Socram, part of the problem is the sheer number of race meetings. We are in weekend 9 of the year and about to start race meeting number 7.
With so much choice, competitors and spectators alike can pick and choose - resulting in more race meetings, fewer competitors, burned out, bored volunteers and no spectators.
MSNZ isn't at fault, organising clubs and private promoters are also to blame.
I think Southern Man summed it up quite nicely in another thread - if you think you can do a better job than the Exec, put your hand up. Elections will be held this year...
