Part of the problem I think stems from the fact that circuits now charge so much for track hire that they don't really need spectators hence don't feel a need to promote the smaller Club events, and in some instances, Clubs are not allowed to promote them theirselves!!!
Indeed I feel the spectators become a necessary evil, in that the more spectators - the more Circuit staff/security needed to look after them. This I think is the reason why more grandstands are not open - for insurance and Health & Safety purposes they need to be staffed. I'm sure 3 or 4 extra paying spectators in 1 stand is not economicaly viable!
