He might not be rolling in money,but his statement. 'I rode 90 meetings and I haven't earned a lot from that '.All I did was pay to ride speedway' is Ludicrious ,he better get a9-5 job for next year if that was the case.
Harris's sob story is pathetic,he's earn a few bob more than he makes out,total self interest.Why go Long Tracking to lose money !!!.had a lot of respect for him as a rider and entertainer but his PR is terrible.90+ meetings this season and just making ends meet!! Pull the other one!
I agree regarding standardising equipment ,virtually all Bike and Car sports have introduced it into their sport with success why can't speedway.Self interest rules and it killing the sport.
Fair play to David Howe for revealing his points money,but as others have said what kind of money are most of the Champoinship riders are on,judging on crowd levels at most tracks it’s easy to see why most are in financial difficulty.
Will the fans get in for free if it is re run,there won't be many there if not IMO ,they are being totally ripped off these days with 10 Ht matches and abandonments .
You have to take Harris's sob story in the Star this week with a pinch of salt,close to jacking it ,but now going to do SGP,European Qualifiers and will probably try the grass track again next season, who is he trying to kid!!!.
