I stiil attend most BSBK rounds at Brands since I have a season ticket every year and it's still a scrum on race day but thinking back to when Brands used to host the WSBK as well, I remember parking up and walking round to South Bank around 7am on race day to find most of the decent vantage points had already gone. I think it was 2000 when Bayliss/Edwards/Corsa/Haga etc were racing and by 9am there wasn't a blade of grass to be seen anywhere. The crowd was in excess of 100,000 I think and it took me 2 hours to get out of the car park and back on the A20. A few years later when Toseland did the double I think the attendance was much the same and even the current BSBK rounds in particular the final, always attract massive knowledgeable crowds, a far cry from most of the club meetings I usually attend.
