But it isn't.  It's a moderately well-off man's plaything.  If a Speedway team loses £100k in a season, that's chickenfeed to a "rich man" Look at football.  Look how much, on average, a Premiership football team loses.  Look at Championship football, look at League 1, Look at League 2.    League 2 is most economical, but even there, each club will lose, on average, around £3 million a year.   A £100k loss on a Speedway club is a bargain.

It’s good to see bspl members all getting along just like Rob Godfrey said 😂

The trouble is they're rich enough to buy and run a club but not rich enough to really do anything meaningful to improve things. I was listening to the guy from Mildenhall on the 360 podcast this week and he deserves all the credit for doing what he's done there and the same goes for the guy at Worky but when you listen to them speak it's painfully obvious that they have no real ideas on what to do to improve the sport, especially at a national level.  Listening to Rob Godfrey also the other week and he said they've got David Howe's daughter helping them out with the socials. Now I know nothing about David Howe's daughter maybe she runs a successful creative agency, brilliant if she does and good luck to her, but if she doesn't then is that really going to achieve the results that the sport desperately needs?

It's a rich mans play thing, not a business.

It's difficult to know what you get for your money other than exposure to around 5 or 6,000 people every week for around 6 months through the summer. It's more of a charity donation really. 

Surely Iain any right minded business looking to back and sponsor speedway must be off their rocker?
