Mylor Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Apart from riders demands, what else makes running in the EL so expensive and prevents PL clubs from seeking entry? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogH Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 What I find difficult to understand is how some EL clubs stay in existence when their crowds are not much more than PL clubs who are maybe just breaking even but don't have to pay GP riders' wages, air fares etc. They must get some form of subsidy, but nobody will say how much money Sky are paying for TV rights, sponsorship.

Dekker Posted August 6, 2003 Report Share Posted August 6, 2003 Dont also forget that some EL promoters are happy to run at a loss to work with their other business iinterests. I cant think of any PL teams that do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course there is a subsidy from Sky, it's alternatively know as 'part payment for your number one subsidy'. This year it was £60k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
