pvm 109 Posted November 21, 2020 What sort of income does Speedway generate during winter, that it requires a government loan to see them over the winter? I assume the government looked at what sort of "loss of income" the sport would suffer as a result of there being no sport during winter and decided there would be none.

It would be more that there has been a whole previous season with no income and a new season (hopefully) that would require cashflow through the winter to enable to plan for it to happen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Technik 462 Posted November 21, 2020 I still think there are other sports that are not named in the list that may be higher up the list than speedway. Cricket, field Hockey, Cycling, Athletics, Snooker Boxing & Swimming to name a few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So far NO money has been announced for Cricket, Cycling, Sailing, Swimming, Athletics, Golf, Gymnastics, Darts, Snooker, Boxing, a myriad of other Olympic sorts, or even any of the Winter Sports, either. So what makes speedway a special case? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mickthemuppet 976 Posted November 22, 2020 I think there are over 300 different sports in this country so they are not all going to get something 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
