The key will be getting a proper number one I guess, hopefully they can find one. Brady Kurtz? Mark Lemon taking one for the good of the sport? Woffy at Belle Vue as back up to Bewley in SWC year to show his fitness levels?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the logical move Mike to try and help them maybe thats why Kurtz is being delayed, I just hope they don't get stuck with someone 5-10 years past their sell by date who stiffs the owners for ten's of thousands and delivers near zero. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InTheDeepStuff Posted Thursday at 08:09 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:09 PM Isn’t there a STAARS meeting tonight, wonder if there’ll be any update on the Ipswich buy out and Northampton if it’s going be a yes or no? Assuming the Tigers Ten tickets will get a push or two with Sheffield like the other clubs desperate for some sort of income ahead of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are now halfway though the latest 2 week window for the sale to be completed. The lease for Foxhall was a hold up but that is now resolved.

Wollyhat Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Not a lot to report from the STAARS meeting. Ipswich and Northamton, there are daily zoom meetings. Sheffield are not having a headline team sponceer but teaming up with the Childrens Hospital to promote their chatity. This was well recieved. Talk of setting up a proper supporters club to try and ge better away suport. Meetin concluded with a fantastic race night put on by Ryan. Meeting very well atended and a good night had by all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racin Jason 72 Posted 10 hours ago Report Share Posted 10 hours ago It’s worrying times because if Sheffield lost money last year then they certainly will this year. £80k less income this year I’d imagine. £60k via tv money and £20k possibly from a headline sponsor. points limit slashed and a weaker product and no doubt a price increase at the turnstiles will bring the crowds flocking. when will speedway learn that after 20 attempts of this master plan it’s quite obvious the 21st attempt will fail too. i 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just let away fans into tracks for free, (or a nominal fee), when it isn't a "local derby"... 40 or so maybe inclined to put on a coach if they were getting in for nothing/minimal amount. Adding atmosphere is one of the big challenges the sport faces, and getting a few dozen away fans in attendance would definitely help that massively ..

Just bring along 2 utility bills and photo ID as proof... that'll get them queuing at the turnstiles 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
