Looking at an upcoming stocks event at scunny, it's £15 admission, have heard 2000 to 3000 people turn up, so that's £30-45000 plus food and drink profits, drivers pay to enter, the event I looked at seemed to have a maximum of 150 drivers over several classes, guessing at £50 to enter, so that's another £7500 . Not bad probably £40-50k taken in one evening, say 10 events over the year, possibly more, so looking at half a million £s taken in. So lots of possible profit to be made over several years

Unfortunately due to the new rules of bringing things into the country from Europe, especially for a one off event, you have to jump through hoops to be able to do this, probably why, so far no very top class foreign riders have been announced. When the riders bring themselves and equipment to the British GP, this is classed as a world event, so it's slightly easier to bring in equipment

The cost of bus hire / fuel is the main issue. I know Glasgow ran a bus to Workington £40 cost, but if 3 or 4 people share petrol costs in a car it's only around £20 each . I know the supporters club lads did run a mini bus but the costs and new licence rules for self drive put that plan out of reach.. must have been 30-40 comets fans at scunny, a very good effort by all. But the whole crowd looked lower than what we get at Northside

They can't help it , it's them rose tinted glasses they all wear 😄

Even if fit to ride who are gonna be the other 2 in the team and reserve ? Maybe put Dan at reserve if fit but not quite race ready ?

But the population in say a 10 / 15 mile radius of Poole would probably equate to the population of Cumbria. Then all the money in the Poole surrounding area will mean more and bigger sponsorship. Where worky and say Berwick are in very rural areas so haven't got the big money sponsorships available.

Kemp was good at scunny but poor tonight, seems to always have a good meeting and a bad meeting, but always seems to have bike issues in either league, where batch never seems to break down. To be more consistent bike issues need to be sorted

But was plenty of dirt some great racing by both teams, and no blue groove 😜

Scummy wasn't much better last nite . Big soft bit on 1st bend throwing everyone off the line, and bumpy going into the 1st bend

Think the Comets have one of the best traveling fans that go to most meetings, granted our nearest clubs, Glasgow Edinburgh and Redcar come to Northside in good numbers, but you only see a handful of other teams supporters travelling across the country

Batch was brilliant last nite at scunny was battleling all the time, kemp was good until he hit the dodgy inside line on the first bend which spit him into the fence, Tate rode well. If these and Jonas have a go a result for the Comets could be on the cards. 🔵⚪🏁😄

Didn’t you lot get beat at scunny in the cup 🤣 and last nite as well 🤣🤣

The reserve Grenk must like travelling was guesting at Glasgow tonight then a very long drive for the meeting tomorrow

A good fighting performance by most of the comets some very good racing to keep the many travelling fans entertained, shame palm tree had his best meeting of the season against the comets

Same money that's why it's called a bonus point

Lawson doing what Lawson does at this time of year, looking after his average for next year, but as been pointed out still got heat results for the team, so his average manipulation goes relatively unnoticed

Taking a few days off from the pilots thread, as got to be in the right frame of mind to follow the comets at scunny and Plymouth 😄🏁🔵⚪

Nice of you to think about worky all the time 😄 I must have got in your head like one of them ear worm songs 😜 all you can hear is " ohh worky worky worky Workington" 😄

Hosepipe ban in Dorset now 🤔 but by the amount of dust in the stadium every Wednesday must have been a Hosepipe ban for weeks 😜🤣

Probably more like dropping kennet so another team could not use him as a guest each week, but now he's signed for that old man's development league team it doesn't matter now

Can't see the many fans that will travel to the speedway will care too much about the football being at home or not

Have you seen how much Poland pay the riders , plenty of info via a Google search, all they have to do is offer a rider say £500 a point top riders are on 10 times that, then a clause in the contract you can only ride in one other league. Most riders are gonna put the polish money first, rather than ride in the UK for £75-£125 a point. Just got to see how little the British final winner got £1750 😲 look up Dan T's vlog

Before the injury most Poole fans wanted rid of him cos he was crap

On the app scroll to live TV lots of options come up ITV 1,2,3.4 etc click on ITV4 then watch live and enjoy 😄

Poland 1st Poland 2nd Poland 3rd 😜
