clubs pay yearly membership fee and its not cheap. a one off bond is paid should things go wrong.
suits, bspa
fair chunk of suit,no payment to rider for loss of his sponsor space on suit.
bspa pay expenses but not enough to cover cost.
yes they do nicely out of it.
no argument just facts.
problem is any sponsor money would go in there pockets never to be seen again and the riders wouldnt see a penny.
why dont they use a bit of the over priced entry fee each club pays each year to fund the team or a bit of the cash they get from the british gp. sorry forgot they spend that getting drunk at the bar.they want the team to turn up year after year and pay nothing.
on the flip side the riders sponsors get good coverage so they should maybe chip in a bit to maybe but pay it direct to the rider not bspa.
sorry i meant the advertising places on the race suit which the riders normal sponsors are on. when i sponsored hans my logos were the same on his wtc suit as his normal one and i expect them to be the same on chris h suit this year or i wont be happy.
i was asked if i would step in and sponsor the gb team as the bspa had sold the race suits without the riders knowing. guess where all the money was going. the riders refused to ride and the bspa backed down.
i dont believe people really understand how bad they are.
strange that when ever there is hassle be it domestic or sgp scott is involved. about time he took up another trade. hope its not boxing though after that display
i would agree it was the worst i have seen in many years. singer, crap ! ballons , crap. lets hope they didnt spend more than a quid on the pair or they were robbed.
