Don't disagree at all, however... That would mean the Championship at around £12.50 to £13... Not a chance of that happening... Wasn't it £18 and more at some Championship teams in 2019....?

Clive Ward 181 Posted January 30, 2021 Does that make us lucky at Lynn or was some championship clubs supporters unlucky. Dont think there will be a huge difference in team strengths between the premier and championship so maybe £13/£14 would be a fair price ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't see any reduction, as riders costs will only have gone up if anything. I would personally be happy to pay last years proposed admission price... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes agree that rider costs would go up but not much as most riders would have new engines etc already in the workshop from 2019 and yes I would also be happy to pay 2019 admission prices, I don’t think I should but it won’t stop me going if we are lucky enough to get some speedway this year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Clive Ward 181 Posted January 30, 2021 With Lambert and Riss missing from the team this year our rider costs must have plummeted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add in Brexit and the fact the EU could put quarantine regs on anyone who goes into their territory, or prevent travel to their territories from certain countries, then any rider riding over here, and over there, could very easily have problems... And as a self employed person, with two similar jobs that pay so massively widely differing salaries, you can perfectly understand it if he chooses the one that pays considerably the most momey..

Bagpuss 10,784 Posted January 30, 2021 Not just the salary though....if Bewley, Kurtz or anyone else of their ilk have ambitions to get to GP’s etc they have to be riding in Poland whatever that means for their UK careers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If and it's a big IF, the UK is Covid safe and our travel restrictions for UK citizens is lifted to/from certain countries which includes Poland,then the EU will have no reason to make it harder for employment travel between the 2 countries. Plus the Jab will hopefully mean the world can reopen for business. or am I hoping for to much to soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And there are still lots of unanswered questions re the vaccines complete effectiveness given the timeline it took to make them... Lets hope for the best..

The Vaccines are fine, the reason they were rolled out so quickly, compared to others is Red tape. A blank cheque was given and all red tape removed. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
