They reallocated some seats to make it look better for the cameras. That’s apparently why the bottom tier is empty

I understand the track has been widened this year, with the 4% incline that puts the fence higher, probably meaning the bottom seats have even more restricted view than normal. So, move every one up.

I remember a time when the starting gate at Cardiff had 2 sets of tapes so that if one got broken they had another set ready to go.

Good basic entry level marketing...

Just what so many UK tracks should do when on TV..

Peterborough seemed to do something a few weeks ago, don't know if deliberate or not, but they packed people in together in the grandstand..

A much better impression of the sport than having sporadic empty seats..

 

I think it's to keep the number of stewards required to a minimum.

I get that when you have a marketing hat on but as a speedway supporter it’s papering over the cracks. Speedway need more fans at the tracks not to have a crowd look good on telly for what will predominantly be an audience made up of speedway fans as it is. They need to look at why crowds are dwindling rather than how to make them ‘look’ better imo
