No figures to back that theory up, and I’ve read that comment before. I’ve been to both nights and whilst Cradley had great attendances they were no way ‘better’ crowds. Cradley in their own stadium would hands down top any attendance figure imho. Plenty of Cradley fans won’t go to Wolverhampton to support Cradley which just goes to show how dedicated their fans are if they were ever able to come back on their own. If all teams had fans like Cradley ones the sport would be in a healthy place. Although I’m baulking at the idea that any general speedway fan has the displeasure to admit being from Cradley.

Lee Kilby has done fixture lists for a May/June or July return. The first 2 he reckons we could still get a full season with cooperation from all promoters. The July return would be trickier and probably involve 1 home and away league fixture. At least the BSPA seem to have contingency plans.

Great heat 12.

What an insightful post that you have randomly hand picked. I assume you yourself have done your homework on the virus versus generally expected expectations? You do know that on average over a thousand people die on any given day in the UK? (It was 1400 in 2019 btw) You do know that an average of 17,000 die every year from flu in the UK with a high of over 28,000 in 2014/15 and a low of just under 1700 in 2019? Published by Public Health England btw. Those figures may suggest the high figures was before the current vaccine was successful. There are lots of stats out there if you want to educate yourself. I’m assuming you have done the same. Covid19 still has “flu like symptoms” and no one can deny the severity of the virus. Nearly 80,000 have had and recovered from the virus to put the risk factor into context. Its a serious virus that NO ONE should take lightly anymore. And lockdown is now the only way of slowing it. Until they find a vaccine this will still be a killer. Just like SARS and Flu before it. Id love to hear your take on the stats and information shared and those you have clearly seen yourself. Replies without personal insults would be appreciated.

He is what 21/22 and has achieved a lot in his career already. I can’t believe anyone would say he has reached his peak. So long as he takes the chances offered to him and makes the most of trying to break thru in the Polish league I’d like to think there is plenty more to come. The trouble being of course is that he has been thrust onto the world stage pretty early in his career so that’s always going to be hard to top. I see no reason why he won’t continue growing as a sportsperson.

The good thing is that some teams are still allowed to official practice then.

I don’t believe an ambulance is required for a practice session.

I know you have to have access to medical cover (via 999 I’d imagine) for practise and amateur meetings even amateur practise. Wether that would even be allowed to happen I’d say is highly unlikely. id imagine ‘organised’ racing would have to have St Johns.

It’s what we all expected despite the lone mouthpiece of the forum thinking they were the only one that knew.

Which just goes to show they had already made the decision last week if they are letting riders leave the country. As always the authorities assume the public are stupid.

Yes apparently so, but there are other teams affected. Birmingham have 2 Italians in their team who I believe aren’t here either.

We all know your true colours however. If I’m so ‘selfish’ why was I shopping for elderly and vulnerable today to get them some essentials they desperately need that the greedy are taking for themselves? know nothing, know nothing , know nothing.

What utter codswallop and you know it. Unless they have relatives who are elderly and vulnerable they don’t ‘need caring for’. The riders must have been told they won’t be racing for their clubs till at least April which begs the question why aren’t the fans being told this instead of this secrecy of a meeting tomorrow that will update fans on the current situation. By all accounts we all know the season isn’t starting this week if riders are being allowed to isolate so this isn’t going to be any new news. Most people will have guessed all this anyway, even you.

If the riders have been told then why not just tell the fans too? There should be no cloud of mystery

I can’t see many businesses allowing staff to self isolate in a different country. Although of course they are self employed. Just doesn’t sit right with when you have work waiting to start in a matter of weeks.

Why they can’t self isolate in the country they are working in is beyond me tho.

Agree, have no idea why the originator of the thread put SKY instead or Eurosport. Still, as the deal with Eurosport for top flight league matches the thread is in the right place. (Shame the title is misleading!)

Because the TV deal is for the top flight.

Regarding the tweet reply, Speedway Star reports the BSPA have spoken to Eurosport about fixtures and the possibilities of some being run behind closed doors.

BT have only got the GP’s. Eurosport has got the rights to the rest (EC, PL, WU21)

Oh yes, I get your point now

I know there is a difference when we are looking at a council led build and a gaming company with a seemingly poor history. I guess time will only tell but I hope the Swindon fans get what they are expecting.

Maybe so then. Perhaps it’s me but I don’t remember much positivity when it was mentioned a new stadium would be built to replace the old Kirky Lane.

Not different at all. Nobody believed a new stadium would be built.
