Cracking venue. Crowd would have only been around 2000, as that is currently the number of tickets available for events at the moment, info on startrax ticket information page. Speedway would be delighted at a weekly crowd of 2000. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is correct, presumably limit will increase for stockcars. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't the Government guideline 4K or half capacity whichever is the lower, No doubt in the Rugby the players, management and physios etc count towards the 4K. Thats what happens at Football in stadiums with the 4K limit 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grand Central 2,654 Posted June 1, 2021 Videos of Odsal online from last night show crowd obviously well in excess of 2000 as some have suggested here. 4k looks more likely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deano 1,318 Posted June 1, 2021 Let’s hope Steve Rees pulls in really decent crowds, gets his investment back and some. Speedway could then leap frog on his success at some point in the future. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was there last night. I believe the official limit was 4,000 and It looked to be somewhere around that mark. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Speedway is second best when it comes to numbers of spectators / profitability etc. then you have to accept that , and be thankful that the Stock Car promoter is happy to share a track with speedway Too many Speedway fans moan about sharing a stadium with Stock Cars, greyhounds, etc. yet it is often the other activities that keep the stadium going as a business 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stadium upgrade wouldnt have happened with just Speedway income I would have thought.. I believe this year Odsal has the World Final so maybe that will impact the KL finances? It does appear that a great many things help "subsidise" lots of Speedway clubs to compete, as the fan numbers dont always cover the costs, so whether fans like it or not, sometimes you just have to accept it and live with it.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
