PhilTheAce Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Leicester moving up is what I’m hearing. But will only be a 7 team league. Not 6. So better but still not good enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilTheAce Posted September 13, 2022 Report Share Posted September 13, 2022 Get rid of the fixed race night, even if we have a few R/Rs or guests (something we are use to. Fans will still come if it’s on there preferred race night. More riders will be available this winter so it won’t impact as much as people think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middlo's testimonial showed I do kinda miss watching riders like Jack Holder and Jason Doyle every week. Even Brady!! Not sure we can be going up and down all the time though.

Think Belle Vue need to get out and about with something like that set up.

Glasgow, Plymouth, Oxford, Leicester etc. What difference would that make? Recently, Glasgow celebrated a record attendance of 1,931 ... being a city is irrelevant. Ipswich has a population of 130,000+ and draws from the wider areas of Suffolk and north Essex. King's Lynn & west Norfolk has an area population of 150,000+. Over 22,000 were at Portman Road on a Tuesday night to watch 3rd Division football, so there is an appetite for a night out to watch sport ... even paying £30 to sit in cramped plastic buckets.

Exactly what I was thinking! Birmingham is a city and they have been struggling with attendances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
