One story I will tell, Adam was riding for Lakeside away at Swindon.
I went to Pauls house in Broadstone, Poole.
Adam collected us in the van and said 'its a lovey day, I actually feel like riding my bike today'
Lakeside won with Adam getting paid 14 from 5 beating Leigh Adams twice and once from behind, happy days!
I worked with Adam Shields for 9 seasons along with Paul Viney in the pits, had some great and some not so great times.
Wouldn't have swapped it for the world.
Agree, unless your rider is riding at 1 or 2 you may get to see heat 1 but other than that its the 4 or 5 rides your rider is in.
Its is an adrenalin buzz working in such an environment and after the rider I worked with retired, watching from the stands just no longer gave me the same buzz watching..
That would be great and I hope that they are being proactive and targeting them.
At this point, I would think coverage is more important than any monetary gain.
I was part of the consortium that tried to bring Eastbourne back and we looked at every league we could enter.
Whilst for obvious reasons I can't say anything, it was a good amount.
I do hope they can get another deal together but can't really see who with.
He was a pretty poor rider, rode for Eastbourne in the top league in his teenage years and scored 1 point from something like 14 meetings.
Sorry just checked, 1 from 15 rides in 7 meetings.
