SPEEDY69 Posted 15 hours ago Report Share Posted 15 hours ago 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between £3k and £5k guarantee a meeting would be my guess, depending on who they are, and how good they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think 6K will cover wages.IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
