I have 3 20+ children, 2 boys and a girl, only my daughter attends speedway and only for the Social side of it. One son is interested in the racing and even had a little go himself but is not fan material, the other son has not one iota of interest in speedway.
It's so hard to work out what will attract people, young people, has to be cheap, has to be colourful, interactive, exciting (ie lots of passing), good music. Loads of effort needs to go in, some promoters are putting lots of effort in, some not so. Have said for years that the promoters should poll ideas at the conference, must admit to seeing some promoting ideas being used by many which is great. Thing is are their ideas attracting more fans, I so hope so!
I really don't think stuff like doubling up concerns many young, future fans, it's the entertainment they get at their track on the night what matters imo, the interaction of their team on the night etc.
Hope none of them come on here and read any of the moaning, it'll put them off going to speedway for life, moaning old gits, I hear them say haha
