I totally agree with you. Most of the people who i talk to have never been or heard of Speedway, it baffles measwell because i can here the bikes from my house when im not at the track so i dont understand why people havent been curious and gone down. We have nothing to advertise our speedway round here which saddens me because i love the atmosphere of a packed stadium and brilliant racing! The thing is Advertising costs money and some Promotors are not willing to pay that price.
I think if football teams can get 20,000 week in week out then speedway can push higher numbers than what there getting, like you said its a family sport and most familys dont know ehat to do together most nights so going to speedway is a great idea.
