Shale Searcher Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Ok, you bleed Speedway and you win 30 million quid on the Lottery. You want to save your local team, it has its own stadium, (not rented) so you need to assemble a team, the best team you can buy/pay, either sign or loan riders, you can have anyone in the world, but, you still have to stick to the points limit, the 2016 points limit. Who would you sign and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Roynon 3.00 Ave: 40.45 Strong team, but it does show that whatever money you have, there's still weak spots in a 1-7 Ok, so you have no team sponsor, can't afford any of the GP or big name riders, same team building restrictions, but no double up/down issues, build that team as well for comparison, you get average gates of 950 full paying adults, and 100 concessions to pay for your wage bill/running costs in your own stadium..

Shale Searcher Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Pay him enough money and he would have been Let's assume Garrity was ON the draft list, as he could of been if he had wanted to remain on it..

A ORLOV Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Can't have Garrity at No.6. He wasn't in the FTR list There is nothing in the first post about having to use a FTR. you build the team to your interpretation of the rules signed M Ford Edited January 26, 2016 by A ORLOV 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shale Searcher Posted January 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Shamek is 6.75. Ok, so I slipped up with team building perameters, 2016 points limit, 2 FTR'S of which one has to be off grade 1 list and one from grade 2. The above is for both the Lottery Win Team and the Bargain Basement Team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedball Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 I'd change tact totally and have some fun. Set up a shell holding company and make Matt Ford an offer he couldn't refuse. Then appoint a dream team of Dave Helmsley (track & team) and Len Silver (entertainment). Then set back and watch the carnage unfold from the Maldives ;-) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 I think a much better questions is : If you won the lottery and best wanted to help secure British speedway over the next 30 years (about the amount of time I have left being fit enough to attend hopefully), how would you spend/invest £30milllion? Objective being to see the sport thrive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarjeant 3.00 40.39 5 heat leaders so can't do it. Spend as much as you like but if I had 30 million I would like to help the entire sport and build up the leagues for 2017 but until then I would like a team of Piotr Pawlicki 7.32 Emil Sayfutdinov 8.00 Bartosz Zmarzlik 7.00 Robert Lambert 6.78 Nicolai Klindt 3.68 Kyle Howarth 5.53 Ashley Morris 3.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet you could assemble 2 or more teams, with a very similar points total (team build limit) some would contain riders that want/think they command £3,000 to £4,000 in wages not based on points scored as well.... Just for turning up!! And other teams, with a similar total points (team build limit) with nowhere near the same extortionate wage demands... So, which is right and which is also right?
