And they are probably not the most accurate of sources... About half of that will be the "going rate" for a top GP rider in the UK... Easy extra money without having to do too much for their level of capability... Do 10 matches and £50k... Tops up their "big contracts" (with all the reflective pressure to deliver that this brings), nicely.. £10k a night to find for "home and away" from your home meeting though is still a hell of an ask I would say, especially without a sponsor to bank roll it...

Thing is, Brady has said that he's left the club financially stable for the remainder of the season & Buster says the team is over budget. One of them is lying. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's £10k a meeting I've been told from someone that should know. These two clubs are an absolute joke and need saving asap Edited June 25, 2023 by Flappy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them is lying. This is what Alex told me.. " trust me when I say I’m leaving it healthy financially" No mention of the remainder of the season. I'm guessing Laguta's wages are a problem for Buster. Unless you have been told something different.

Najjer Posted June 25, 2023 Report Share Posted June 25, 2023 Laguta not being at Wolverhampton tomorrow and then getting a facility is nothing short of a joke. In this day and age you can’t pull the wool over people’s eyes and sight injury when he’s been tearing it up in Poland for all of us to see. You can’t claim travel problems as that is easily traceable - long and short, you will get found out if you are lying. I’m in a couple different speedway groups and called that Laguta wouldn’t be at Wolves on Monday the moment that he withdrew last week - and may never ride for them again either. Im not for one minute suggesting we go down the route of the Swedish league that dishes out rider replacement facilities like they are going out of fashion for no reason, but there is something that has to be done about this going forward. I’ve long thought that shared no.1 team positions could be a way forward for certain riders like Woffinden and others who don’t want to ride every single match over here but I get financially that may not work. There has to be some sort of compromise to make that work. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shambles of a situation. Kings Lynn look like morons for trying to claim Artem is injured, when clearly he isn’t. British Speedway management look like morons and so weak for not putting a stop to it, at risk of upsetting Buster…. Ask to see his flights that were booked (and now cancelled) to show he was actually meant to be coming. And you filter all the way back down the channels and the ones who ultimately end up suffering and being lied to is the fans. But who cares about them anyway?
