Argos 262 Posted December 10, 2018 10 minutes ago, Tsunami said: If you don't have enough, or any assets, the BSPA give you a figure you must lodge with them, in addition to the mandatory bond which is held to cover speedway losses if you can't continue. If say Hulme was their rider, and his estimated value was £1500, and the minimum asset value for each club in your league was say £15k, you would have to pledge the difference which would be £13.5K You are living in the past, you would be surprised what incentives the BSPA give Clubs to move up a League Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember Cam Woodward couldn't host his testimonial after 10 years in the UK as he took a slice of his transfer from Edinborough to Eastbourne? He said at the time that £600 was a lot of money to him as there was no certainty he would make it to the 10 year mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF Brum have failed to secure the services of Tom Bacon this season i fear for them unless he asked for a move away (which feels unlikely). Fans will not take kindly to one of their own not being included especially one destined for the very top. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Argos 262 Posted December 11, 2018 When Tom went to Birmingham from Mildenhall he was a 4 point rider, This season he was the best rider in the NL as he finished Top of the averages, Why would Tom not want to ride for Birmingham, or maybe why the Promoters Don’t want to sign him, There is no logical reason why Tom will not be a Birmingham Rider next season, It’s a match made in heaven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He opted for P'boro the past couple of seasons (not a track that suited him) because he wanted to improve on all tracks and its paying off.

GiveusaB 1,145 Posted December 11, 2018 Let's see what the final line-up is before we start to become over critical of the 'promotion', who in fairness are taking a massive financial gamble to give 'us' the supporters something we've been craving and yearning for in a very long time! Beggars can't be choosers as they say ? Watching Championship speedway week in, week out is good enough for me! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
