iris123 21,150 Posted July 20, 2012 More to the point, how much do they have to pay to host these meetings? Not sure why that is a point of any interest.They can only ask the going rate,that promoters will pay.Ask too much and no-one will cough up the cash.Only the promoters will know if it is worth paying.Why would fans need to know?

LagutaRacingFan 1,948 Posted July 20, 2012 (edited) From my sources at the FIM, It would cost £40,000 to hold an FIM Event and what they do is you pay them 40k and you get an event. BUT you don't know whether it's Event 1, Event 2 or the Final. A further £500 + £50 adminstration charge to pay for transport,accomadation and other "luxuries" for the FIM inspectors for the track and If they tell you that you need to upgrade then you HAVE to upgrade, Too much money already put into the event so you have to do it as you won't get a full refund and It will be payed in installments IF you want to pull out.

It was a rhetorical question in that the amount presumably determines who might be willing to host, not whether "it's the turn" of a particular place or whether venue x or venue y would be a better place to hold it. From my sources at the FIM, It would cost £40,000 to hold an FIM Event and what they do is you pay them 40k and you get an event. BUT you don't know whether it's Event 1, Event 2 or the Final. IMG/BSI have the rights to the SWC do they not, so presumably it's them who charge the staging fees. There's probably also FIM inscription fees and paying the costs of the FIM officials, but nothing like 40k per meeting I'd have thought. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

f-s-p 832 Posted July 22, 2012 Dont think you need to pay anything extra when organizing a FIM event, the riders money is listed in the FIM rulebook. Then you pay a meeting FIM license or similar that includes the FIM officials and their hotel bill. Thats about 2-3k. But when talking about FIM BSI/IMG event, thats a different story.

BUT you don't know whether it's Event 1, Event 2 or the Final. Berwick are current;ly in negotiation on establishing an exchange rate to convert the fee into Scotch pies. Your sauces will be useful when negotiations are completed A further £500 + £50 adminstration charge to pay for transport,accomadation and other "luxuries" for the FIM inspectors for the track and If they tell you that you need to upgrade then you HAVE to upgrade, Too much money already put into the event so you have to do it as you won't get a full refund and It will be payed in installments IF you want to pull out. "luxuries for the track" programmes at £4 are luxurious enough. Regards JepsenJensenRacing Ah bless, have you been looking at a grown up's letter? Coventry's track doesn't deserve to be graced by a rider of Michael Jepsen Jensen's elegance and style. Have you taken down all the pictures of Little Kenny Bear, or just pinned Ickle Mikey's pictures over them like another layer of wallpaper? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gemini 4,894 Posted July 23, 2012 The stadium's capacity is 5,000 and was built in 1948. No argument about the year but I'm sure the capacity is more than 5,000. I thought it was around 12,500? Mind you standing near the front of the terraces might be a bit tricky as you'd only see the helmets going by. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
