secsy1 213 Posted December 3, 2021 Interesting reading about several riders have not been paid for matches ridden in for Birmingham during the 2021 season. Surely these riders deserve payment, be it from the bond with the SCB/BSPA or sale of assets (if any) left at Birmingham prior to any proposed sale of the club. Very disappointed that this is still occurring and hopefully every rider at both Birmingham and Eastbourne get their due monies before Christmas. We all live and hope! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenga 2,998 Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) i agree , it is sad .but the people to blame are the promotion of clubs who dont cut their cloth accordingly ! there are only a handful of clubs that can run their club and pay out large sums of money to riders . good luck to them . if ride X gets large sums per point , then their mates want the same . we all know a good team will attract bigger followers , but in time the followers get board and find something else to do like fishing , bowls or even budgie jumping .lol. you dont need a million pound team the get entertainment for your crowd .so the promotions are to blame for thinking they need x amount of fans through the door to make it pay . last off all , its the local fans who dont attend home meetings because the next home meeting is against a much weaker side , they give it a miss and before long they stop coming . support YOUR team , because one day it will be gone . PS the 70s were great , riders had a first job to go to and speedway was a hobby/sport that gave them bread n butter money .good days lost forever IMO. look on the Scunthorpe Scorpions 2022 thread . page 27 , first post . SAYSIT ALL REALLY sad Edited December 4, 2021 by jenga Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
