£15 and All kids free was for the Colts.. Men and Motors was the local channel with around 652 viewers... There hasnt been an advert on local radio for around 20 years that I have heard.. The MEN don't cover Speedway anymore but the Tameside "Whatever" does.. Tremendous reach in Tameside... Not seen 100's of kids from any school on an organised visit once, but do remember "Junior Vue" which seemed to be quite popular in the 90's, maybe that could get started sgain? Never seen any billboards used other than for GPs and SON... Never seen any bikes in city centre Manchester... And as for flyers, fairs, etc, etc etc, its 2026... TV watching is the lowest it has ever been so going out on local TV news won't make much (any) difference... One of the Sunday League teams I mentioned who got over 1000 watching them has their own YouTube Vlog which has over 5000 subscribers... Another Sunday League team has a YouTube Vlog with over 152,000 subscribers, and got 4,000 to a Sunday League final a couple of years ago.. An easy, cheap, 2026, way for Speedway Clubs to promote themselves, with riders' personalities being shown... My local football team Stockport County, when in their non league days, did pretty much what it looks like the Aces has tried, but they did it with a "County in the Community" team dedicated to visiting schools, organising visits to the ground, both on match days and not, and then doing follow ups with the schools to keep that communication going... And doing things like painting local eyesores, organising litter picks etc, making a difference to the local community, but, more importantly, showing fhe local community they still existed... They gave out thousands of free tickets to schools and community projects, as they may as well fill the empty seats and spaces in the terraces, (and earn more in the food and drink outlets),  but ensured it wasnt a one off and followed up with the attendees to encourage more repeat visits.. They also dropped ticket prices from their league two days as they knew crowds would drop if they didn't... They reduced their wage bill, so reduced fhe admission fee.. Speedway would benefit hugely from that I would think, would one less HL and SS make any difference to the spectacle? And then use that money to drop prices... Running the Aces for £20, on a Saturday, with all kids in for free, would deliver a much larger crowd than paying £27, and whatever a kids fee is in the grandstand, on a Monday night... Dan and Brady wouldn't be there but fhe DU'ers would, so a decent level.. There is still a reasonable following for Speedway, as the play offs often show, its just getting these numbers to attend regularly being the challenge.. Laying out not far off £30, and on a Monday night, won't meet that challenge...

This is the thing he never explains himself clearly his logic is that ruuning speedway is not viable anymore and the new track at Studley is. but for some reason hes determined to see the abbey knocked down even before Studley is built and up and running . With gaming int record quite clearly the supporters are not going to let it  be knocked down before Studley is built. Park at no time has said that studley is dependent on funds being raised by houses being build at the Abbey.thou quite cleary thats the only reason gaming int would  be having anything to do with studley project .

In my experience Nora is a clear step down from NDL. The lack of a league is, to me, a massive disadvantage: each Nora meeting is standalone. Also, the meetings I have seen run to a baffling, contrived formula which, I was told on here is what clubs choose to do. Nora better than nothing, however, and I will support on hope of NDL next year 

Never in public .  Park said last night no one had came forward..as i always said if like what they were saying was true and they were losing money why not club up for sale and let someone have a go at running. It.At no time in public did they ever do this and they left the abbey saying it was not a viable option to run speedway there.. Now you have to  question why someone would do that and what the motive would be .

Belle Vue regularly dropped admission charges to £15 or less with any number of kids free. They ran on a Sunday afternoon to help boost crowds. 99.9% of the 2.75 million didn’t care that Dan & Brady wasn’t riding but the problem was nobody turned up, well 500 on a good day. They couldn’t even get speedway fans to attend even though they had been told six days before that it was happening.  When you add in the fact that they have repeatedly tried …… Have an advert on local radio over an extended period of time.  Have an advert in local newspapers over an extended period of time.  Have an advertising board on some of the busiest roads in Manchester.  Have posters in shops and businesses.  Had out flyers in local shopping areas.  Have a float or attend local fairs and carnivals.  Attend local & national trade shows.  Give out free tickets to schools and businesses.  Take bikes and merchandise into schools to accompany the talk they deliver on the sport.  Have a standing display of bike, suits & merchandise in the city centre.  Be featured on local tv news’s 4 or 5 times between March and October.  Have a regular editorial in local papers.  Have a 30 minute highlights programme on a local tv satellite station.  Form a tie up with local groups and offer free entry and supporters club membership.  Attend (and win) local sports team of the year awards.  Constant bombardment of social media posts across all the mayor platforms. I’m a speedway nut but I’ve more than halved my attendance due to the fact that the majority is boring sh^%<e!
