It would also be determined by the availability of Plymouth and their riders. Honestly I can't make head nor tail of it as we couldn't get the crowd for a double header with the Gems at 20 quid which was cheap... What's the cost of this one gonna be... to make it pay under the current Covid rules and a 660 full house limit... it needs to be at least 28 quid as a minimum... the rules will have changed for Covid but I doubt by that much where we get a free for all abandoning track and trace... However saying that with kids and season ticket holders off those numbers 500 paying punters at 30 quid only realises £15.000 to pay for the home meeting and cover 2 away meetings... Tight as far as I can see it... especially when a can't see 500 punters paying 30 quid... even though that would be a bargain...

No it's still about not losing any more money and getting as near to breaking even as possible rather than heamoraging cash...

Sings4Speedway Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 I feel for Newcastle i really do. The current season is a bust and is about avoiding losing bucket loads of money and being able to come to the tapes again in 2022. If they do get to the tapes in 2022 the team assembly will be on the back foot because they don't have the financial clout of other teams which has been further hampered by this season. There is the dwindling fans numbers due to multiple reasons and then that will largely dictate the budget available for team building next year. Until the cycle can be broken it feels like repeated iffy times for the Diamonds 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards THJ Yes the rain has been biblical down here,when I drove past the track this morning the 3and4 bends were totally underwater from the inside to mid track and more rain forecast. Hopefully when this match is finally taking place both teams will be at full strength. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
