As others have said, interest has unfortunately dropped off this season as there's been lack of continuity due to a combination of rain offs and not enough teams in the league to sustain weekly fixtures, don't think Saturday afternoons and cost have much to do with it as plenty people seem to be able to put time and money aside to go to football/rugby, there's definitely a lack of reporting in local papers and TV compared to when the speedway was at Derwent Park, and maybe the location has something to do with it being 'out of the way'?
