SamKM91 Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 I can see Lynn being 24 quid if I’m honest, but I still wouldn’t mind if it was 25 🤷🏻♂️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't feel that long ago that starters in restaurants were 3 or 4 quid... now they are £7+ The only irksome thing is when you then need the change in your pocket for a programme which isn't in the entry cost - I'd rather just pay one cost for both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LagutaRacingFan Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 £24/£25 is ridiculous. Speedway is going to price itself out. Pensioners are struggling to keep warm. They have lost their winter fuel payment due to the Conservative Party leaving a big black hole in the budget. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zagarmeister Posted November 28 Report Share Posted November 28 I think Mr. Laguta/Basso/Starmer fan should keep politics out of a Speedway forum! I am unable to type what I think............... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is of course the option to stay at home and spend your £25 on the fuel bill? Have you been to a football match lately and seen how much they charge.

Arch Stanton Posted November 29 Report Share Posted November 29 Stadium rent will have gone up in some cases, the riders expenses would have gone up also, therefore so will their demands. Literally everything in modern day life has become more expensive. Can’t really expect admission prices to freeze and the promotions take an even bigger hit. A small increase is to be expected. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you been to a football match lately and seen how much they charge. Bel Vue quoted football prices as a way to justify ridiculous prices for the son. How did that work out. Speedway isn't football. It's a £20 sport including a program. The reason we pay more is because we love it. I just looked at ticket prices for normdl one day cricket at Essex £14 in advance. £17 on the day We all can compare apples and pears!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelvinht Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 1 hour ago, MP78 said: Yeah, true… not my best suggestion 🤣 I certainly wouldn't want to be forced to pay for a programme. Rarely buy them these days as I use an app. Petrol and entrance and drinks are enough for me. Not sure why programmes are sold separately - have them available at the box office then if you are paying by card you only pay once and don't have to worry about cash 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted December 8 Report Share Posted December 8 I think official club phone apps are long overdue for people who use their phones quite a bit. You could have a buyable digital version of the programme on there with a scorechart which can be filled in on the night and the news / club info that the website has plus extras for those who are prepared to pay for a premium service. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
