I was more looking for you to say 'Rider X was a promising youngster but he ended up quitting because he got too big and wasn't competitive' I'm genuinely not convinced that introducing a combined weight limit would bring more riders in. I'm open to you convincing me otherwise, but this sport has a lot of problems and this (if it even is one) belongs far down the list of problems. More venues, lower costs, greater awareness... these are all things to be tackled before bringing weight limits in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago 3 hours ago, Fortythirtyeight said: Simple answer….MONEY ! 700 crowd for Premiership riders wage bill ? That sort of crowd probably only justifies a Championship level team , unless your going to follow a Birmingham scenario and be willing to lose buckets and buckets of cash. Well Birmingham didnt get crowds of 700 except for couple of occasions, Buxton would have derby matches against Sheffield and belle vue and Buxton’s rent is a 10th of Birmingham and also has the catering money which Birmingham didnt, so factor all that in and if they can get the same tv deal that was available this year it may just be a deal breaker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
