I have no idea of the cost difference between the two leagues but surely points money must be more. Poole quoted they saved 30% on costs when they moved down to the Championship in 2021. Although the difference could be more now with more top riders back? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,651 Posted November 9, 2023 Would make more sense for Rob Godfrey to renegotiate the 'minimum 6 teams' agreement with Discovery!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skidder1 7,651 Posted November 9, 2023 If there is any truth in the whisper that Scunny (or any other club) are moving up, presumably in place of Brummies then that could mean a change to the Championship team building points limit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HGould 2,213 Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) I think you're all missing the blindingly obvious. Rob G has always paid what he can afford, always been on the case of those paying PL rates in CL. There will be 42 spaces in PL He'll bank the TV money and basically pay higher CL rates and build a team to be competitive at home. Certain riders excel there, some of the fancy dan high earners will never have been there. He'll run PL on a budget and pick a team who'll ride for the pay. They will always be paid. He won't have the ego that says he has to win, that's not his style. Edited November 9, 2023 by HGould Spell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
