StarBoy Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 7 hours ago, SPEEDY69 said: 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. King’s Lynn need a 1000 to break even, and that’s Buster getting hammered for always having the cheapest team. Even if Apple or Google sponsored the Brummies I can’t see 500 being financially viable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoundTheBoards Posted November 4 Report Share Posted November 4 2 hours ago, SJA said: and they got 500 @ £24 each this means they could spend £6k per meeting No. £24 admission is £20 + VAT. So a 500 crowd at £20 is £10k. On average there are 100 points in a meeting, so just £100 per point would wipe out that £10k, without even taking into account the riders' travel expenses and flights and tyres. Then there's signing on fees, stadium rent, insurance, medical cover, meeting fees, referee fee, track preparation, other staff costs, utilities, etc etc. You wouldn't get far on the gate money of 500 people 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only get income from the home meeting, but have to pay riders home and away. So the 500 people have to pay for an average of 100 points.

Some of the figures people make up and claim that No.1's get guaranteed are nonsense, but guarantees often happen at all levels. A youngster stepping in at reserve may even ask to be guaranteed 3 points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishersGate Posted November 5 Report Share Posted November 5 Just watched the video on the brummies FB page with Chris Adams. He said a few new faces will be at Birmingham next season but got a no from every GP rider basically. Any guesses on who they are signing?
