I agree with you putting money in to the club, but what did clubs do with the money Sky put in ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not know the finances involved or how much went to certain clubs, is it private information, was it ever known exactly how much was paid and to whom?

TonyMac 720 Posted May 14, 2020 (edited) Our timeless retro interview in this week's (w/e May 16 issue) Speedway Star is with former Polish No.1 Zenon Plech. He twice challenged very strongly for the world title but, regardless of those efforts, he won thousands of friends and admirers for his fearless throttle-bashing antics. And also for being a really nice, humble bloke - as anyone who has had the pleasure of meeting Zenon will testify.

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted May 19, 2020 A WHILE back a poster on here bemoaned the lack of an interview with Andreas Jonsson ...well, your prayers have been answered. He talks to Paul Burbidge in SS this week. Compelling stuff. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted May 20, 2020 Philip Rising: What's the plan for covering Polish racing once it starts? I would welcome detailed coverage while we have no UK racing., ie: more details than we would normally expect (and need) in a usual season. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kitten2502 262 Posted May 20, 2020 I have yet to receive w/e 16th May edition (only got w/e 9th May on the 13th) - it has been very hit & miss with delivery (not blaming SS for this, but it's very frustrating). If nothing arrives by Friday I'll have to phone Dave - especially as Royal Mail no longer delivering on Saturdays now. Ironically, I had letter from SS today advising my subscription is up for renewal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
