rabie Posted December 1, 2003 Report Share Posted December 1, 2003 from my clubs point of view there is no money in trials - we run British MX champs (like 5,000 spectators, etc) and we in MX can't see professionals making money from British champs (well maybe just), a club can just stretch to a UEM, sidecar, etc if its a really good club - but there is little correlation between status and crowd (NB huge extra costs). admittedly we've raised the British champs to be more like a series of internationals due to the large foreign participation, etc so the events are now of a higher status than in the recent past. For enduro i see even less ways of making money - just like trials really - enduros have been debated to death on SW enduro/off road site. So for trials i can't see a way of making money - the clubs can put nationals on for the love of the sport, but i doubt money is there...... BTW as you get bigger (eg like MX) the money seams to end up with the mystical *teams* - the clubs get very little of it. In MX the series sponsors money pays for things for the series - the clubs now pay for the *pleasure* of putting on a round..... rabie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
