I started going to Alex Park when I was 15 . I was in and out of the game . I also drove at Alex Park for a year or so as a Junior Driver , it was something I will never forget how the Park was packed , the crowd lining up against the fence in the home straight , full fields it was an amazing feeling just loved it .
When trackside started that all changed just the same as Ellerslie . The crowds were no longer because people stayed home and watched it on TV . I stopped going many years ago because there was no atmosphere like there was before , everything has changed Alex Park has lost all of its character with apartments everywhere .
I really don't care to be honest if they stopped racing there but it would be sad to see it fold due to financial reasons .
Get over it?
I couldn't care less if they moved it. 😅 What ever happens will hopefully be "the right decision "
Touchy subject? Are you OK?
For the record, the bigger nights actually get great crowds and even the "themed nights" also.
The crowds have actually dramatically improved since marketing it in a different way imo.
You just don't see them outside.
Regardless of attendance, something needs to be done as you have mentioned as it's bleeding money

It would have to be south of Auckland - the traffic for those going into Epsom is a nightmare.
The public don't go there anymore and won't either - can see so much more staying at home.
Yes have had many wonderful nights at the park and then on to the steak house (name alludes me for now) in Royal Oak if one of our group had a win
NOTHING IS FOREVER - get over it
