Trees Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 maybe take those rose tinted specs off and open ya eyes.where do you think the clubs fees go ? If the money all goes back to them why pay it in the first place? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reliant Robin Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 you for real I thought it was a fair enough question. As far as I'm aware, Clubs do not pay an entry fee to the leagues year on year. An amount is lodged with BSPA and held in case of things going t**s up, but I don't think there's an annual fee to be paid. You obviously know a fair bit about the sponsorship side of things, that I am not questioning. But on the other side of the fence... Who has the race suits made? Did BSPA want sponsorship rights to the whole race suit? Or was it just a small part? Who pays the travel/accommodation etc for the World Cup? Do BSPA actually make anything out of the British GP as you refer to? Genuine questions, as I like to look at both sides of any argument.

Bagpuss Posted March 11, 2011 Report Share Posted March 11, 2011 Looks like Nicholls could be about to follow suit, see here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jasper Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 I wonder what the BSPA would do if Bomber also opted out, silly question, they would carry on regardless and put the blame at somebody else's door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5 FURROW Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 It won't do BSI a lot of good, oh dear. Knowing how much you dislike BSI how will it effect you or will you be two faced and support them after all youve said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyluck Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 ... and the fact there is no Under 21 team entered for this years World Cup ... Is this just a one season thing? I only ask because the provisional FIM calendar for 2012 seems to have one of the qualifiers for 2012 being staged in the UK: http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&sl=pl&u=http://www.sportowefakty.pl/zuzel/2011/04/12/projekt-kalendarza-fim-na-2012-rok-final-dmsj-w-polsce-imsj-/&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dsportowefakty%2Bzuzel%26hl%3Den%26rlz%3D1G1TSEA_ENUK335%26prmd%3Divns&rurl=translate.google.com&usg=ALkJrhgTdarhw8mfvn68-ZqAtgc6BWU3RQ Apart from the obvious inclusion of Argentina in the World Under-21 calendar, currently under discussion in the International section, it seems that one of the early GP qualifiers will be staged in the UK next season.
