manchesterpaul Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Do any of our international correspondents know if this photo was taken during or before the meeting? Slovenia versus Croatia crowd? Ideally anyone know the attendance for the match? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomazpozrl Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I think this photo was taken just before the riders presentation. So yes, that's the whole crowd for this meeting. Only around 150 people there. One of the reasons for poor attendance was an unusual date (Friday evening), as people in Lendava are used to seeing meetings on Saturdays or Sundays. It was also pretty cold and rain was forecasted in the evening. But most of all, unfortunately there is not much interest for speedway in Lendava these days ...

spanner47 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Went there for a U21 qualifier last season on a Saturday night, not many that night either. Shame, because it's a very good track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally your 'Slovenian News' thread was out of sight when i posted this thread. I would have used that if i had seen it. I hope publicity and attendances improve for the sport. Also hope that it isn't a case of more people read the slovenian news on your thread here than read of it in Slovenia!. Is it just that particular track struggles or the sport as a whole. Only i'm sure a couple of years ago when replying to a thread in the SGP section, i pointed out that the SGP attendances for tracks in eastern europe compared favourably with those nations international football attendances. I'll have to grab the time to do a search. Many thanks for the news updates and results. I'm always very interested in the well being of the sport in other countries.
