Brisbane on a 3-day lockdown!!?

I'm sure I read it somewhere that Doyley - having lived in UK for some years - is going to seek British Citizenship in the not too distant future.

Last year there were a few fixture options on the table for a curtailed season (which Lee Kilby worked on) depending what start date was allowed. Why would similar options plus one or two others eg 6-man teams etc not be on the table for 2021. All Promoters know what the options are - they just need to further discuss, vote and get a majority view.

Helping a Polish teammate!!

I'm sure they've all attended previous AGMs in their underpants..........

Yes you are right. I didn't scroll down to the end of the Gillman Speedway results page. Just wanted to see if Bailey was in the meeting.

Thats a repeat of last week's Speedway Star article!!

Well he didn't take part in the Gillman meeting yesterday. A meeting incidentally won by Jaimon Lidsey; 2nd Jason Crump; 3rd Justin Sedgman.

There are lots of official and non-official comments from various promotions about ' considering the bigger picture', rather than what may or may not be best for their individual club.

On facebook someone has posted a sort of update that Gillman Speedway have stated that he is back in their line-up for their meeting today/tomorrow, which suggests that someone in authority has restored his licence?! Don't know if its true or not

They have. Almost every week!!

I think they've 'zoomed' it, as they can't actually meet up!!

Reading the various messages today on/from the BSPL and club websites I guess all promoters have been encouraged to be positive about starting as soon as is possible in 2021.

Good point. Its so long since I worked that I missed that advice!!

Riders will also have to live in the same tier as their clubs operate if travelling between tiers (or indeed from other countries) is still the requirement.

All very well if you have access to your track/stadium at weekends??!!!

...and yet there are still 20+ promoters/business men/fans (Including some in a younger age group) across the UK who declare their intention to run each year with some eg Eastbourne already forward planning for 2022 and beyond!!!

All clubs have stated their intention to run in 2021 - with the season fixtures commencing (hopefully) from Easter.

He is - along with his brother.

Somerset are supportive of the Glasgow position. A number of other clubs are supportive of 'the bigger picture'?! Poole have stated they are happy to go with the majority - presumably having sounded out possible replacements for Adam Ellis just in case?! Lets not forget the Promoters have been having regular Zoom meetings so they all know what the points options and/or team numbers are likely to be. Its simply that some are keeping their own counsel whilst others go public!!

Lets not forget the Rye House Stadium is remaining, just changing its mix of sports if the 'owners' get their way. As far as the terms of the lease are concerned there are differences to other stadia leases mentioned above on that 'speedway' is actually named as a 'must have' sport. Whether that carries any weight at all with the local Council or the owners remains to be seen. The Star article did mention that the Fan Group does have legal and Planning Reg experts on board!!

Just wait until there is a total ban on Betting Company advertising and sponsorship!! That is what is funding the Sky/BT coverage.

There was an article in the Speedway Star a couple of weeks ago that 'a Rockets Fan Group' were in discussion with the local Council on the basis that what the stadium operators were doing contravened the terms of the lease, which I understand includes the fact the 'Speedway must be included'!!?

yes.

They cannot meet as a group but have been having weekly Zoom meetings as quoted by Mr Dickson in the Star this week and on the BSPL website today.
