I wondered why you always wear a cricket box.

They were very green when they entered the sport, I remember Brian Havelock saying that he didn't blame Summers for leaving Redcar, after he'd seen what they were offering. He then proceeded to screw them for a fat transfer fee. They've since gone on to sign a succession of big name milkers. It is alarming though, especially when you compare their crowd levels against some others. Time for radical action but it doesn't look like there'll be any (so far).

You "guess." Well she did say that she'd bought him it.

Well his new car would have covered the cost of his long track excursions for the rest of his career but oh no! He wants the fans to pay for it.

Harris isn't short of money, his wife bought him a brand new Jaguar last month. What you read in Speedway Star is mostly people pushing their own interests no matter what the consequences.

He did point out those things and the costs were considerably more than half.

There is no guarantee that it would work, lots of young riders pack in because they can't afford good equipment, even though they don't actually need it at lower levels and wouldn't have the skill to exploit it. What you suggest might well happen anyway as even less go to watch.

They need to address equipment costs, bikes are too expensive to buy and maintain but you don't read that, just the need for more doubling up and guest rides.

So why attach this to my post, If you read the thread, I made no suggestions as to earnings? Anyway your clarity should remove any speculation.

Yes but he still gave up his job to go back to it.

You'd still have the same amount of doubling up and guests.

It'll be new season, same old sh!t.

Except that he copied most of it from President Nixon's resignation speech, the word 'tacky' comes to mind.

When you see the scruff or hear him speak you know the sport is stuffed.

They aren't going to be working all day or every day, in similar circumstances committees might be paid expenses or a modest fee. Most if not all of them would be likely to be retired anyway, not that it's going to happen.
