NDT Bulls v Cubs

[heathen52]

Next Monday sees Trophy racing return to Perry Barr when Leicester are the visitors, I was thinking of going then saw that the admission prices are £15 and £13 for concessions, personally I would have thought £12 and £10 would be about right, I realise things have got more expensive but this is a Trophy meeting and is not the same standard of racing that the NL was a few years back, I personally won't be going to any meetings at those prices for that level of Speedway.

After complaining numerous times about pricing and entertainment value, I think with what is on offer at Perry Bar at this fixture it is reasonably priced.

Not only are Birmingham Bulls riding against Leicester Fox Cubs in the inaugural National Development Trophy meeting, additionally Birmingham Buffaloes are racing against Wolverhampton Wolf Cubs in the Midland Development League.

 21 Heats with the future stars of British Speedway on show, what's not to like?

Think it's a fairly decent price for level some good riders on show .

I'm sure some people are so tight, that they squeak when they walk.

National League is quite often more entertaining than the dull top leagues

Not tight mate but value for money, if you want to pay £15 to watch basically a level that is a step down from the NL then go ahead, I don't see watching a heat being won by half a lap as entertainment, nothing against the riders but price it right and a tenner imo is right. I can go and watch Wolves v West Ham on tuesday for £18-50 so £18-50 for a Premier League game, different sport I know but it puts £15 to watch mostly development riders in perspective.

That's the spirit mate..

If you don't feel its value then don't go, if you want to spend some money that will be invested in the future riders then go and have a good time watching our youth devlop.

Presumably that was a typo, and you mean a step down from the Championship?   (NL can't be a step down from itself  )

Personally I prefer NDL to Championship.   I watch Premiership to see the top stars, and NDL to see the young upcomers.  I tend to skip Championship.

But dont the same riders have meeting in both NL leagues? so how can it be a lower standard. Season ticket holder at Brummies so it costs me £10.
