  1. dont know the reasons , but if its down to costs, thats their problem, they are no where near a level where they think they should be making a living out of it. thats the problem today nobody seems to want to do it for the love of it, if you cant survive past the apprenticeship you dont make it pay.
  2. NOT THE SAME WITHOUT THE RUSSIANS..
  3. thats the point I'm making riders would have to pay for their own tyre's insurances vans ect,. it shows a lot of money is needed and the public are not willing to pay it.
  4. for a laugh lets throw this out , average crowd 1000, x £20. =£20000 12 riders start money £500, each,=£6000. £100, a point x 90 pts =£9000 leaves £5000. for club to use. rider 12 pts makes £1700. thats what we can afford. thats how i would start again. so dont start what about this and what about that,.
  5. i probably missed 2 meetings all season this year. because on holiday, do love watching the racing there, but will be cutting back next year. sorry to say.
  6. i paid £54 to fly to turkey, cost me £50 to get taxi back home from Manchester airport no more than 10 miles. mental
  7. been some poor crowds at Bellevue this year, dont think some gate receipts covered their costs, only sponsorship been helping the aces out this year i recon.
  8. its just with people throwing riders here there and everywhere, and not knowing the costs involved, gate receipts don not cover it and they are going to be less next season.
  9. A few people on here putting together teams from their averages, for next season, but would be interesting to see what they thought each rider would cost + travel for that team. forget all other costs of running team, just purely riders wages. would it add up ???
  10. and it will eventually bite them in the arse..
  11. also expect a couple of quid rise per meeting. which wont go down well. my take one league get rid of top stars and drop price at least a fiver. clubs want top riders put on individual events thru season. like we had in the good old days😁
  12. costs will dictate what happens to speedways future, and its not looking good. we can all have our own opinions, i would love to see all top gp riders every week at belle vue. just like your opinion its not going to happen.
  13. everyone's got to cut their cloth accordingly, to survive today, but speedway isn't.
  14. only one for me soren sjosten
  15. the beginning of the end started years ago. i missed only a couple of meetings this year. next year will probably only go to a couple if that.
