I agree Jan. Industry participants being negative cause industry outsiders to be negative.
The industry needs to keep up with the youth by giving them what they want. Just saw a pic of my local Busselton trots on opening night and the crowd is literally half what it normally is. I bet the club has been complacent in driving interest, relying on historical hype to drive numbers. You can't do that. Get the youth interested with live bands, food trucks, warm facilities and seating, and education. Too many old people on the committee stuck in their ways. Don't talk about how it's dying, talk about how we're improving things and do just that
