AskTerry Linden,I'm sure some riders didn't get paid what they were promised,but more importantly don't think the crowds at Berrington were covering the cost of running in the higher league.The trouble with speedway is Promotions don't like to divulged running costs ,they only tell fans when they lose money .As the leagues stand at the moment any Team in the Champoinship would have to think twice regarding Promotion with all the local derbies that would be lost.Unless of course they get a massive financial incentive to move up,but we will never know that answer.Rye House looks a good example,who is covering the cost of that Team this season,will the Promotion make a profit or are the willing to take the hit if things turn out loss making.Dont think Kelvin and Jimmy would be cheap in that Berrington Era .The racing was great though while it lasted.
