Find a facility with a larger capacity and the fans will come. 20-25k might come but that would still be half of what Cardiff was getting near its peak from what Mike has said it seems to me the current business model is go for a much smaller crowd of 5-6k over two nights but apply the maximum soak you can get away with when it comes to prices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldace Posted 21 hours ago Report Share Posted 21 hours ago Why would Manchester be different to anywhere else? Check the number of 'rain offs' at the NSS far fewer than at most tracks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides the odd few seasons the Cardiff track was awful year in year out. Thats the main reason why attendance dropped by supporters.

ShanoXtra Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago (edited) All that money for the temp stand and it’s two years in a row they can’t sell the Friday out. Surely it is hitting them financially as a club negatively?! Any news on Bewleys replacement!l for Belle Vue yet? Edited 1 hour ago by ShanoXtra .

Surely it is hitting them financially as a club negatively?! Any news on Bewleys replacement!l for Belle Vue yet? Hoping we get an upgrade like we did at the first SWC held there... Blocks A and B will be on camera most of the evening given there will be a camera covering the home straight, so making it look full would be a priority for me if running the event... Even a crowd of 12,000 will generate well over a million, so even if the Aces only make £150k or so profit that is still around five domestic matches worth of income... Maybe Mark Lemon will be speaking with riders this weekend to see if they want to come over?... Good luck with that, if so, especially given the current injuries sustained out of Poland by some top riders... I see Janowski got stopped from riding in Sweden on Tuesday by Wroclaw...
