DC2 11,150 Posted August 8, 2019 Neil Watson has just suggested that a Championship side pays about £4K per match to its riders and the Premiership about £10k, but each home fixture has to cover an away fixture’s pay too. So the CL needs £8k per fixture and the PL £20k. Quite a surprising difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What I said, responding to MikeBV on another thread, was: ‘Each Club pays its own riders home and away of course, so a home meeting needs to cover rider pay for one home and one away meeting. A good rule of thumb is 100 points home and away, in my opinion £20k would be right at the top of the range; for a Premiership Club paying more than average and scoring well home and away (hence successful, which should enhance the crowd). Around £12k would be nearer the mark.’ £20k was MikeBV’s figure, not mine Edited August 8, 2019 by NeilWatson 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,637 Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) I would agree those figures in the PL say 50 points at home paying an average of £120 per point (£150 top end; £80/£100 reserves). Interesting to know what doubling up/down riders settle for? Say a PL reserve who is also a CL Heat leader? Edited August 9, 2019 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
