Club chief executive officer Steve Hetherton said he was expecting a much bigger crowd on Saturday with a lot more bookings compared to the previous week.
"We were grateful for the support and these festive meets are proving highly popular," Hetherton said.
"The crowd was up on the corresponding meeting last year.
"We have double the number of bookings this weekend and we will have a much bigger crowd in attendance.
