So professionally produced tv is really just about attracting and keeping sponsors?! Not sure what evidence is around for that in recent years? It's good for the Sgbp riders but it doesn't make their demands to clubs any less. It's likely that clubs still have to pay more to riders simply because the riders know there is more money around due to.having a tv deal. What does it do for fans or to improve continuous attendance? Even if the attendance increases for a tv meeting due to a special promotion or reduced price, fans rarely come back in similar numbers. Or have I missed something and crowds are really on the increase all round and the sport is in a healthy state with no worries?

The'higher quality coverage' hasn't exactly done much for the sport in all those years - assuming there were a set of objectives for the sport to improve?! Maybe 'budget basic coverage' may be enough to do no worse than before?

Polish clubs run whenever it suits them no.matter what may have been agreed previously!!

I'm sure Kent and Plymouth will also run a NDL team.

So it's £50k per club per season over each of 5 years then? I was only asking. Maybe it was the BT deal done on the cheap?!

Hancock?

Kurtz and Holder's pit bay name boards both up for sale on eBay! !

I think both he and Matt were surprised at the number of fans that voted to go Championship!!

Let's not forget the % discount for brits.

Freddie Jacobsen is a class young rider. Whoever gets him will be well pleased. And another loan fee for Poole.!

If it is only £10k per club per season. Then MF is right. The bspa have undersold it.

Just like all the Poole moves.

As with most signings at every club it'll come down to numbers, the deal and permissions.

Kyle has no reason not to ride for Poole if required.

Is that 50k over 5 years ie £10k per club per season?

Why? To do what exactly?

Matt, and Danny (and possibly Tilley, the 3rd Co-promoter)

Wow a non-Polish rider looking after himself in Poland.?!

Fans and sponsors!!!!!

My postal copy was a day late ie on Friday but in pristine condition when it arrived.

Could be?! Anything is acceptable. Personally I prefer verbal with written confirmation to follow-up - preferably in invisible ink.

The promotion at Birmingham made themselves very unpopular by not paying riders!!!!!

I bet the telephone lines between Kings Lynn/Rugby and France have been red hot recently!!!

His last Premiership average was 6.91 in 2016, which would convert to 11.05 with the 1.6 Championship converter for 2020 - unless of course he was given a reasonable reduction for being out of British Speedway for 3 years?

Danny Ford states in the Star that the team will be a mix of old and new faces as whilst the Championship gives less opportunity to use their 'top end' assets, it does create more opportunities for new riders (assets?) elsewhere in the 1-7!!
