The top riders are affordable to clubs because of sponsorship rather than gate receipts so when you raise the question regarding level of support then that needs to include sponsorship. I wouldn't say "rather than gate receipts" though because the wealthiest must surely be a fair combination of all income strings in their bows. Sponsors probably do rule though I admit. But full terraces are also good for gaining the sport points via strong media coverage - ha ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without specific sponsorship, meeting the cost of top riders would not be possible from gate receipts which do not even cover other related costs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, large crowds encourage sponsorship opportunities & healthy improvement in further growth of attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds extremely ambitious for British speedway but just might work. Think of all the fans who love the colour green that that would attract.

Can't wait to see what it is! 🤷♀️ Figure of eight tracks? Riders being blind folded? Tandem bikes so both riders per team ride the same machine? No guests and a fit for purpose RR facility? The Play Offs take place only AFTER the Qualifiers have finished? Alright, I know some of you are already shaking their heads at my last two suggestions of the five, and think those two are so ludicrous that even the BSP would never implement such ideas..
