When your very starting point is "contrived, make it up as you go along nonsense", then you really have zero chance of enough fans buying into it... Might as well chuck the money down a grid... Again, agreed. The prestige and honour of winning the Premiership is far watered-down now. I accepted that long ago, however, getting to see Laguta every week is enough entertainment for me 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I loved watching him and Emil recently at the NSS.. However, expecting people who have no idea who Laguta is to buy into the sport emotionally will be a struggle when he can replace riders from other teams at a moments notice.. "But guests have been around for years"... But we didnt pay £22 to watch them and Bomber didnt turn up for all and sundry.. Their operating model delivers exactly what it deserves... No more, no less... Edited June 20, 2023 by mikebv 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now I know this is the BSF and people never let fact stand in the way of posting, so I will nip this in the bud by using WEF figures. Average 2023 UK salaey $52278 v $16261 in Poland. Also factory in the money from the local council plus their broadcast deal. Its like prem football. They do not need the ticket revenue to survive. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
