Ok thanks

Can someone advise please? On speedway nights having not been to Owlerton for a number of years do you have to book for the restaurant or can you just turn up thanks?

Problems at Eastbourne as I understand it as well. One of either 2 things as I see it. Firstly travel restrictions and polish league restrictions lifted and we get in more foreign riders or secondly we go back to the mid nineties and have one league. Like most things is life now speedway is over burdened with regulations and most people just cannot be bothered any more.

Spot on and unfortunately we are unlikely to see a fully fit Crump this year so whilst his recovery time would be longer than a much younger rider I think it's unfair of those who say hes no longer up to it, given a certain Mr Hancock ( albeit in regular European racing) was world champion at was it 46 or 47. Unfortunately I think our season unravelled before it started when Klindt pulled out. If Klindt was riding it would have taken the pressure away from Crump. The promoters have tried their best to put together a good side but all the injuries has just rubbed salt into the wound. As for the erractic form of some riders well that's anyone's guess.

Yes you are right, perhaps the only suitable alternative is to flood the league with foreign riders again and as you say blood 2 rising stars in every team. The other alternative is the continuous slow death of the sport in this country.

Two options I guess , the first one is import more foreigners once restrictions are lifted or secondly blood our own youngsters ( which could be messy). Failing that the sport falls on its arse cos either no one can be bothered or make any money out of it.

I think some perspective is needed here. Firstly the season was in trouble as soon as Klint was unavailable. However I think its unfair to criticise the management as the changes should ( and I emphasise should) improve things. Clearly things are still mixing and I guess crump was desperate to return but clearly not fit. The desperate shortage of riders has got to come to a head soon and I can only see one thing and that is one big league again.

Lots of people moaning at our end about poor performances recently at least we have a well supported team with good local media coverage. For that we should be grateful. Hope it all works out down there.

I use to really like Oxford although being an Ipswich fan most times we got turned over! I guess the place including the excellent restaurant must be in a right 2 and 8 these days? However if it did reopen surely the first laps would have to be ridden by the master himself? In my opinion still the greatest rider of all time.

Monday must be in doubt given the rain we have already had and what's coming especially monday?

As an Ipswich fan I was at Monmore last week when you trimmed us up. However more importantly a fantastic venue that it is cannot be lost and this is the problem when government gives local authorities powers. At foxhall last week for the lynn meeting many people reckon the crowd was nearer 3000 than the 2000 'officially' allowed. Unfortunately all those that have agreed with these ridiculous restrictions and the strangling of the economy may very soon get what they wish for unfortunately!

I think we all know changes will be made. However with the additional travel restrictions getting in riders is going to be more difficult than ever. Added to that with all this doubling up theres going to be more injuries down the line and I don't think we will be the only team to suffer. With all the ageing riders are they going to run out of steam? Pedersen being a prime example on monday.

No worries I felt sorry for the people coming in. Often these decisions are made by people who don't understand the situation. Having said that it seemed to resolve itself. Seems a bit daft though if you were sitting at the back near the bar or the tote booths you had to stand up to watch the racing.

I came out of the bar for a smoke and CVS looked like he was getting grief off a few people. Basically the bar seats were full up. Presumably because some goon from the council said every other table must be vacant. Of course the tables remaining filled up quickly then people coming into the bar were left standing and presumably got upset about it. What did they think the promoters could do about it I don't know as their hands are tied. Unfortunately this is the net result when the government dishes out powers to local councils.

An excellent solid win with everyone doing their bit. Good to see Stewart practising after the meeting. Big improvement from Kemp after last week. Sometimes we just need to be patient. Looks like Monday at Wolves could be a good test after their win tonight.

I regret not going there now its closed was the location a problem for previous promoters?

I agree from where I was standing on the 3rd turn it looked a decent crowd certainly more than a thousand.

I've just got back from lynn and what an excellent performance that was. Yes we were a bit leggy towards the end but the hard work was done in the first 10 heats. Since 2019 we seemed to have got that hunger and desire back to want to win again. And lets be honest most of us probably predicted a defeat with a weakened team. For me this bodes well for another good season and hopefully back to full strength on Thursday. Let's keep the faith and well done to Richie and Chris.

Just purchased my ticket. The Lynn website was a bit slow this morning as well. I presume for many supporters particularly the older ones will want to pay on the gate. In that case if the 2000 limit is reached online a statement will be issued? In addition will we be told where to stand as I guess most of us will be on bends 1 and 2 and the backstraight? I don't fancy being on bends 3 and 4.

Have KL confirmed yet how many tickets will be sold ?

Welcome to the East German Premier league!

Lol

I asked a question there was no need to be offensive you horrible little person!

Does anyone know the situation with 'smoking' are you allowed to remove the gimp mask?

This is why people need to do their research before becoming hysterical. Looks like the north east will be the first part of the economy to collapse. Pubs and restaurants under restrictions and people naturally go out to meet friends and family. Now that it is illegal the north east hospitality sector might as well shut down now!
