waytogo28 2,054 Posted June 24, 2017 MUCH lower No actual figures then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humphrey Appleby 13,958 Posted June 24, 2017 No actual figures then? The audited circulation was about 12,000 a few years ago. If I remember, Philippe subsequently told us that didn't include subscription copies, and total circulation was around 18,000. Since then, he's mentioned it's dropped a lot lower. I'm just stating what facts I remember - not making comment on them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted June 24, 2017 (edited) No actual figures then? NO... our circulation is obviously dependent on how many people attend speedway. That figure has dropped dramatically over the past five years. The lack of continuity of fixtures has also devastated track sales. If people don't attend very week (or as near as damn it) they don't buy on a regular basis. It isn't rocket science of course. The audited circulation was about 12,000 a few years ago.

waytogo28 2,054 Posted June 24, 2017 So are we led to guess that it is under 10,000 - all kind of sales included? Don't say 5,000. I hope that I don't end up as the last subscription reader! How nigh is the end? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RedcarRacer 228 Posted July 2, 2017 I bought it this week for the first time in a while - I don't buy at track but do I have see in supermarket. Enjoyed it. Get a bit bored by the layout of the leagues etc and team news and have never liked Grasstrack news but that is a personal thing. Content was good - keep it up Phil. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
