I seem to recall that an origination of a sponsorship is possibly around 20%...but any subsequent re-negotiation the commission goes down to 10%...again this is pretty much standard in all sports/commercial deals. Also 80% of a wedge is a bloody sight better than 100% of **** all. Again from experience the effort that Terrence put into ALL aspects of Speedway has far,far outweighed any rewards he has received. At times the BSPA was full of people who did nothing but grizzle and moan about their share, whilst doing absolutely nothing to improve their business or the overall good of the sport. Our local football team employed someone to garner sponsorship on the understanding anything he bought in he would keep a percentage. This seems common practice. To put it in simpler terms. If someone legitimately offers you £100 and all he wants in return is £20 back would you take them up on the offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always considered that 80% of a decent wedge was far better than 100% of bugger all 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up regularly hearing the term for agents and the like as "Mr Twenty Percent", so yes, it's been common practice for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepturningleft Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Belle Vue NSS is the template for what is possible if there is the enthusiasm, the council support and the finance. Would be wonderful if Coventry were to become the 'Belle Vue' of the midlands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spinkox Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Coventry City Council has granted outline planning permission for a residential development of up to 2,400 homes on the west of the city centre. Does this make residential development of the site less likely?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hopefully speedway returns to Brandon a stadium sadly missed, everything ive read about this case tends to come across as the developers are flogging a dead horse as there dosent seem to be any enthusiasm for new housing within the council or local community.

IainB Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Do the new planning regs effect the situation at Cov at all? If I'm honest I don't really know what the regs are about... but a lot of people seem to be getting their knickers in a twist about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
