The only reason Championship clubs get away with paying riders peanuts, is because the Premiership pays them proper money.
With no Premiership, riders will be very unhappy!
How is that fair on riders?
If there is one big league, then contracts will need to be negotiated again.
I'm not sure why Championship clubs are signing riders when the rules are not set yet.
The Budget has announced a whooping 4.80% increase in the State Pension.
That means clubs should be able to increase admission prices, as pensioners have more disposable income.
Really worrying times for our sport.
I also don't see how Belle Vue is viable in a watered down league.
The fixed costs of running the stadium will not support a crowd of 500.
I am sure the BSPA could arrange the fixtures in a way that meant the Panthers first 8-10 matches were all away from the Showground.
This would give the Panthers additional time to fix the track.
You just need to get the track ready for the start of the season.
The seats and the center circle can wait.
It would probably take 8-10 weeks to get the track ready, especially if we fly over some of the top Polish equipment.
When has running clubs at other tracks ever worked?
Peterborough running at Kings Lynn would not attract more than 200 people.
Kings Lynn is too far from Peterborough.
My interpretation of that statement is that it is a negotiating tactic. They clearly want more money to host speedway again.
Sounds like the door is open for speedway.
The Panthers need somebody with financial backing.
How much is it going to cost to bring the Showground back?
I get the feeling that you wouldn't get much change from £100,000.
And how long would it take?
