    Crowd levels were poor on saturday nights for years in lens days (In old prem league days), same teams coming to rye yr after yr .

    The solution last yr was to go top flight on a sat night was met with great crowds, best levels since the 70s

    Then the fixed race night has ruined it and the bspa, i dont know the solution now prob too much damage has been done to british speedway now.

    Ben i will stand with you on the top of the jump

    2nd tier racing aint much different in pricing riders or crowds

    Either way no tv deal in 2nd tier which now matches top tier

    Other sources are needed, i would like a ground like a polish track but im realistic

    You cant keep everyone happy,it dosn't happen at least we own our own stadium a few teams could hit probs this yr without good backing and loss of tv money

    Its a shame some people have been creaming the money in at bspa and others over the yrs regarding tv money

    Ie russel and chapman 

    Bent as f$$k comes to mind☺

    Without other financial sources speedway will not run!!!

    Hmmm

     

    Seems not a lot has changed then since I last visited about 28 years ago....

     

    Having said that Lakeside was hardly utopiah. That seemed to have same facilities since it opened back in the year dot. A toilet visit was both a challenge and a health hazard. Flippers were needed on some occasions.

     

    It's sad that I even make jest of some of our stadia in such a manner but unfortunately its true.

     

    Anyway I hope Rye do invest a bit of money to give supporters the facilities they deserve for the new Prem. Good luck and fortune to all involved and well done for making such a brave move.

    I think most speedway stadiums are a state, and have had very few if any improvements for years.

    People expect better facilities nowdays thats half the prob why people dont go

    Also rh is lucky to have a great location next to the river/ pub and the train station a two min walk.

    Surely the new owners should promote at some of these stations or on the trains?

    Maybe a discount on admisson with valid train ticket? Or a free programme.

    Only ideas i will prepare to be shot down.

    Putting the riders to one side for a moment, i would like to see the following improvements at the stadium

    1.new decent bar area

    2.a raised viewing area outside old long bar

    3.the same as above bends 1 & 2 but a permanent stucture for both

    4. A decent shop,not a boot sale table

     

    What improvements would you like to see done to the stadium?
