They are now a tiny fraction of what they were ten years ago. For example, the Ipswich Daily Star circulation is now 8,600 a day. The population of Ipswich is 133,000....so the pages of coverage reaches very readers. All of the content is also available immediately online free of charge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skid Sprocket Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 (edited) I have always said that the commercial press and radio have to publish and broadcast to suit their shareholders (understandably) but when it comes to local and national BBC radio and t.v. the commercial side should take a back seat and they should concentrate non mainstream stories.

Proper sized, shaped, prepared tracks would do more to address the amount of injuries than slowing the bikes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 On 5/30/2018 at 8:20 PM, martinmauger said: The local Asda now displays a smallish range of leaflets advertising local attactions: animal parks, stately homes etc. Well today I picked one up which is all about Santa Pod Raceway, drag racing, and it occured to me that speedway could benefit from such a leaflet campaign. I seem to recall leaflets depicting speedway info & fixtures were available at tracks in mid 2000's. The numbers of leaflets in Asda of the same subject increase and decrease so are at least some are being picked up and replaced. Interestingly none of the leaflets I've seen in offer any kind of discount just the basic info: what, where, when and how much. Just sayin'.... I think it depends where the track is. If there are a lot of people who are only temporarily in the area, then its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moxey63 Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Catching a few recent meetings on the box, noticed the age demographic of the average fan. Perhaps a novel idea would be for the sport to team up with local undertakers and funeral directors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late for the sport its already dead and buried, but the last few hundred watching might take up a money off offer. Would it have a use before date ?
