Blackadder Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 He will probably ride for the team that pays the most money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 He will probably ride for the team that pays the most money. which will be Swindon, He puts bums on seats, lose Doyle lose bums. Great meeting and great to see an Aussie in Aussie win the Aussie GP and the World Title, just wish it was last year when I was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef robin Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Good luck to Liam Carr, the Swindon play-off reserve, giving up the sport. Nice lad, was on our table at Dinner Dance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 (edited) Good luck to Liam Carr, the Swindon play-off reserve, giving up the sport. Nice lad, was on our table at Dinner Dance. If Swindon wanted him in 2018 there would be nothing wrong in them offering him or any other rider a fixed basic payment each week and then a bonus if they score more than a certain number of points. A bigger issue is the cost of equipment if, like BWD, they blow up a few engines and are not able to make much in points money. If he does leave the sport I wish him well.

Was lucky a sponsor stepped in to help Deano, only had 17 quid left in bank account! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago riders had fan clubs, part of which had events etc to raise money for riders. Now the top riders probably do not need the money but the reserves and certain riders need every penny they can get, so as well as going out to get sponsors maybe they should look to setting them up again. A few hundred fans paying a few pounds a month would help up and coming riders. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
