True Geoff both clubs aided each other financially. As I've said I'm a follower of the Town RL and the Comets, mostly involved behind the scenes with Town. I invariably fought verbally on behalf of the Comets - not easy as there was bad feelings to deal with. I know several of the Town board personally, more past than present members of the board to be honest. And these gents/ladies do "pump money into the RL club". At least both clubs do assist each other via fixtures i.e. Comets are Saturday events and Town play on Sundays. I'm fairly sure the speedway will be racing again soon.

what were Leicester supposed to do though? Just because were dragging our heels trying to get a side (if you can call it that) together. Leicester need to promote something. 

Yes. If not exactly 3000, certainly very close. Maybe 2999

does anyone really believe Shovlar when he says there were 3k in attendance?

Just got this weeks copy... Some great interviews with Ben Barker, Charles Wright and Armando Castagna... Ben suggesting we need one league with fewer riders per team so more rides per rider next season... Inside info? Woffy too has an indepth interview about his crash and convalescence... A consistently excellent publication which shines the sport in a professionally good light...

Not being funny, but that kind of 'marketing' is the reason speedway is deep in the trouble it is. Advertising these days involves digital, paid for social media advertising and utilises platforms like Instagram and TikTok. I'm not saying there's no place for old fashioned promotion, but there needs to be far bigger thinking and a much better product if speedway has any chance to continue as a professional team sport.
