Have a look here at the crowd there on Saturday  - evening racing is halfway through video.

 

I’ve never got the appeal of oval car racing personally but you can see from the number of spectators in that video exactly why speedway has to play second fiddle to the stocks and bangers.

I sure as hell didn't count them but I've been to KL NL meetings plenty of times and it was a vastly larger than they enjoyed ...

By far the smallest crowd I have seen at a Stars home meeting this season.

I'm going purely on the amount of cars in the car park,and that most certainly wouldn't have been the lowest.Unless of course every car only had one person in it:lol:

Far end car park had more cars in because middle car park was closed due to extra seating in place for stock cars. I thought the crowd was very poor.

To be fair, that stock car meeting was, apparently, a World Final.

If you had a World Speedway final there you'd get at least a similar crowd.

It was but crowds for even the bog standard car meetings far exceed what we get for speedway.

Crowds for the average stock cars meeting at King's Lynn are quite deceiving to the general public. 

While it does look far more spectators than Speedway, 20-30% of the crowd are actually the drivers families and mechanics that don't pay to get in. 

On average, I'd say the stock car crowds are not that much larger, about 200-300 more. 

As a business though for Buster, with Speedway he has to pay money out, with Stocks money is only coming in. 

Just on that basis stock cars take priority over Speedway.
