Support for the various football codes filters down to grass roots level and the managers at the of the other major sports are also the managers of the sport at community level and for children.
V8 Supercar is not, and Cochrane is famously on record denying any responsibility towards lower levels of the sport.
Those big stadia are a facility in use by many. Those big street circuits are not.
All that having been said, how hard would it be to be less combative towards some critics when rewards could be there?
The flip side of that is to doubt Cochrane's style of management is to doubt Cochrane himself. How much pain is worth all the other things Cochrane brings to the sport? So far all an sundry seem more than happy with the balance.
