All the people that have signed up to the facebook campaign & have supported the campaign with e-mails etc need to get out & buy tickets to watch race meetings regularly....for several years to come. And encourage their friends. That's far more important than turning up once, on a day in March

That's exactly what was suggested to Leroy elsewhere that he regarded as "negative". Donington is a huge commercial undertaking, this isn't like protesting against government fuel taxes. Donington is likely to need millions of pounds of investment to bring it up to standard
A campaign to encourage attending club and national racing would be a great idea that would have a knock on effect throughout the sport.
