POOLE promoter Matt Ford is encouraging supporters to take advantage of a reduced pricing structure for the second leg of their Elite League play-off semi-final against Lakeside.Next Mondays meeting is now not being televised live, but admission is down to 13 for adults, 10 for OAPs and 1 for accompanied children.Ford said: The only way to actually see our destiny unfold is to be at the stadium on the night and be part of the excitement. This is a golden era for the club, but we are not in the final yet and we want as many fans to cheer us into the final if possible.My message to everyone is: Come and jump on the bandwagon and enjoy the biggest meetings of the season over the next month at the Poole Speedwaystarting next Monday.

SCUNTHORPE have rewarded Jason Bunyan for a fine display against Glasgow last week with another guest booking for their play-off clash with Edinburgh on Sunday.Bunyan scored 12+1 despite a dash to arrive on-time due to traffic problems, and he stands in again for Thomas Jorgensenwhilst at Armadale on Friday the Scorpions will use rider-replacement for the Dane and Kevin Doolan guests for David Howe.Scunthorpe boss Richard Hollingsworth said: The traffic on the M1 last Friday was a bit of a nightmare, and Jason got stuck in that. He arrived pretty much as the meeting started at 7.30pm, having changed into his leathers in the van.But he didnt let that put him off his stride at all. With a gap of nine days between home fixtures, the usual restriction on guests doesnt apply. So we didnt delay and booked Jason for the second successive home meeting.

MILDENHALL will hold their usual admission prices on Sunday for what has become a double-header clash with the Isle of Wight.The meeting will start an hour earlier than normal at 3.30pm to take in the National League Play-Off semi-final between the two clubs followed by a re-staged National Trophy match.Fen Tigers promoter Michael Lee said: It's a buy-one-get-one-free thank you to our magnificent fans, who've backed us home and away through another successful season, and have still turned out in big numbers despite the awful weather we've had this summer.Thanks to the weather, trying to fit everything in on the few available dates we have between now and the end of October is proving to be a real headache, especially trying to avoid more clashes with the Premier League play-offs as well.(SPEEDWAY 4)
