Glasgow won't pull it back with that team. No Villads, no win. -

Ipswich v Sheffield 4th September

I reckon it’s a blinder played the Witches, a nothing match for them and let’s make the others believe they are vulnerable at home before smashing teams in the semis and final. Well they should be with this team. Anything less will be a failure this season. THE strongest team all season and built very cleverly there is no better chance of winning the league. It’s the play offs so anything can happen obviously. The Aces look the weakest of the 4 but they have good pedigree in the more recent play offs so I guess they shouldn’t be written off at anyone’s peril. Can’t see them doing it tho this year. -

Weather forecast looks dire for those travelling long distances. What do the locals say? -
Heat 14 should've been red light
-
I have heard that Jason Doyle earned £55k for his maximum in last week's Polish play off

Certainly woukdnt be all over even with that sort of lead Equally if it's 10 or less it's still game on too I think these plays offs are the most open for a while both in the semis and the final regardless of the combination of qualifiers -

Buffered for 3 heats, went off before Heat 8 but seems to be back now (for tractor racing). I’ve messaged them. To be fair there are normally no issues.

A few things: - massive TV money. It's like 8 mln złoty (so around £1.75 mln) per club per season - much higher attendances - average of Ekstraliga is almost 9500 per meeting. x60 PLN per ticket, that's around 570k PLN (£115k) on the gates. Times 7 in the season + play offs (at least 1 match, most often 2). That's before any merch, food sales, car park fees, etc. - a lot of sponsors. And I mean a lot - sometimes even 2 big sponsors in team name (that's like 1 mil PLN per year, each). That's numbers for Ekstraliga. Slightly less in 2. Ekstraliga: - TV money @ 1.5 mil PLN (£300k) per club per season - average attendances 5000 per meeting. x40 PLN per ticket = 200k PLN (£40k) on the gates. - also lots of sponsors. Understandably, they pay less but still bring a good revenue to the club. Probably also paying less for the stadium hire, as that's hired at cost from the town, not from the greedy greyhound franchises? idk. They can afford it to a point that speedway clubs in Poland: - have paid staff (up to a dozen different functions) - can run closed and open trainings for their riders - do a 2-3x weekly trainings for the youth academy (that's pretty much every club in Poland) - and can run events for the youths at least once a week that are free for the spectators to attend and cheer on the kids. Yes, there is a few failed clubs - Gorzów is struggling with debts since a few years (and went public with it last year), similarly Tarnów barely managed to get to the end of regular season, rumour has it that Częstochowa is not doing well at all either. But on the grand scale of things majority of the clubs can afford to keep driving the earnings of top riders (and not only, also "desired" riders which back in the day were low CMA ones, nowadays are the "Under 24" lads) higher and higher, so...
