Someone on facebook said that's what Emil said, maybe riders only get a small fixed payment for the competiton... hopefully its not true

About 200 quid,,,,doubt that would even cover the fuel and air fair 

 

So King and Hume would be my guess

 

Anyway back onto tonight,,,,, now we have beaten the might Panthers,, we must be league favourites

Shared events pay rates are pitiful

The full fee for Emil is probably about what he would expect per point.......

Its on facebook that appartantly doyle has a rearranged polish meeting and emil cant afford to be at the pairs 

I heard at the start of the season that Emil wouldn't be there.But then I started doubting myself that it was Doyle.But it seems like it was true what I heard.Shame really,it would be good to have the actual best 2 from each club there.Guess we will have to wait until the night to see who we think may start as favourites.

Are you Mystic Tell then,   as the pairs was changed to a one off meeting after the season had started ?

Any of the pairs,not just when it went down to one event.

Thought he might do a one off,but seems he isn't. Can't blame him I suppose on those pay rates.

Hans is being selfish now by dragging Panthers fans down with him.

How is he being selfish, I'm sure he's trying his best. Peterborough can replace him if they can find anyone stronger, it's not Hans job to retire / quit if he doesn't want to!

We looked good last night but up against a poor side let’s be fair 

Iversen did ok and Worrall wasn’t too bad…. Cook wasn’t on it and Basso was awful and I didn’t expect much from Tarasenko but boy he will struggle at Monmore! 
It’s sad to see Hans … never a favourite rider of mine but should bow out now his time is done

For us Doyle and Emil were winning by a straight … Hume and Rew did just fine and good to see Riss more compete and then putting in the laps after the meeting 

Great to see young Dan scoring points made a couple of good gates and comfortable on the track 

Moment of the night was Danny King after winning heat 15 coming round the stock car track and blowing a kiss to the lady near to us who constantly shouts abuse at him each week…. He looked fast last night and was passing so good to see him hopefully have an upturn in form

I really wonder why some people go to either speedway or sporting events, it seems to stress them out far too much!

Pleased for Danny however!

BSPL Events do have separate pay rates for sure, and usually they are pretty pitiful. Last years Prem Pairs events had some reasonable prize money. I know the winners of each event got £4K split between the three of them in whatever proportion they agreed between themselves. I don't know exactly how it reduced down for 2nd. 3rd etc but it would be reasonable to suggest it halves as a pot for each rung down the ladder.

I don't know the prize pot for this years event, but certainly last year, if you didn't finish in the top 2 and make the final, the event was costing you money big time.

Is that the lady sits top couple of rows between bends 1 and 2? She was horrific at the meeting I saw against Lynn

My goodness me, that's seen as reasonable?? 

British Speedway really is in the s#!t
