scampispeedway 67 Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Hi John, thanks for keeping us up to date with things at Brough Park and if it is true about the rental it would mean you having to get at least 125 people through the turnstiles to start with just to cover the costs of hiring the stadium. If all the equipment is slowly being sold and as I see it no riders that the club owns, how can any new promoter make a go of outlaying a lot of capital before stating that they are willing to take part in a season long fixture list Edited July 5, 2022 by scampispeedway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Another rumour that has surfaced is that 4 interested buyers now... but two run off when they heard the facts and the other two are apparently still mulling things over; however the clincher will be; and again if true... the rent will be £50k next season to hire Brough (which is apparently what Brum pay) For a stadium with no floodlight facility... Makes you wonder... Regards THJ 50k rent for brough.. that’s absolutely shocking!! Does that include new lights, a new track and an updated stadium like ?

It seems some improvements to the dog track have been made, superficial or not,,, has anything been done to improve accessibility for fans, the road and carpark?,,, food for thought.

They don’t need crowds in and they don’t need to improve the facilities as most of the revenue comes from the broadcast BAGS Meetings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
