Lord Tolley gave a good insight during his interview at the speedway show on Saturday.  I didn't know that their stadium rent is paid monthly over 12 months and he said was £5.5k.  The other point of interest I noted was that they have budgeted for next season based on a crowd of 500, which should be easily achievable.

So based on your figures,  there needs to be 750 at home to Leicester and Oxford to cover for the low numbers against Kings Lynn.

Must have good Sponsers ,budgeting on 500  doesn’t sound viable

They reckon on about 1000 to break even ..Doesnt  look good...

Says who?  Lord Tolley was quite clear that they will break even on a crowd of 500.  Of course they hope to get many more than that with a better team that looks likely.

They didnt get many more in when they signed F.L ...That came from N.Tolley himself from S.Star...

He is a bit all over the place with his statements and Press releases.Find it it hard to believe 500 break even statement though.Time will tell, got to give him credit for hanging in there.

If you say sponsorship could cover fixed costs, stadium hire, insurance, medical cover etc. and they got 500 @ £24 each this means they could spend £6k per meeting (one home and the reverse fixture away points) on points money. Allowing you budget on 46 points per meeting it means you can build a team with an average cost of £130 per point. Its doable, but if your Number 1 is on a guarantee which I understand most are its going to be a tight fit financially,

Personally I think £130 is low.No1 will be very expensive whether guarantee or not. Don’t think 6K will cover wages.IMO
