Baring in mind only 35% of the 1000 were regular speedway goers... If it's such a bargain, why are the crowds so low. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they are low income, unemployed. I'm not rich but food on the table or a night's speedway, I would 1 million percent, go for food. These people, who keep saying clubs will die if you don't attend, get in the real world £40 for speedway or feed a family for a week, it's a no brainer really aint it 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deano 1,318 Posted December 3, 2021 Plus promoters spend that much on riders and rent there’s then no cash for advertising and presentation. The final two are what generally contribute getting people through the turnstiles. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by the high percentage of those living over 20 miles from a track, I'd say that was a big factor! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
