That would mean to pay for the away leg of their home match as well, they would need to find around £24k from that home meeting... If that is the case, and that is "average" for teams in Div 1 they would be better putting up say £25k per meeting in prize money.. £15k to the winners, £10k to the losers.. The sport spends a huge amount on salaries but never uses this money to sell itself.. £25k a night, even £20k, (£12k and £8k) would deliver a massive amount of prize money over a season. A massive amount over a season that you could market your sport off the back of it.. Advertise the sport as having "X million" prize money.. They pay out fortunes and nobody outside the sport knows about it.. The costs will be the same the message to the wider public, very, very different... Agree to divvy up the money as they do now No1 the most, No7 the least... Set %'s... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No... do it on the centre green at the end of the night in a Crystal Maze style dome with a giant fan blowing the money around and 7 riders grabbing what they can 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hardtobeat89 5 Posted July 7, 2023 If this is how someone left the club in a financially stable position then heaven forbid if they hadn't! It seems as though those in charge have recklessly used the team as a toy for a season or two and neither actually knowing what they were doing. As much as people moan about Buster, he has stepped in time and again to save King’s Lynn. I just hope this can happen again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do that and whatever fans we do have attending are unlikely too anymore. It really is a lose lose situation for Buster and KL at present. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUPERACE 440 Posted July 7, 2023 Kings Lynn have been massively let down by the previous promotion. What ever the excuses, they walked away mid season and left KL in the lurch. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LagutaRacingFan 1,945 Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Alex Brady has shafted Kings Lynn. Signing Artem Laguta was not a good idea. Edited July 7, 2023 by BassoRacingFan 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, not enough riders to go around the 7 teams, team building points limit must be to high. Riders know this and demand high wages = clubs will struggle.
