You could well be right greyhoundp there is bound to be some obstacle put in the way.You would like to think fairness would prevail as all the clubs have been stopped running there business through no fault of there own.Onother point would be would maybe some of the riders who are all self employed have some sort of insurance/cover in place to cover there loss of basic earning's.??

Therefore, there's no reason why speedway clubs shouldn't qualify if they want to take out a loan with a personal guarantee in the current climate: https://www.british-business-bank.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Ineligible-and-Restricted-Eligibility-Sector-2017.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it is a list of Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes which are ineligible for the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme (CBILS) aka the "Government bailout". Every limited company has one and it describes the nature of the business. For example, Swindon Speedway is "93199 - Other sports activities", Belle Vue is "93290 - Other amusement and recreation activities not elsewhere classified". It's not an exact science, but neither of those SIC codes are ineligible for the scheme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
