At the very least it should be cheaper for the seats for TV meetings to encourage people to congregate there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Complete exaggeration, 600 in grandstand (easy to estimate as each block holds 300). The south stand holds 1200 and is about half full so that makes attendance about 1200. Not great but not terrible when it’s on TV and first Monday after school holidays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikebv 10,243 Posted June 3, 2019 (edited) Fair play to the camera man... Keeps zooming in far enough to show 20 fans together... Edit: He's just done it again. .. Maybe they will all swap seats for the next time to make it look like it's a different section? Edited June 3, 2019 by mikebv 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s opening up now so he should score a few. I still fancy Ipswich to win this. They are vastly underrated and I’ll hold my hands up, I was one. They are so solid right across the team.

The racing tonight has been more than resonable so far.. If this was Poland there would be a great atmosphere given some of the close racing... Sadly, even good close racing hardly raises more than a polite round of applause when your sat on your own.. If 1700 Aces fans had been in the Grandstand having been charged a tenner to get in.. And Ippo had brought a coach load who had either been let in for free or charged a fiver to sit in their own part of the stand.. You would have atmosphere and 'proper celebrations'... And a great advert for the sport.. And who knows maybe some watching might think it worth visiting? Edited June 3, 2019 by mikebv 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
