topsoil Posted December 17, 2018 Report Share Posted December 17, 2018 12 hours ago, Sings4Speedway said: Im with you on that 100%. Why cannot promotions see that by throwing money at riders it is killing the sport as a whole and making their own jobs so much harder in the long run. If they stood united, set out the money paid and that was it riders would have a choice sign or not but there would be plenty waiting to take their place. There might be a lull in standard for a couple of years, there would almost certainly be riders confused about how to maintain a bike rather than just buy new constantly but in 10 years time there would still be a NL. By crushing the less financially powerful clubs promotions are crushing themselves as with no teams the league has no value. That will go down well. Speedway fans love something to moan about.

Ghosty Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 As a point of interest! If the Buxton promotion were gifted £10,000 would they consider running in 2010? If so are there 100 like minded supporters out there who would each donate £100 to help Buxton run because like me you see what true ground roots people the club are.

I don't think the Buxton promotion would need a penny to run the 2010 season again. Just a time machine and our best wishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sings4Speedway Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Certainly would be good if the answer was yes. Also there must be 7 riders who would jump at the chance at riding for Buxton this year (for not silly points money) rather than sitting on the sidelines. Silly Season but Smith 8.41, Armstrong 7.69, Wooley 6.69, Halder 4.63, Embleton 2.88, Macdonald 2.72, Dicken 2.33 = 35.35 all northern, all got no current (declared) team places.....

phillwhitewasmad Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I’d give £100 if that was the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an example side of riders who want to ride in the NL and should be prepared to take £20 a point for the benefit of doing so plus would be a competitive side.

adonis Posted December 20, 2018 Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 should be prepared to take £20 a meeting more like , £20 a point for a scratcher like Halder that means max Clegg would get more over 2 grand a meeting paid out in points money , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What better way to spend a sunny sunday afternoon in the Derbyshire hills than watching the mighty potters giving those pesky hitmen a good spanking. anyone else up for it.

RS50 Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 (edited) Do not know about Buxton's finances but I think two of their problems could be Sheffield running on Sunday this year, and not a track which is easy to access without your own transport. Wonder if it would be viable for Buxton to run Saturdays if Sheffield continue to run Sundays in years to come. I hear that Buxton may run some meetings. To help make it viable for them, perhaps anyone going to these meetings, if they have spare car room could offer a lift to someone without transport. I am sure a few extra supporters and a few extra £,sss at the turnstile would be appreciated by Jayne and co.

Maybe Buxton should be put forward to be allowed to run them meetings,would be 3 good Sunday meetings for NL supporters to turn out for,also wouldn’t do Buxton speedway any harm whatsoever financially towards running in 2020 .British speedway needs tracks like Buxton .!
