B.V 72 Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 Perhaps I am being a little dumb.But everyone is saying how close the two leagues are getting because most of the riders ride in both leagues. Now my point is as said apart from a few GP riders and a few top European riders a lot of the riders in both leagues are the same.So how does the championship pay all these doubleing up riders with no TV money.Just going off the 2017 season do the likes of Cook,Lambert.Masters,Morris,Harris and many more Premier league class heat leaders ride for less money in the Champ league. If not how has the Championship survived all these years without the help of TV money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) With those numbers on PPV you would not even break evenOf course you wouny but highlighting just how tiny the BT offer is. Really getting 1000 subscriptions worldwide shouldnt be impossible.

CookieIpswich Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 PPV streaming should be done in house for the BSPA events so British final, fours, riders championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theboss Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Interesting quotes from Lindgren on speedway GP. Â He said: "Obviously I know about the TV deal and theyre still working on it I think. At the moment, it looks like they dont have a TV deal for next season, which means theyll have less to spend. The budgets for all the clubs will be lower. Â For me, I love being able to race in Britain, but I have to look at all aspects is it worth it money-wise? I also have a budget to go with my race team, so well see." Â No surprises for me to hear, and as I have previously said costs will need to be cut to keep the clubs in business this season.

We'll probably still get a deal as the BSPA know they can't afford to not have one but they will have to meet BT in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurntFaceMan Posted December 2, 2017 Report Share Posted December 2, 2017 GSI are in advanced stages of negotiating a TV deal. It is very unlikely that it will fall through. If it were to fall through, they've already a contingency to replace the lost revenue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamish McRaker Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 It's doomed,I tell ye. Things have got into such an unholy fankle the best way forward can only be backwards. Disband this Premier league, merge the teams into the other 11 and run for a season with a 19 team league as cheap as possible without people losing interest Then start working on drawing up the Premier league to resume again in 2019. Get some decent external consultants in and just work on the structure and rules & regs, basically start from scratch and involve the TV people in the process. Then do a proper launch. The final chance saloon. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 There is no way the lastest sky deal gave each club 120k each. That was the deal before the one we've just had wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically what Lindgren is saying that if his pay rate is cut too much he wont ride in the UK, tbh I should think that will apply to a lot of clubs but clubs should only pay what they can afford.
