Just to add to the above post the same applies for ALL speedway clubs .

Well captain Newman best get his gating gloves on and score some decent points! 

A shame we are so weak tonight. Harrison for Cook is not good. Wood, well the lad is a tough guy but will he threaten the scorers?  Think we will come up short after last nights lethargic performance. Will be watching as always.

But from 5 rides and the 3 bonus points don't count in the averages just in his pay packet 😜

Financially Speedway is about as far away from being transparent as you could get.  Speedway clubs running as private limited comapanies are classed as micro entities ie small businesses. The accounts are abbreviated and unaudited as far as I understand it so they tell the lay person virtually nothing. There is no itemised income v expenditure breakdown. The lay person knows nothing and can't find out much about a clubs finances including, how much is raised in sponsorship, gate receipts, parking, programmes, food and drink as income streams or how much expenditure in the form of insurance, rent, rider wages ( rumoured to be too high at Championship level with current crowds ) medical cover costs, tyre costs and anything else I have missed. All in all it is about as transparent as mud.  .
