Loans made because Government realise there is little doubt SUCH MONEY WILL BE REPAID. Can assurances in a similar vein be made for speedway? I DOUBT IT VERY MUCH!!!

Notenoughnerve Posted December 13, 2020 Report Share Posted December 13, 2020 Have you seen the results of how much money Everton are losing? It runs to hundreds of millions. Whilst we look with envious eyes at the money swishing around in football, expect to see many clubs go bust. That could extend right to the very top of the game too.

Ridiculous amounts of money banded around in football...trouble is it never filters down to those clubs finding it hard to survive in the lower leagues. Imagine if SKY ever pulled the plug?

That is what is funding the Sky/BT coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a chance given the literally 100's of millions they pump in to the game and the amount of advertising slots they take up on sports radio and TV... But remember.. When the fun stops, stop...

You would think not , but assume people thought the same with tobacco advertising 20/30 years ago? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
