So would I. I remember the Golden Greats events - I'd definitely go to see something like that.

And leave after all the public have left? -

Thing is, most public events nowadays have disabled parking (if parking spaces are provided at all) as those spaces nearest to the entrance/perimeter. In this case, can there not be space allocated near to where the riders parks their vans - I assume they'll still be allowed to drive inside the venue? If so, as far as I remember, this area is not segregated from the public so presumably a van hitting a person isn't thought to be as much of a risk as a car? -

Am I missing something here, are mobility scooters/wheelchairs banned from entry as well? Most blue badge holders I know and see are able to either walk short distances or used a scooter/chair? Absolutely right though that it should apply to all vehicles. -
Have never liked Tungate, always seems to have a ready excuse and a moody outlook. Missed a few meeting for Peterborough last season when it seemed he couldn't be bothered - including one at Foxhall where I felt really sorry for the rest of the side & manager. No thanks.

People are saying 6 matches but the announcement made on this forum says 25% and then 75% of league fixtures are complete - it doesn't say for each team. Is it certain it's 25% of every teams' fixtures?
-
Is it 25% of fixtures overall? So start later and you could still makes changes after just a handful of meetings? No doubt there'll be winners and losers as always and we'll all debate it on here

Not his strongest track results wise but hasn't been too bad in the British Finals there - in 2018 he beat Bewley, was the only rider to lead Lambert beyond the first bend and I think also led Cook for 3 & 3/4 laps, just missing out on a top two place. -
Good idea to restrict in my view, even if it's only to a lesser degree.

Disagree completely. There's little/no fat on him! In any case, weight has only a very very very small impact on speed. Ability, racing brain and machinery play a much bigger part. -
The thing about averages is they never tell the whole story. The team they're in and their confidence etc. play a huge part. Wright may have been at 1 3 or 5 but was fairly certain of finishing ahead of his team partner in a lot of races, Jensen not so much. A new track for Wright could erode or build his confidence, having a big impact.

As long as he's got his rolling start gloves on he'll be fine -

I think it really depends on a lot of factors - the disjointed home fixtures at Peterborough don't help the home riders and of course every team needs riders who are good away from home as well as those good at home. -

Disagree. Iversen was adequate at best for Ipswich at the end of last season and the others are too inconsistent. -
After that fours crash someone heckled him from the crowd so he went over and punched them, with what turned out to be a broken wrist! Always great value and also had the benefit of seeing him ride in Czech league match in Pardubice on an old 897 against GMs and he was still competitive.

Ha. My comment was for the whole of their list, not just Peterborough. -

The Daily Mail attacking towns in the North, surely not....... The analysis is completed undermined when you realise only 80k were asked, covering the whole of the country. -
I subscribe to Which? and their magazine is now wrapped in a material made from potato starch (but feels very much like plastic and has the weather protection/lightness of plastic) and is therefore much easier to dispose of environmentally.

I'd think Ipswich get over 1000 each week.
