Absolutely right!  And of course, risking a smaller crowd.

But that's one of the issues re zero jeopardy and consequence right across all facets of the sport...

Given we are down mainly to die hard regulars, you don't massively lose punter numbers by running later in the season, and, similarly, you don't massively increase your punter numbers by being "successful"...

Hence, it really is "Groundhog Day" every season...

In last weeks Speedway Star, in the part where it goes back in time to show the headlines of the day, it had (10 years ago), a promoter saying he would close down if he couldn't sign a particular rider he wanted to bring in....

And in the 20 years ago section, it had a promoter complaining that a rival had signed a rider using an average that shouldn't have been used....

"They say we're young, and we don't know"...:D

I am old enough to remember a promoter in the late 80s or maybe very eary 90s who threatened to pull the plug cos his proopsed team was 'just' over the points limit!
