Thats the thing isn't it? The 'base of the pyramid' are genuinely enjoying their sport on a shoe-string.
I believe it is crucially important that organisers/officials etc never lose sight of this.
When the cost to fun ratio gets out of whack people find other things to do.
It is also important for those who are trying to drum up interest in a 'series' of any type. It doesn't take much to derail 6 - 8 of your 16 entries at seasons start - as we've seen over the years.
