The Dog 413 Posted December 7, 2021 4 minutes ago, PirateShip said: Wouldn't blame any speedway rider for going after the money! They are often owed money & extremely underpaid when they do get paid. 3x World Champion Woffinden gets paid a poultry £330,000 a year riding for Wroclaw when you compare wot Valentino Rossi earns, £7million a year. Rossi will probably earn more in his retirement each year than Woffy. And anyways, wouldn't really call it money wot speedway riders get paid, more like peanuts! Bizarre statement saying that 330k a year is a poor wage... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very poor comparison of sports.Moto GP has full Sponsership from most of the Worlds Bike Manufacturers +World Wide organisations.Speedway even in Poland is not Global in that sense.In GB we don’t even have major Sponser.Lawson stating that it costs around £500 to prepare for meetings tells me he is earning decent money,or he should go and find a day job.

Think some fans need to get the facts right . Before posting I've not read anything from Lawson or Poole & Plymouth said very little so there's no "facts" to go on!

Suggest you go on to the Twitter and watch his ride against Redcar. And as said before, his points didn't reflect performance, Glasgow were built strength in depth thus points for lower end opposition at ashfield were few and far between Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He'll be fine at Glasgow and I like how fans trying to fit him in at reserve but I think after how well he's done at Poole last season he'll want to start in the 1-5. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
