The TV money goes to the clubs that feature on TV, that’s simple enough. The SCB/ BSPL have no interest in the youth or they wouldn’t have withdrawn the funding in the first place. Godfrey should shoulder SOME of the blame, he presides over the whole shambles after all.

Glasgow Vs Redcar, play offs 230923
Fortythirtyeight replied to Jaizer's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Yeah, like the rules have ALWAYS been followed in this sport…… -
Oxford vs Redcar - Champ playoffs - 24/09
Fortythirtyeight replied to Bojangles's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
The BSPL and Oxford knew Redcars predicament regarding lack of riders and still made them accept the date. You can’t blame riders, who are self employed, going where they get the best wage. The BSPL didn’t think of ‘protecting its asset base ‘ when it gave Poland the green light on prioritising race dates did it ? -

But Bailey wasn’t….he was only signed after Shane’s declared he wasn’t going to be fit and he had already got a Polish contract before his deal with Redcar. The problem here is not the riders, it’s the BSPL’s handing of the hole play off situation , fixtures and the ill thought out rules -
Richie Worrall statement
Fortythirtyeight replied to davieb1's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Whilst that is rather a strange , and worrying ,thing to wait for, isn’t that why riders get tested ?…..to prevent such a thing from happening . -
You are going to be shocked then,,, UK average per point for a heat leader 80- 120…..if they aren’t in a guarantee…. .Poland …set fees in the thousands for turning up!

Whilst it is a great signing for the championship there is the down side of what he is actuality being paid , and yes it’s a phenomenal sum for a ‘five pointer’ and the most any championship rider is currently being paid. It may only be for half a dozen matches but you can imagine what riders wage demands will be for next season. Trying to buy a trophy ? But then, if you’ve got it, flaunt it !

Redcar v Glasgow 10th September
Fortythirtyeight replied to Biffa's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
Well , Bellend….the clue there is word ‘ rescheduled’…..meaning a rearranged fixture so no priority. -

“Cannot be bothered “ or earning four times as much riding elsewhere ?. -
No they haven’t but you keep pretending you know it all.
-
No, no tyres provided by BSPL for semi etc , 1tyre per rider at the beginning , end of.
-
No disrespect at all, the club had a trophy on hand for the photos and that was it.
-
Because they weren’t issued tyres for the semi’s ….
-
A few quid but the BSPL didn’t even bring a trophy, they forgot , the club had to produce one from behind the bar.
-
More moaning…and it hadn’t even started.
-
As no tyres were changed during the meeting you will have find something else to moan about.
