Thank you

It's the reaction of the fans, with everything at stake. I suggested they consider their reaction if it had been a Witch making such a pass a Star, and the Witch had been excluded ... 

The Aces would, just as we have with Max to Leicester when they moved up and it was great to see Tom riding at number 1 last season at Birmingham.  We wouldn’t want to and it’s hard to see our lads moved on after the work put in but there is a bigger picture here. 

That’s amazing and has to be applauded. When you take into account you had the best crowds in the league back then, to increase them without the top stars, the cost of living crisis and many other factors impacting the sport, Poole really need to be coaching other clubs on how they increase crowds from an already healthy level. Well done. 

I do feel you're not comparing apples with apples here, The Open is the SGP series, PL Speedway is the tour matches that don't attract all of the top stars but only a few at a time. You do make a good point about the timings... like PL running in a Monday and Thursday

Or in summary... A lineal decline in the UK since 2000 with not much at all done to even slow the decline down, let alone reverse it... Just listened to the R&A CEO talking about fan engagement and how the top stars' tee times go out to balance Europe and USA TV coverage... And that the slow play has meant the afternoon top stars finishing in front of half empty grandstands at 17 and 18 which "isn't a good look" for those non golf fans who they are trying to engage... He also said the the top stars need to be focused on because "every sport needs a shop window", and the best competitors provide that, especially to attract kids to the sport who see the best as being their aspiration... Amazing that UK Speedway believe something the complete opposite is the way forward..
