Back to the race meeting attendance subject I think that in addition to the 'other distractions' already mentioned I think there is also the fact that in general, we are all just so much busier nowadays too. Most couples now both work full time in order to sustain the lifestyle we've been encouraged by advertisers that is 'normal' which means that all of the other incidental stuff (including on occasions, relaxation) has to be packed into the only two days that we have off each week, so this too leaves less spare time for the casual race fan to pop along to a meeting if he or she fancies it.
