Although Mark should have questioned them wanting gate 1 as it had been atrocious all night i am led to believe brady wanted gate 2 but Charles was not so keen going off gate 4 thats why it was changed to 1&3.

And how much could it cost them in lost gate receipts if fans stay away thinking they are not competitive enough? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The truth is bv has run up serious huge debts and losing over £100k each year. Guess these too riders each cost over £2500 each plus plus per meeting. As a business the way things are speedway just don’t work. More cash going out than cash coming in, result the sport is bust.

They had agreed a deal with Bewley who as a GP rider would not have been cheap so Zagar would be in the similar pay scale so they obviously can do it…and with a top 5 with Etheridge and Allen in it they are going to have a fan drop off so Zagar would definitely stop that and attract others 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
