The big difference with bangers is that the drivers PAY to race so you get income from the paying public but don’t pay out the salaries that you do for speedway riders. -
I was at Scunny at the start of the season and was shocked by the low numbers. Us comets fans probably made up a high percentage of the total.

The boundary of Bournemouth literally starts 5 miles away from the track so I think it should be pretty relevant, given there's another 200k people living there. If you add the nearby towns to Workington which are further away, you'll be adding 8k (Cockermouth) 24k (Whitehaven) and 10k (Maryport) if you use the whole west coast of Cumbria. I think it's nonsense that it's to suggest Workington have low crowds, crowds are what i'd expect given our catchment area tbh. There was less at Scunthorpe on Friday night than what Workington get. Also success does not equal level of crowds either, you could argue there was less going to Derwent Park when we won the Championship treble in 2018. If Workington get 800 one meeting and Poole get 2000 for example, there is about 1 in 172 people attending Speedway on the South Coast, and 1 in 83 attending in West Cumbria, and that's covering 4 towns.
