Personally you're paying £24 to watch Doyle and Emil and the top hitters of the other team. You're not paying to watch the second string or reserves. 

I’d be paying to watch all the team as I want to win the league and not selected heats. Each to their own I guess!

Not sure on that statement as you're then only watching half the races lol

I get what you mean though £24 to watch Jason and Emil is the attraction but you also have 2 bright prospects to watch develope in Brennan and Dan, the best rising star heading into the season and two other riders who on their day can score big points at Foxhall

As a complete side its probably worth more to pay to watch

Funny one

Just saying was it a coincidence that when Doyle and Emil was out injured the crowds went down massively? Exactly same team as last year apart from Tom in for Rew. 

The sport in general is at an inflated price for the action you see and that's why it's so hard to attract new fans to the sport in this country.

Tbf at that stage of the season there was nothing riding on the fixtures till the play-offs started, that could also have affected the crowds.

Any many got used to them losing and didn't want to come along and witness another loss.  Winning is attractive.  I go simply to see good racing, no matter who wins.

This isn't just Ipswich the whole league is just overpriced IMO. So hard to attract new fans when you're charging £24-£30(if you sit in some grandstands) for 15/17 mins of action depending on track size.

I’ve just watched the first half of ITFC vs Crystal Palace, and there was nothing of interest in 45+3 minutes of mostly passing the ball backwards - yet people are happy to pay £££s for that …
