Scorpions hold prices for fourth successive season

HENDERSON INSURANCE Scunthorpe Scorpions have held their admission prices for the fourth successive season.

It will remain just £15 for an adult to watch a single Scorpions meeting at the Eddie Wright Raceway, and only £17 to watch the double-headers on Easter Sunday (April 16), April 30, Spring Bank Holiday (May 29) and Summer Bank Holiday (August 28).

Scunthorpe promoter Rob Godfrey said: “We offer one of the most attractive set of admission prices across the entire SGB Championship, and that will again be the case once more in 2017.

“We have pegged our admission prices at the same prices for the fourth successive season.

“We realise the need to provide a good value-for-money package. That doesn’t just cover the admission, but also the complete works – such as the programme and the food.

“It doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to watch speedway in Scunthorpe and that’s important if you want people to come back every week.

“And as well as keeping the prices down for supporters, we will again be going all out to make sure the racing around the Eddie Wright Raceway is second to none.

“We’re proud that many supporters from all over the country has visited and branded our racetrack the best in Britain – that means a lot to us. We’re proud to have that reputation and we want to maintain it.

“I believe we offer an unbeatable package, with plenty of entertainment and thrilling action.”

Scorpions commence their home meetings on Sunday, April 2 (5.30pm) with the visit of Peterborough Panthers in the brand-new SGB Championship.

This forthcoming Friday (March 24), Scorpions travel away to Peterborough in the corresponding fixture, where they will be looking to get their SGB Championship fixtures off to a flying start.
