Maybe more plus a decent smattering on the back straight? So 1500ish? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe the fans are making the most of it while they can. I suppose given all things yes encouraging if guessed at about 1500ish the Grandstand had some sections nearer to the 1st /2nd and 3/4th bends closed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Come on, let's have a touch more positivity. It's not all bad you know. If there was 1200 in the stand, and i think there was more. Add the rest and minimum was 1500 imho. Kelv said something like " Big up to the management to get riders in" referring to the 2 new lads There is only Buster since Johnson/MT bailed. Yet he don't care?? ... Hope Lynn gets Paddy next season and MT steps up for the Panthers.. Don't hold your breath Panthers fans. I've been slagged off all season. by many. Lets see what MT and CJ does next season.... I'll be more than happy to admit i was wrong.. Edited August 21, 2023 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pleasureboy60 123 Posted August 21, 2023 Some great racing tonight even though the make up of the track is not ideal. Criminal that the best race track in the country will soon be a housing estate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No thanks to them.. Edited August 21, 2023 by Bald Bloke 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted August 21, 2023 (edited) I think next week's crowd vs Ipswich is going to be huge. I think it will exceed 2,500. Last bank holiday meeting ever Last chance to see Emil race in Britain Great weather Edited August 21, 2023 by BassoRacingFan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But ain't you concerned with certain people who gave it the big one, ensuring you run next season more important?
