As I've posted elsewhere, punters didn't turn out for the qualifier either yet they will turn out to watch a load of contrived teams each week, although admittedly not in great numbers... it's a real head scratcher 🤔 There's nothing really riding on winning other than a GP place, which doesn't resonate with the punters.. (It cannot mean much can it, given riders actively get the option to withdraw from being part of it).. Maybe every promoter putting £5k in to generate some "decent money" to use in the advertising would help?.. (If there is any advertising obviously)... A 3,000 crowd would generate £80k plus and deliver an event that might stimulate some further "outside" interest.. Moving from the NSS this year at least would have delivered more fans I would suggest, but the racing, wherever else it was held, wouldn't be anywhere near as good... The biggest night in domestic Speedway and hardly any advertising at all has been done.. That is the key problem the sport has... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Promoting? Race night ? Tv ? Combination of all, something different but for the future of the sport do something We will only let them out when the white smoke appears.... 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are preaching to the converted though... Next week the Aces are at home again, so another meeting for their fans... It is the 2.75 million who live within a 45 minute drive of the NSS and the 80 million who live in the UK who you need to target... Expecting Aces fans to attend in "the usual numbers" when they have paid out such outlay for the GP's already was folly... And zero was done to attract anyone else from elsewhere...

TTT Posted Monday at 08:51 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:51 PM The best race you'll see all season, Every rider had the lead in that Heat. Proof that you don't need 15,000 fans and a dozen Polish drummers to produce a great Speedway meeting. The fans in attendance certainly got their money's worth tonight. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
