Rob B 1,255 Posted September 23, 2018 21 minutes ago, mikebv said: So is the total capacity around just 3000? The Grandstand is just under 1800.. Thought I read it was 5,000 when they opened not including that West Terrace that got removed? Didnt they get 7,000 for the SWC Final with an extra 2000 seating on the third and fourth turns..? 3,000 seems a little low... Yes total current capacity is 3020. The South stand was removed at end of 2016 and they installed a smaller one at start of 2017 to reduce costs, they could extend it if required for larger events. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too much of an optimistic outlook for what crowds you expect to generate is it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On Saturday evening Craig confirmed that there is broken bone, but he said he had movement and wanted to ride. Nothing has been said since, I suspect it would be stiff Sunday morning.

I think Rob is also getting it from Twitter. Replying to someone late on Saturday who suggested it might hopefully be a sprain Craig tweeted; "Broken bones but think I’m ok."

Such a shame, BV never seem to have much luck when it comes to the playoffs. Hope they can get a good guest, if it is Batch he will love to stuff KL, so plenty of incentive there!
