THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago 1 minute ago, M.D said: It was a massive issue under Ian Jordan at Eastbourne, I spoke with Chris Louis and he said Jordan was paying Richard Lawson more than he was at Ipswich, not that Jordan paid RL in full at the end.. I sort of understand riders wanting bigger and bigger deals because unfortunately most come into the sport with the mentality of it’s my living and I don’t blame them for that, if anyone is at fault it’s the sport feeding that illusion to them but for me it wasn’t my living it was my dream and I lived it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very few, if any, put some of that money into the future of their clubs or British speedway in general... So what did the promotors in the late 90s through till last season do with the tv money?

The general impression is the number one's at the time hoovered up most of it and once the trough was empty most decamped to new troughs in Poland.

I've just told my mate that Ouch was taking up Speedway and that he doesn't think he will be as good as Dan.. He said "Who the eff are Ouch and Dan, and what the eff is Speedway?".. See. Already you are at Dan's level... Sorry for the late response as I’ve been working on merchandise. Currently available is a rather nice hernia belt and banded pile cream. Know your customers. Phil Morris has also made me the speed limiter the sport has for so long been talking about. Speedway - Fuelled by Gaviscon.
