If it indeed transpires the "one over the eight" regulation is adopted at AGM, then the unemployed "over eight" rider(s) will be the ones who have demanded too much from a prospective promotion. Having a surplus will prevent unreasonable demands, if a rider thinks he's the only game in town, he can cripple a promotion by asking to be paid the earth.......
Can't agree, there is obviously a power source already, track warning lights, etc, don't run on gas.
Forty years ago, Berrington Lough was totally self-contained and ran everything -- including floodlights -- by generator, which wasn't a huge one. I'm certain things have moved on space since then, and you could power a stadium with a fairly compact generation unit
Most, not all, stadium owners will charge a flat annual fee for a speedway club to operate If that was (f'instance) £65k, and you run 15 meetings, you're paying £4.3k per meeting. But if you run 25 meetings, it'll only be £2.6k.......
Bluey Scott, Charlie Monk, Nils Paulsen, Trevor Redmond, Bruce Ovenden, Willie Templeton & Graham Coombes. Maury Mattingley on bike,
Two Aussies, Two Kiwis (3 if you count Trevor), One Norwegian, One Englishman and a Scot.
Not many 2.5% reductions there......
So what? Only one team can win a title -- real success is having an entertaining team providing excitement for fans, getting enough bums on seats to pay the bills.
No, more sharing out. Same riders, spread thought the league.
Indeed, as a Bandit fan, you should be pleased, as it allows all the teams to work closer to a reasonable budget.
If, in fact, this proposal is adopted!
