The were then hoping that these freebies would spend their money on food, drinks or merchandise. Which is fine when that spending goes to the speedway club (and a sensible plan where it is the case) Unfortunately it is a small minority of clubs that could attempt that strategy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20 Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 I really like and admire the way Glasgow promote there club and riders. I don't agree the way they spend money after admitting how much they have been looking but it's their money not mine. The social media is great but I just don't see more fans returning. You have Cook again who brings fans in himself without any doubt. I was surprised at the numbers watching last season when Workington visited especially in the play off semi final. The crowd of that size does not pay the bills. You had a winning team most of last season until Cook got injured so my point is even after all the superb promotion of the Tigers the goal is more fans through the turnstiles. It not a dig in any way just that if Glasgow with the best rider in the league promoting the sport the way they do in a major massive city can not get enough fans through the turnstiles what hope have the rest of the club's ?

SharpenRake Posted December 9, 2018 Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 One major problem was the fixture list last year or rather the lack of weekly fixtures. we also raced on Sundsays, Tuesday night and even a Saturday afternoon as well as our preferred Fridays. The crowds for some meetings were good and then it seemed to be weeks before we raced again as a team. I think a lot of momentum was lost and with Cooks injury, racing at short notice and on off nights plus the weather, the crowd did seem to drop of. Hopefully the meetings will be held on a weekly basis and on the same day - presumably Fridays? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could post this on every thread in every league because who rides where is of no interest to people in the real world ( outside of the speedway "bubble" ) who have never heard of the sport. And yes, if a free-spending, well-financed club like Glasgow can't pull in 2 - 3,000 fans to every match, certainly no-one else can anywhere in the UK. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSK Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Glasgow promotion would get more fans back if they reinstated the concession for OAP’s.i know quite a lot of people who have supported the Tigers over the years have not returned since this concession was stopped last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerforever Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 Got to give the two new reserves a chance as it seems all the so called best two pointers have been snapped up. could be tough on a few away trips with Cookie no doubt taking a TR at most away venues When you see Garcia and young Flint at Berwick at reserve ours looks uninspired, big pressure on the top 5 to score every week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect to the young lads but not exactly what is needed, once again we appear to have went down the wrong route in team building only my opinion of course and I would love to be proved wrong but I doubt it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
