That is one of the problems, they are relying on fans bailing them out.There are getting fewer in numbers in recent seasons.472 is comparable with the lowest attendances at a few other tracks .IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something the small-minded brigade would probably cite as a "money bags" factor. But really we need to keep all speedway clubs going, all of us, although sadly that concept would be too much for the partisan and vindictive-minded among us. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see that as well. But there's fewer people following the sport and however its done, if we all want speedway to continue, we're going to have to pay more on average (no pun intended) per head to support it and enable the sport to continue. Partly for that reason as time has gone on I've become less partisan and more appreciative of all clubs and just appreciate the sport. That's why I don't like to see vindictiveness being shown, it isn't banter, its vindictiveness and just no need for it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
