  1. Rules made up by the people who have to follow them, great way of doing things so the definition of tests carried include the ones carried out to someone's house by the postman bet we all wish we could work to rules like these
  2. From the answer about numbers tested, if I understood the answer, which is not easy to do, 36,000 of the tests were home tests sent out yesterday, so not quite 100,000 tests carried out but I could have misunderstood the vague answer Just had to clarify the answer, so not 100,000 carried out as the ones in the post have been counted as done as well
  3. Yes Sam won representing Sheffield when Louis had an engine failure
  4. And hopefully that is where people will see that football, is not really that important and all they are bothered about is getting the money from the TV companies
  5. All to do with money, the bookies must be losing a fortune, so they need horse racing back, but until there is a relaxation of lockdown how can loads of people gather at a horse race meeting but not in a public park? Plus you need paramedics, ambulances etc which wont be allowed at the moment
  6. Cant see football happening behind closed doors until some relaxation of the lock down rules what's the difference between a football match behind closed doors, the Germans say that up to 300 people would be involved in a TV match with no supporters, and 22 kids playing in a park? (apart from money that is) bit hard to fine the kids for playing in a park while allowing professionals to the same thing
  7. They will all be practising in Australia this winter
  8. Great idea, extend it to other care workers as well, but would welcome reduced admission if my team can afford it
  9. I have now given up trying to discuss anything with him / her Facts don't matter just whatever agenda they want to put forward
  10. The problem is some outlay will already have been made, air fences etc, so some losses will still be made even if there is no speedway
  11. You have to consider the cost of air fares into this and who pays them The cost of air fares spread over a season is one thing, the cost spread over a third of a season are something different it may be that teams / riders may decide its not worth the outlay this year
  12. No chance, who would be buying tickets at this stage Got my hotels with a right to cancel, will wait until I cancel, but it wont be going ahead
  13. To be honest I want to watch speedway, so the Thursday night option at Sheffield appeals much more to me, so much so that I wouldn't attend the Sunday afternoon event
  14. Thats no problem nobody gets my last Rolo
  15. its about as realistic as anyone winning the PL after 38 matches have been played this season
  16. The problem with it only being for a month or two at most would be if it was worth while preparing tracks and spending money on preparation etc hopefully if we do manage to get a couple of months in, the supporters will go out and support the meetings in great numbers Would imagine Australia and New Zealand might have a few more riders next winter so riders can get the practice
  17. The tracks that teams rent would be available, if they survive the tracks that are owned would still be there but the owners may have gone bust so I suppose most of the tracks would be available, depending on people with money
  18. Could you please contact all the leaders from all the countries in the world and share your research with them so we can all get beck to normal, I am sure they would appreciate it I am now sure that you just on a wind up, no one could come out with statements as stupid as yours if it not a wind up. as I keep falling for your wind up I will now stop answering your posts
  19. Really, where do you live? Because I have never known anything like this, and maybe you are the only one that has
  20. Of course they are, no one alive has had experience of anything like this, the last time it happened was 1918 when the flu killed more people that the war did. they are doing their best, as are the governments in all countries, without the knowledge of what is going to happen next. Therefore they are going to make mistakes, they will make the wrong decisions, they also need all people to buy into what they are telling us in the hope that are correct, and if they are not then so be it
  21. And that means what? to have an opinion on any subject, you have to search out any topic on that subject and join in
  22. I am afraid we will all have to pay eventually and if that's the price to pay to get through it, then so be it
  23. The medical cover here is for the riders if a supporter gets ill the racing has to stop while the paramedics deal with it
  24. What happens depend on whether the landlords can survive, if they do, speedway could be back for a few months this season and hopefully for a full season in 2021
  25. Not a chance, even the end of May is very doubtful The government is planning now for three months, so add another month onto that and we might start in August, never know first meeting we can attend might be Cardiff if we are lucky When it does start it will be a very truncated season probably with just league meetings with no play offs
