Masters had same issue couple years ago He has changed his visa in the past as he was due to lineup for Somerset in 2020. But I believe he's usually signed up in Sweden and Poland too so wouldn't do Championship 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted November 12, 2021 With Swedish league in disarray, and crowds through the floor, the chances are many riders will not be offered a berth in cost cutting measures. If less than a thousand turned up for the final, how can they pay for a team of top riders? Some like Doyle have realised this and got themselves sorted over here before the stampede. He won’t be the first to enquire about team berths. Lesser Polish riders will also start to talk about the opportunities of riding here. The Tungates, as well as riders such as Rew, Miskowiak etc might find a team berth here more viable than Sweden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zach Cook to replace Basso and a straight swap for Schlein! That would leave 4.7 available to replace Schlein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doyle has always preferred UK to Sweden due to family, hence him wanting to be here last year only for Swindon to halt. Sweden is heavily propped up by sponsors, even their streaming service has major sponsors behind it. I'd say Sweden looks even stronger next year money wise, this year they started without the top stars and brought them in further into the season once Covid restrictions were relaxed 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well if they now want to rock up over here then if they are no more expensive to employ than who we current have then fine. Otherwise why jeopardise your finances for a ‘name’ on a team sheet.

As reported in the Star they won't be able to afford the top star line ups like this season, no matter when they came in. Champions Dackarna cud only attract 989 for the home leg of the play off final with Woffinden, Doyle, Janowski Thorssell etc in their side. That must have crippled the club"s wallet.

Isn't it about time that British clubs started publishing their attendances? The clubs must know for tax reasons if nothing else so why keep it a secret from the fans?
