Too many being overpaid for what they produce on track.It’s a closely guarded subject riders wages.
Would like an indication of cost of riders wages for Bullets Team,bet it’s not been cheap.
That’s speedway riders for you unless they getting paid over the odds or a guarantee they are not interested these days.They must be getting good money for a 6 month job.The second strings complain there is not enough meetings to make it pay.Happy days.
The National League was the lower league when Mike Lee started but it certainly was very high standard .It was not junior riders as the NDL is today.Like you saying Ashton although new to speedway certainly knows how to ride a motorbike.In Lee ‘s day most of the youngsters from the Grasstrack scene.
