Mark, You are right and the answer to that is simple.
Usually, at club meetings, the takings from the gate are slim and dont even cover the cost of cleaning up the place after the event.
Hence all the closed grandstands....
MSV take a bit of a more balanced approach, and look at the bigger picture, typical Dr Palmer, which is why he is successfull and the BRDC isnt....
they are are aware the speccies at club meetings are more a liability than the source of an income stream, buuuut
MSV consequently go out of their way to maximise that income stream by addional offers of merchandise and whatnots
example: ATM ?, yes at Brands Hatch, none at Silverstone
aaaaand they seem to think that tracks which generate noise but dont see many visitors lose their acceptance in society, dooming them in the long run
