Tigers Announce 'Significant' Crowd Increase
Posted 21/08/06

In an item on today's local teletext pages, Glasgow Tigers co-promoter Alan Dick has reported a significant increase in crowd numbers this season, being quoted as stating 'Its brilliant news'.

The crowd level from March to August increased by 12% over last years figure, whilst looking at the period since Tigers hit the top of the league last month the increase is around 20%.

Obviously the figures are in comparison to last seasons lows which had the promotion considering whether or not to continue, but it is still good news for Glasgow Speedway and Alan is also quoted as estimating it could result in a £20,000 boost for the Tigers over the season.

Although the implication in the article is that it is Glasgow's good form this season which has resulted in increased crowds, the Tigers have undoubtedly reaped the benefits of the STARs initiatives, the recent publicity received over the 'Design a Race Jacket' for the 60th anniversary and the existing support spreading the word and encouraging friends and colleagues to come along.

Long may it continue!
