It's a vicious circle Hodgie. Build a team cheaply and crowds will be low, sign a couple of top marque riders and they will return but ONLY if the club is properly promoted. By that I mean a total rethink of admission prices. Family tickets, a proper bar, efforts made to get stay away fans to return, a total revamp of the tired looking programme and a rethink of the match day presentation.
Maybe a suggestion box by the turnstiles to see what the people really want.
This winter is a marvellous opportunity to drag Rye House Speedway out of the doldrums. Let's hope it's not wasted.
