A good example of this is Catalunya selling out in 2006 & 2007 with 160,000 fans and have fallen steadily year on year to barely half that by 2012.

Surely that's in part to do with the Spanish economy being in the stter?!

I'm sure that is part of the problem - but I think Alonso's poorer results in recent years is the major factor.

Up until the arrival of Alonso, Spain had little interest in F1.
