That's as large as any Championship club I've visited bar Glasgow and there's wasn't a lot larger. Redcar looked healthy but same scenario as Cradley, crowd all on one side. Newcastle , Berwick, Sheffield, Somerset very sparse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to Leicester twice and Eastbourne twice and Somerset once + Wolves twice and Cradley twice, biggest crowds were at Leicester (CL) I'd say 1200 and Eastbourne (KOC) was reported around 1400 and also over 1000 for (CS) but all early in season, I read Leicester and Eastbourne still averaging around 900-1000 with a few blips/peaks. Doubt Brummies have had more than 600 so far and Wolves/Cradley around 650 mark. Somerset looked about 500 cold night though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally think 1 league would be a disaster but equally if clubs keep folding there may only be enough teams left for one league. Don't know how the pay structure would go but when a guy like Matt Ford said that we must be looking at 1 league it just goes to show something is wrong.. I know it would be hard for some teams to keep going but there must be light at the end of the tunnel somewhere,, maybe do away with some of the foreign riders or all of them & make it a proper British League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough British riders to form two leagues and would struggle to have one at a current Championship standard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
