Unfortunately a few on here think the promotion have money to throw at speedway  !! But if run to a budget hopefully the club will prosper.

Surely, even the thickest Worky fans must realise the folly of paying over the odds, not sticking very firmly to a designated budget?

Obviously you don't know how businesses work and to keep in business you have to stick to your business plan, that means don't burst your budget  :rolleyes:

If thats the case why not take a pubt on James Wright (if fit). 

Surely its better than agreeing to vissings demands, who let's be honest isn't the most reliable, plus would cost a fortune in flight in amd out of the country. 

Whats left of rider availability is whats left at this stage, I don't think vissing would bring much more to the party. Plus wright has got a connection with the fans already.

One thing Is certain, it needs sorting out ASAP now, its not good and does add uncertainty. 

We are advertising for season tickets and for race suit sponsors but don't have a full team?

Granted I'm not Alan Suger but iv half a buisness brain

Maybe a better option is some of the southern based younger riders, like anders Rowe, but probably not too keen to travel north and like others too fixed on a possible polish option

surely you dont really believe your own comment

pay a 2nd string or 3rd heat leader more than your no1 and your asking for trouble   pay any rider way more than others and they will revolt history proves that

I agree on that we cant afford to bring one rider, and not the number 1 to boot,  in on more than others that would create a very unhappy ship and trigger requests for more money from others.

I know there have been a lot of discussions trying to get Anders on board, but travel, difficulty in getting to Poland for Sundays and also money have meant that that deal hasn't come off so far

The "others" have signed their contracts, so whatever they've agreed to, is what they've agreed to, which means the promotion don't need to pay them any extra to what was agreed in the first place!!
