Ever since SoN tickets went on sale, crowds for BV meetings have been down, fans had to pay out big expense and then couldn't go to the next few meetings. SoN tickets should have gone on sale in February in my opinion.
Pre-sales of grandstand tickets give an indication of what the crowd will be like, todays pre-sales are double that of King's Lynn last week but still 200-300 down on a usual bank holiday meeting against local rivals.
This morning rain and news of R/R for Kurtz will put off quite a few who pay on the day.
