The pre-Kop era is not really comparable as most of those events were on public roads (and of doubtful legality). Something of a parallel with "road" rallies in mainland UK up to the point in 1988 when "real time" 30mph timing became mandatory!
Lack of venues, particularly in the South East quarter of England where there are now none, is a desperate problem for the future of the sport at grass roots level (where young newcomers can be introduced to competition and got away from dangerous driving on public roads). Anyone with any thoughts whatsoever on potential new venues is urged to share ideas - even on here - they can be passed on to appropriate people to investigate.
