I hear the government subsidies advertising English premier football in China! I would have thought the English premiership has enough money floating around to pay its own way. What I cant understand is the lack of any coverage on TV news. You get some coverage for all soughts of sports, but speedway GP has an English rider top the rostrom in Poland and zilch. Doesnt the BSPA/SCB have a press officer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who do you think pays for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who decides to put it on the agenda then or does it magically appear? Everything costs when it comes to organisations such as councils. It might be pennies but it still costs and it's my pennies paying for it. Those pennies are much better invested in education/NHS/etc that you keep banging on about on facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
