The BIGGEST problem, is EDUCATING the Public to Pay!, for too long, they have gotten to see races for free, it has become a way of life for them , and they actually do begrudge paying.
Many years ago, i used to work on saturdays, never got to to races!, anyway, i was off work with an injury, ad the race of the year was at aghadowey, mick grant, dave griffiths etc were there, we were going through the gate to pay in, i was in the back seat, with my money at the ready, and the driver asks how much!, what ever the price was, it was a bit more for this meeting, due to the extra prize money and star riders!, and when he was told how much ( think it was 7 quid), he asked, " is kenny Roberts riding?", i was so embarrassed, but he and the others in the car just didnt want to pay the extra, BUT they DID want to see the quality riders
