Borrowing a significant amount of money from an external source doesn't seem to be a good fit with the fan ownership model

Presumably "the fans" would then be responsible for paying back the loan regardless of what happens 

 

 

Best bet is to find a wealthy sponsor or backer borrowing the money without knowing how successful the venture will be is very risky- if I’d pledged money as a fan  Id withdraw it if the 100 or so fans are deemed responsible for repaying for any loan if that’s the route they go down

That would be a tough ask I guess, sponsors are hard to find at the best of times and this seems like a significant amount for this level of speedway.

We can only wish them well

Just a thought, could they not use old tyres to cover the upright RSJs? Which could be put on and taken off some how? I would imagine the cables wouldn't/couldn't be taken down for speedway, but actually, the cables may help with rider protection?

In a word, no..
