Mark 1,497 Posted November 30, 2015 So,does that last sentence mean they are looking at changing the race day to avoid a clash with football? The Premier League is massive all over Europe and so is Spanish football, which kicks off later, on Sunday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
f-s-p 832 Posted November 30, 2015 Over and out for ZKS Ostrovia as they are bankrupt and resigned from the league. Probably Wroclaw will stage their meetings there. I'm not a massive Szymanski fan at the moment, but with whats going on in his sport and having made huge deals like with PGE for example, it cant be that easy for him either...

Mark 1,497 Posted November 30, 2015 UK has no football from mid May to Mid August, so clash would be limited. In most years I would agree but we have 2016 Euro's through mid May to Mid June. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCB 0 Posted December 1, 2015 In most years I would agree but we have 2016 Euro's through mid May to Mid June. But isn't that played most days? Rather than Sunday afternoons which is the issue here. Out of curiosity, who are the riders who look like being left job-less due to clubs closing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,997 Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) But isn't that played most days? Rather than Sunday afternoons which is the issue here.

Ghostwalker 1,859 Posted December 1, 2015 How much can a top flight and middle tier rider expect to earn in Poland ? Anyone know please. This article gives you an idea of the approximate salary for top riders. https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&prev=_t&hl=sv&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fsportowefakty.wp.pl%2Fzuzel%2F549274%2Fjaroslaw-hampel-walczy-o-kase-z-falubazu-moze-stracic-prawie-pol-miliona-zlotych&edit-text= The article "assumes" that Hampel for 2015 were paid some 850'000 zloty (~£140'000GBP) as a fixed sum and on top of that earns 5000 zloty (£820GBP) per point. Imo I think that at least the points money in reality are slightly higher then assumed by Sportowefakty. I also think we can assume that riders like Emil, Nicki, Greg and Tai, likely earns more then Hampel. So I don't know but maybe 7-8-thousand for those 4 riders?

Little wonder why clubs are broke on those earnings. Gate receipts must be a very small portion of pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

uk_martin 1,606 Posted December 3, 2015 ...Gate receipts must be a very small portion of pay. That may well be the case. Sponsorship plays a huge part in the finances of Polish clubs. And look who the sponsors are...all major national companys. In Britain, you might get Sid's Wholesale Electrical Shop as a title sponsor of an EL team, in Poland you have the Polish equivilents of NPower, British Gas, etc. Massive companys with massive budgets for massive sponsorship deals. No wonder if one (SPAR??? possibly???) dishonours it's sponsorship agreement and doesn't pay up, it throws a speedway team (Falubaz ZG) into financial turmoill.

Trees 2,814 Posted December 3, 2015 Perhaps the Poles, like GB, will have to learn not to rely on huuuuge sponsorship deals so much! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
