Hi all,
Wow, British Speedway looks amazing in HD. You can literally count the fans - I make it 27. Welcome to slick, empty, windswept Essex as the cameras show a panorama of the M25. Nice.

Another 'hammering' coming by the looks of it.
I honestly do believe, if Lakeside was my local track growing up, I wouldn't be a speedway fan.

As a quick survey, Pearson says this is the only speedway in Britain tonight. There can be no more than 200-300 fans there. There are 11 people currently on this forum and 143 on live updates (probably including those same 11). I wonder how many people are watching on Sky given that there is live playoff football on HD1?

There is an interesting post on the BSF, General discussions section.. Speedways viewing figures actually hold up pretty well when compared to other sports. Especially given the limited promotion/press coverage etc it receives compared to other sports. Why clubs don't run promotions on Sky nights I do not know. Half price entrance they would likely get a bumper crowd. Would look far better on tv and they'd probably make more money on the night! |

Do you count those watching from other countries via illegal streams?  |

Would look far better on tv and they'd probably make more money on the night! Absolutely - as there's no attendance-related cost component, it's marginally better to get 1000 people paying half price than 500 paying full price (additional concession stand revenues as well). They probably don't see it that way though |
