promotions are criticised  by spectators for charging higher prices for a double header when the spectator only wants to watch one match - Now Leicester have introduced that opportunity they are being shot at.
Just cant please all of the folk all of the time
