I don't feel it is down to price at all. Living in Hoddesdon, I would pay an extra £10-£15 in fuel going to either Peterborough or Lakeside, and the Lakeside track being even more slick than Rye, the racing there is not much better.
I have 2 kids and for an evenings entertainment we can all go for £20. No other proffessional sport would offer that. Lets cut the negativity on this forum and get behing both the Rockets & Hawks and make sure we have the sort of racing and support this club and town deserve...
