KIRKYLANE 537 Posted October 24, 2017 I sincerely hope that Peterborough ride in 2018.....it would be criminal to lose such a good track I have lots of fond memories of Peterborough... particularly the early days of the 4s tournaments Good luck in 2018 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crump99 4,476 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know how much it would be to buy/lease Peterborough? These days it seems to break most promoters within a few years who aren't Rick Frost so that should give you a ballpark figure, I'd say anyone thinking about it needs to have 100k in the bank as a safety net to even think about it?

CookieIpswich 249 Posted October 25, 2017 Hence at that figure why British Superbike is on the list above speedway 😂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Even in a super stock class in superbikes..your are looking at about 400k first year costs for a 2 rider team. Edited October 25, 2017 by baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieIpswich 249 Posted October 25, 2017 Where did you get those figures from 🙈 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) Off a team. This is running a team..not sponsoring and starting from scratch Edited October 25, 2017 by baldyman 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mudflaps 664 Posted October 25, 2017 I'd say anyone thinking about it needs to have 100k in the bank as a safety net to even think about it? I'd guess that Jeremy Corbyn Fan is frantically counting his Piggy Bank to make an offer!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CookieIpswich 249 Posted October 25, 2017 Off a team. This is running a team..not sponsoring and starting from scratch I guess in a sense that may be accurate but I would also think they are doing it wrong or simply have money to burn to do it correctly. You can run one rider in British Superbike for £100k if you only look at bikes, entries, running costs etc basically take away the bullshiz of hospitality, trucks, huge awnings, full time paid staff etc this is also based on having the bikes prepared at no extra cost, just ran out of a van with a good size awning etc If it's a new team from scratch than its an open chequebook it really is British Superbike is potentially on the agenda for us next but as part owner not sponsor but not next year more like 2020 so hopefully they get the new circuit in northern Ireland built by then and hope they still have Assen on the calendar £100k for speedway as a budget is crazy, what does this Ged guy do as a business?

Baldyman 6,243 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) The figure I gave you was for a 2 rider team in stock class, the cost was for bikes, truck. Workshop.. Repairs to bikesand so on...not a big hospitality job. They then moved into superbike class and cost was then 900k before recouping 200 in sponsorshp. Each bike alone was 110k to build to competitive spec. I take it you don't expect your rider to ever crash.??? Edited October 25, 2017 by baldyman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jenga 2,998 Posted October 25, 2017 I'd guess that Jeremy Corbyn Fan is frantically counting his Piggy Bank to make an offer!! all that copper and five p,s will take some counting . but he had 16k last year , so maybe he has another 5k plus to add ! some crazt numbers flying around on here . no wonder the sport has a turnover of promoters .
