Alex2000 Posted October 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 While the rest of the NL sides are on a shoestring budget, Eastbourne are flying in a rider from overseas. If we hadn't shipped them in the NL would have been less exciting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevec Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 While the rest of the NL sides are on a shoestring budget, Eastbourne are flying in a rider from overseas. LOL, I never thought I would hear the Eagles accused of spending too much in the name of winning. What a difference a year makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitten2502 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 .......and birmingham and cradley on a shoestring budget yea right. Can't answer for Cradley but Birmingham would be on a very tight budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellioth4 Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Looking forward to a last home Brummies meeting of the season. I predict Brummies to win by 10. If anyone can text updates to me for the updates site. Can you please send me a pm with your mobile number? Thanks Elliot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a difference a year makes.too right, after years of failure in the top flight, the eagles are now a big fish in a very small pond!

TurnTwo Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ellis is easily on £30/£35 a point and Perry at least £25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Ellis is easily on £30/£35 a point and Perry at least £25 All these people supposedly in the know, it was a minimum of £600 a meeting last week !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 Birmingham can afford to pay those prices as their reserves will be on £10 as will kirby and chapman possibly on £15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countershaftcounter Posted October 6, 2015 Report Share Posted October 6, 2015 What clubs can afford and what clubs pay are two different things, I think JTS has a better idea than most what Ellis is paid than most posters on here .

catinthehat Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Lets look at it in a different light, Cost at a guess for both teams home and away.Rent for Birmingham Stadium as its a nice stadium with all the equipment (£2000) Graham Dury to run speedway per meeting £250 and away £250 = (£500)Birmingham riders all turn up each meeting with a new tyre on home and away, £40 x 7 = £560 riders pay for a meeting for 45 points (£1000) riders travel at a guess £500 BSPA, Insurance, Medical cover (£1200) cost for Birmingham (£5760) Rent for Eastbourne Stadium with all the equipment (£1000) Martin and Connor Dugard to run speedway (free)Eastbourne riders all turn up each meeting with a new tyre on home no away £40 x 7 = £280 riders pay for a meeting for 45 points (£1000) riders travel at a guess £650 (add Spillers flights at an average of £150) we know there are cheaper ones (£45) Easyjet Gatwick, Stanstead. BSPA, Insurance, Medical cover (£1200) cost for Eastbourne (£4130) Eastbourne save £1630 on Birmingham? so cant see how the difference is that it comes down to money, Location of the staduim is the difference, more money as its a better stadium, means more people means more money in. Birmingham must have the money? Dugard are giving there time for free and seems to make it work, Good luck to them if they bring Spiller in, i bet it will be little Spiller next year? Who can blame them. Who cares what Ellis is being paid, he turns up every meeting races his heart and and he is the best in the league and he should get paid top money, there is alway a way around paying riders. ie sponsorship or van, bike parts, so on so on. Roll on tonight i cant wait to read the updates. Eastbourne to win at Birmimingham on the night by 2 points Eastbourne to win at home by 12 on Saturday.

Sings4Speedway Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Sorry but I fail to believe Connor "Commercial Director" Dugard is giving all his time up for free. Im not questioning the time and effort he puts in but the eternal cynic in me suspects any director will be getting a decent wage plus expenses. Hope Brum can win by 8+ on the night to set up an exciting return match at Arlington. Edited October 7, 2015 by Sings4Kings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
