Like the Toni Bou bit, he is a cracking rider, rest a bit average.

The capacity for Speedway is 62,000. I think the largest attendance so far has been 43,000. For the first time since I have been going to The millenium there is a British rider in contention. This has led to me for the first time buying tickets in advance as there is a possibility that the cheap seats will sale out. I will be surprised if the attendance does not exceed 43,000.

Any thoughts on the crowd attendance this year - over or under 40,000?

 

Id guess it will be bigger than last year with Tai 2nd and the Football season over.
