Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted January 26, 2016 Ok, you bleed Speedway and you win 30 million quid on the Lottery. You want to save your local team, it has its own stadium, (not rented) so you need to assemble a team, the best team you can buy/pay, either sign or loan riders, you can have anyone in the world, but, you still have to stick to the points limit, the 2016 points limit. Who would you sign and why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam Roynon 3.00 Ave: 40.45 Strong team, but it does show that whatever money you have, there's still weak spots in a 1-7 Ok, so you have no team sponsor, can't afford any of the GP or big name riders, same team building restrictions, but no double up/down issues, build that team as well for comparison, you get average gates of 950 full paying adults, and 100 concessions to pay for your wage bill/running costs in your own stadium..

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Pay him enough money and he would have been Let's assume Garrity was ON the draft list, as he could of been if he had wanted to remain on it.. Edited January 26, 2016 by Shale Searcher Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) Can't have Garrity at No.6. He wasn't in the FTR list There is nothing in the first post about having to use a FTR. you build the team to your interpretation of the rules signed M Ford Edited January 26, 2016 by A ORLOV 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted January 26, 2016 Shamek is 6.75. Ok, so I slipped up with team building perameters, 2016 points limit, 2 FTR'S of which one has to be off grade 1 list and one from grade 2. The above is for both the Lottery Win Team and the Bargain Basement Team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Speedball 566 Posted January 26, 2016 I'd change tact totally and have some fun. Set up a shell holding company and make Matt Ford an offer he couldn't refuse. Then appoint a dream team of Dave Helmsley (track & team) and Len Silver (entertainment). Then set back and watch the carnage unfold from the Maldives ;-) 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike.Butler 601 Posted January 27, 2016 I think a much better questions is : If you won the lottery and best wanted to help secure British speedway over the next 30 years (about the amount of time I have left being fit enough to attend hopefully), how would you spend/invest £30milllion? Objective being to see the sport thrive... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
