Of course they do , the TV deal brings in cash not all of goes to Terry Russell , more important to know is what happens to the money from the GP? , in the days of the one of finals every club got a share of the money but, now how does British Speedway get from The Cardiff event ? and where does it go?

Honestly, as far as I understand BSI allegedly get all the Monies. That is what I was led to believe. Unless, of course, someone knows better than me.

Humphrey Appleby 13,960 Posted June 29, 2014 surely the BSPA ad the other home organisations must have got something for selling the rights to their respective GPs to BSI ? Not a thing as far as can be determined - but too late to be complaining about it now. The rights were given away years ago without a whimper from the national leagues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tsunami 10,219 Posted June 29, 2014 Not a thing as far as can be determined - but too late to be complaining about it now. The rights were given away years ago without a whimper from the national leagues. The rights to the GP's were bought by Benfield Sports in about 1996, for something like £10M, which went to the FIM.

ColinMills 1,728 Posted June 29, 2014 if clubs want money, its not like they performing to sellout crowds, id suggest promoters promote, instead of EXPECTING people through the turnstiles, bombard the area in publicity, think some get up and go needed sometimes..the vacant spaces in stadiums is money wasted, you cant drag people in, but it appears the only efforts to promote this sport is on bank holiday weekends!

Why wouldn't they get all the money? It's their show, they've bought the rights from FIM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is that the monies are apparently not distributed to the national speedway authorities, and how much the world championships were the FIM's to sell. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
