Tsunami Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 If that were totally true then the EL would have been operating squads 4-5 years ago; and the EDR would have started in the PL NOT the EL!! EL needed it, but PL didn't want it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 If it was down to disposable income then Lakeside should have the biggest crowds in speedway, with the highest-paid peeps living in London/Essex/South-East. Them and Belle Vue in Greater Madchester should have the biggest crowds, massive catchment areas of millions compared to rural Dorset. The south-west, which includes Swindonia, doesn't have the high salaries in comparison to the south-east. Shouldn't think many of the millionaires from Sandbanks go to speedway! Poole do well to attract speedway's biggest crowds, still paltry though compared to years ago, when 4000 was a crap attendance at Blunsdon! now 2000 is a "massive" crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football, cricket, rugby league and even rugby union are all chasing the same crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
