I didn't say they could make it pay I said they could make it work. Its not unusual for a promoter to bankroll a team, that's not to say it couldn't make money that would depend on the rental cost. The rental cost would depend on how much competition there is from other speedway promoters, I think the rumoured cost of rent is just the owners seeing if anyone will bite. Of course there will be a minimum amount of rent the owners will accept i.e enough to cover basic expenses caused by the speedway.
I didn't say the speedway promoter can get a right bargain but the owners need the rental money and they will just rent to the speedway promoter who will pay the most.
The owners are desperate to make odsal pay they will want the best rental price they can get from the speedway, even with weekly crowds of 500 a promoter could come to deal and make this work.
If they could make the track wider on the straights it would help. If they are already running at max width, make the straights a bit shorter.
Does Ole Olsen do the Warsaw track?
Covid passports won't be ready so there will probably be a capacity restriction and social distancing. If it did go ahead I guess tickets would have to be scraped to accommodate a socially distant seating plan.
I agree, if a team keeps losing at home it will be down to the hardcore of supporters. The only way Scunny could do anything this year is if they made a quick ruthless change after a couple of meetings, theo or Lambet for vissing or BWD.
I hope terms can be agreed with Jake. I think last year he wasted a load of time and money waiting in this country for a late start to the season, he probably wants to make sure the season is going ahead.
