And then of course, those handful of people are capable of infecting another handful of people in another crowd or on the bus or in the pub etc. That is how an epidemic works. Every infected person is capable of passing it on and very likely will do. The danger is in close contact in whatever setting.

Indeed he has. But as we know, he is never wrong (he says).

Give us an A and another one! Give us an M & an N. And an H please, then a C. And finally a P please.

Plenty of evidence there of the pettiness that exists at the top level of speedway. No hope I feel for concern for minorities such as the disabled or those with mobility or other BB issues.

If that is true then he / she is very unlikely to be able to pour oil on troubled waters of any kind ( or have any interest in doing so ).

I too was there all day on Saturday -mostly to see the new generation of UK speedway riders ( and some were truly exceptional ). It was a well organised and very intersting day - the 2 Brothers Stunt Team were excelllent. However on the attendance it sounds like VERY rose tinted glasses were counting, as I estimated there were less than a well supported regualr speedway match! 1.500 tops and that in great weather for the time of the year.

Were I able to prostrate myself in prayer that that would come about I would. And although "Nothing is impossible with God" those who listen only to Mammon rarely listen to His directions. Free will exists especially for the Management of Peterborough Speedway!

Too high an expectation for speedway management in most cases and in this one definetly so. Effort, consideration and communication! No an edict is an edict.

Sadly, in one way, that is how it was at The Dirt Track Show last weeeknd at King;s Lynn. I hugely enjoyed the brilliant new young generation of speedway riders ( Oh Max Perry! ) and the 2 Brothers Stunt Show 9/10 on Saturday, but I was the only person in one part of the Disabled seating. And no one was with two or thteee metres. But a very poor turn out in good weather conditions.

At least for 3 - 4 months this will be a real problem and rightly so. We do not need any further reasons to stay away from meetings. Any rider or mechanic etc bringing in the virus could have a devatating effect on the elderly fanbas of UK speedway in case of infection. I know several supporters who have multiple health problems ( including myself ).

They have been in touch with me and I confirmed that I am willing to speak with them. Waiting for them to get back to me. Literally as I typed this they have got back to me!

Please don't "invest" it in speedway Ronnie! The only person to have made money out of it in the last 25 years is his brother. Withour title sponsors it would have long gone bust.

My young lady lives and works in Hong Kong and they have a total - so far of ...100 infections. The UK will catch that up over the weeknd! The most recent problem in Hong Kong was an infected Brit flying in and then catching the train to Shenzhen while infected and merrily infecting Hong Kongers and Chinese people alike. Straight into quarantine there. Which we have never bothered to do so far at UK airports!. At the HK airport - less risk than Heathrow!

A well written obituary for someone who never makes any kind of a risk assessment. A life lived withour a care in the world.

Limit tickets to 5,000 for SON and don't allow any Italian riders, mechanics or officials ( sorry Armando ) and you should be OK. Not too many domestic matches ever draw anywhere near 5,000 ( except for the playoffs on a very good night ). and Except for that very optimistic person counting at Swindon, where there are usually close to that figure it is claimed.

Spot on! It was far better, less predictable racing rather than a first and second bend melee and - well, that's it! All over bar dodging stones coming your way from the riders following each other round and hoping to gate better next time.

Most importantly of all, I suspect that Cook believes he is on the way down and in speedway confidence and self belief is everything.

They follow utterly and remorselessly the Chairman Mao style of management. Do as you are told.

What this fan really wants to see is that in a majority of races the positions will stand a very good chance of changing after 1/2 lap. And that riders believe that that is possible and make a real effort to do so, rather than accept after that first 1/2 lap that the result is set in stone. And settle for a high speed verion of line dancing. Bring back racing and the belief that having a serious go is worth it. Not least to entertain the remaining supporters!

The cognoscenti will not be walking very far, not because of their lack of mobility but becasue of the valuable nature of theri time. Vastly more important than even the riders.

Mere fans and seemingly of no value nowadays, Soon it will be behind closed doors for sponsors and their families and guests only. A bit like that at some tracks now.

If so, better late than never. I used to love going but in recent years, 3 or 4 mins of interest in a meeting, has almost killed off the likelihood of me watching live in the stadium. Wiil give it at least one try this season, just in case you are right.

Only if there are now only four teams in the "top" league.

They almost certainly realise it but care not a whit! If you don't agree, you are wrong. Simple really.

He might know that some people come back regularly if his teams win at home but he does not seem to accept that some others won't come back regularly, if it is invariably boring, processioanl racing.
