We went to gdansk v Toruń a couple of years ago, the meeting was a non event but the atmosphere was something else and we went to falubaz and it was a last heat decider and you couldn’t hear the bikes on the start line for the noise of the crowd 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is why if you lok. at Denmark everything is more expensive as you also earn more. Nothing to do with getting the price right 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Answer this then how can Poland afford to pay a top rider £135,000 a year if the gates are £10-£12 a meeting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the UK the speedway club usually has to pay out rent and often don’t even get the car or food takings and don’t get much help from elsewhere.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the UK your average earnings are about 3 times of that in Poland.So logically thinking you would pay roughly 3 times more for things in the UK than you do in Poland. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
