Do they not have people sitting in the restaurant as well though ?

It was a poor decision and he knows it, however it was a split second decision. Magic made a mistake and slowed up Emil coming out of the bend, Doyle carried a lot of speed running higher in the dirt line and soon as he straightened up you could see he had a lot of speed and with Emil moving over to give magic room, Doyle had to either get off the throttle completely (which could have been deemed the right decision) or cut back to the inside line to avoid hitting Emil on the straight. I think soon as Doyle came into the corner he thought magic and Emil had more speed and would drift out but they clamped down tight and Doyle just had to try and make the best of a bad judgement call. It was all made from the exit of the bend beforehand, people making out like he just completely dive bombed it which isn’t the case.

I think I you're being too kind to Doyle, if Ipswich needed a 5-1 or 4-2, you could easily say "he had to make a split second decision and just got it wrong", but with the scores as they were he shouldn't have been trying to squeeze through gaps. I will give him credit for trying to put on a show for the fans, but should've rode like Emil did in the re-run, still trying to win, but not doing anything daft 😉

There was around 200-300 people max in that stand on the home straight in a small area. Bearing in mind that their break even will be around 1200, where are the other thousand?

Not sure exactly who you mean by "Coventry", but as someone who has spent their whole life around stock car racing, and therefore knowing many people involved at all levels of the sport, I can assure you that those involved in the consortium have more than enough money to bring the stadium back to a decent standard to reopen. It may not have the facilities initially that it had previously, but the backgrounds and businesses of some of them will also assist in the process, with one of them having recently been involved in major construction projects at 2 other oval venues.

Just watched back the highlights. Clearly way more than 30 on three and four. And big crowd standing in front of stand as well as those inside.
