LisaColette Posted November 30, 2022 Report Share Posted November 30, 2022 14 minutes ago, Skidder1 said: I guess it depends on what people understand as 'a guarantee'? If its a guaranteed payment for simply turning up an d riding, then that should rightly be outlawed. If its signing on fees, accommodation, vans, travel, mechanics on top of points money then thats simply part and parcel of how speedway operates at any level - and where sponsorship plays a big part. But I have to agree with Steve S - Greg Hancock was the last Poole rider to get a 'guarantee'!! NB, Rider announcement imminent I gather.............. Is it? We not doing a Glasgow and announcing who won't be back first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A multi million pound business offering transport solutions to thousands who may otherwise not enjoy opportunity to travel v a jumped up hairdresser. A family that pumps tens of thousands in to Team GB and young British talent v a Club that seems to want to help Australians, Danes anyone but young Brits. Yeah some comparison... No comparison. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what has trophies got to do with how professionally the clubs run? No doubt Poole are very successful but both are up there with best run in the country imo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
