I dont read that as a top ten chart, rather just a list of ten popular sports in the UK. But speedway would be well down any list. Each year british Moto GP and F1 events get far more British speedway gp. Think in recent years it has out numbered world superbike crowds but that still leaves it as the 3rd biggest motorsport in the country.

Chuganov 50 more Janowski 50 more spread stretcher please.

Link broke for anyone else?

There were a lot of complaints this week about mondays meeting at Taunton, lack of social distancing and no masks. Apparantly Ipswich felt far "safer" on the sat night. But it seems its not just one or two local authorities allowing it, nearly all active tracks have hosted meetings, those that haven't, have them planned for the upcoming weeks.

And fresh from a very serious injury

Bit of a concern when one of our most talented young riders in Leon Flint only scores a couple of points against a field made up 2/3s unknown to me riders. Where do these other countries (outside poland) develop these youngsters to beat championship reserve level riders. Or is it simply the British tendancy to struggle on European shale and Leon would of beaten most of them on uk soil?

Any team news yet, hoping Anders gets the nod for the Railmen

My mistake, yeah that has to be a valid concern too.i was thinking on a purely financial basis.

Len has already stated publically that regardless of what happens, Kent are good to run in the championship in 2021. Think in most part due to making a profit every year we have existed. Hopefully most other clubs will come back to tapes.

I have various family that are active in different formulas. I can re confirm before covid that Saloon, Historic stox did not pay to race nor the national bangers. As far as I am aware the only formulas that paid to race were non Orci formulas when racing at ORC tracks and some formulas that have had dwindling numbers have had to pay a deposit to book in(to insure viable numbers come raceday I believe.)

Laguta 50 more Kk 50 more. Will do the Thursday bets on Thursday.

They don't usually pay to race (accept a £2 levy to the ORCi) at stock car meetings, its just for a few behind doors meetings. In fact in the case of National Hot Rods, Brisca F1 and, (some) National Banger meetings get paid start money as well as the prize money. But to extend on your point about being amatuer, the BSPA have been making the point that NL is amateur level and therefore on that basis is 100 percent ok to start up.

Banger/stock car stadiums seem to be phasing spectators in over the next few weekends, as many share stadiums with speedway and get far larger crowds and far more competitors and mechanics. Things must be looking positive toward starting up speedway pretty soon.

Kk 100 more Laguta 50 more.

Smektala 50 more Pederson 50 more

If drabik gets banned they ll probably move chuginov into the top 5 so they have thier quota of "Poles" in main body?!?

Perfect, although slightly more gutted I only got the cheap seats, have to wait till 2022 to get back down the front again.

As I read the email, i dont have to do anything right, i just turn up next year with this years tickets?

I ll be front of the queue when we open.

May well of been on another topic, or even FB tbf.

Steve Rees runs Startrax, thier tracks 3 years ago were Belle Vue,Coventry (for national bangers, the stocks were run in house by Coventry stox ltd),Sheffield,Stoke. By the time the racing starts up again he will only have Sheffield. Think he is quite open his time at promoting speedway wasnt the greatest sucsess story it could of been, but for those anti Steve, I believe all the drainage and track works at Stoke in 17 or 18 came out of his pocket. I did post back in the winter when people where being negative, that Steve Rees could well re open the track if he found someone to take on speedway thier, and I was mocked. But looks like it may well come to fruition...

Could you message me an email address I could contact you on please mate.

Honestly mate, even simply instructions blow my mind when it comes to laptops. Anything past vista and I am screwed. Only recently turned it on again so I could record zoom videos for my tv page. If your prepared to have a look for me, i can put the laptop on at your leisure. Would be greatly appreciated. Obviously will offer a cash reward, or a liquid one when speedway fans are allowed to meet up again. if you have facebook, add me. Ben 'teaboy' Clifton. Maybe easiest way to communicate? many thanks again.

Would you be prepared to use team viewer (if that's still a thing) and take control of my laptop to see if you could install the game and then the update for me. I am totally useless at anything like this. Kind regards.

My journey is upto an hour each way depending on traffic, and know many more who travel further. I d be surprised if even 10 percent of our crowds hail from the swale area.
