Phil 303 Posted October 29, 2013 Assuming there is no sky money or other sponsorship money how are the EL going to afford to run ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted October 29, 2013 By paying the riders less or not signing G.P. riders? Chris Harris has already signed for Coventry so he must have realized (at last!) that he is not worth as much as he was four or five years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Why bother with Peterborough? Because we are a big club with large revenue which would allow us to compete in a Super League with Poole. Edited October 29, 2013 by Hougaard Racing Fans Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Panthers89 1,922 Posted October 29, 2013 Lower points limit, bigger league and agree with Gemini, curb paying OTT for riders. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,936 Posted October 29, 2013 Lower points limit, bigger league and agree with Gemini, curb paying OTT for riders. I disagree, We need super star riders. The likes of Ward, Woffinden and Holder need to stay in the UK at all costs. They are the ones who draw crowds, Get people talking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted October 29, 2013 Horton has stated he has 2 teams in mind, one with Sky on board and one without. You would hope other clubs have similar plans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peterborough do well to field one team considering most of their assets would rather ride elsewhere on loan. The fact is that finally British Speedway has realised that it does not have the backing or following of other countries and the big earners will have to ride for what's on offer or forget it and most will take the second option. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
