Football should not have any Government because if they can run a full season of matches and not get a penny in through the gate and the money that many of the Stars are said to getting for playing    Or are they playing  for next to nothing  I DOUBT IT.   The top clubs must be rolling in cash.

...but isn't this Government money to various sports organisations LOANS and NOT GIFTS. 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!!!

...and should be seen to be supporting those in the lower tiers which I believe has been agreed to some extent?

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.

£139 million loss, being bolstered by £250 million by the owner.

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?

Just wait until there is a total ban on Betting Company advertising and sponsorship!!  That is what is funding the Sky/BT coverage.

Must admit I did laugh out loud when I heard on the radio that betting companies may be banned from advertising around the pitch and on the shirts...

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?
