PhilTheAce 498 Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Becker not been announced and some wolves fans are hearing talk of him heading belle Vue way. So there's another rumour to get your teeth into Edited December 27, 2021 by PhilTheAce Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard nothing from the aces side of things. Only from a few wolves fans. While I'd be happy with becker, Hope we go bigger than him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Highly unlikely that a sponsor could be found to provide £2k+ per point aka Poland. However matching Swedish pay rates (& paying them) is far more likely. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So there's another rumour to get your teeth into He may not have been announced but the Wolves team has been finalised weeks ago, expect Becker and Morris to be the final 2.

Even on "mates rates" I would imagine any top 10 rider will be looking at a minimum £100k for 20 matches.. Sweden will be offering less matches so maybe a few could be enticed over with that level of contract? They do though have a league sponsor so presumably bump up their payments using this money so maybe not a huge overall difference for riding less matches? So many top riders seem pleased to just run three times a week in Poland, Sweden and Denmark, and have four days off.. Presumably happy with their lot, with it being heavily funded by their Polish contract.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Presumably happy with their lot, with it being heavily funded by their Polish contract.. Top boys can only ride in Poland & one other league. So although the rest in-between meetings may appear beneficial some riders (as per Jason D) prefer to be busier than that on their bikes racing. which of course the UK can provide for.

If an extremely wealthy Russian business man, who happened to love Speedway and lived in leafy Cheshire, wanted to sponsor his business through Belle Vue and bring A Laguta to the club. It is possible, it's 99.9999% probable that it won't happen. but it could. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
