  1. It's all inclusive. Most National League tracks charge £14, plus a couple of quid for the programme. The price is for admission, programme and parking. At how many tracks could you do all of those for £15.50? It's 19 heats and nine riders per team.
  2. Outright seventh for Jordan, then. Might have to amend the Scunny site, although I'd already used a little artistic licence in placing him ahead of the other riders on seven points and ignored any heat wins, etc
  3. Driving through a country is fine. Stopping to refuel and pay by card at the pump is fine. As long you don't stop and socialise.
  4. AND was only one of two riders to beat Kenny Carter in the 1984 British Final!
  5. So, do you honestly think that people inside their own vehicles can somehow catch the virus? How exactly?
  6. The fact they had a run-off for eight (right to be first reserve?) bodes well for Palin.
  7. In any case, I think Kemp will be in the top six/seven. Hopefully Palin can make it too - certainly got the talent, even if he's a couple of years younger than most of the riders on display today.
  8. Both Kemp and Palin looking good on 5 points after two rides: http://online.speedwaylive.eu/international/junior-european-cup/pardubice/2020-08-14/
  9. Latest fixture news: http://scunthorpe-speedway.com/?p=11315
  10. Mimmo, it's a bit late in the day to fix up anything for today's meeting, but if you want to go to the next one, once details are announced (after, fingers crossed, all goes well today), then please let me know and I can arrange something. Anne, who does the turnstile, is fantastic. We can sort out something for you.
  11. There is a reason why. Don't worry, it's not in the thousands Seriously, though, when I spoke to Rob G his main priority is for everyone is attendance to feel safe. There will be further items added to the website to explain the measures in place, so that everyone knows that there are safe to come along and enjoy some speedway.
  12. Sorry hadn't spotted any questions until now. It's not possible to order a ticket for 6902 people. I wouldn't advise it, because it might take a while to retrieve the 40 grand! Sales are monitored. And no, the capacity at Scunthorpe hasn't been made common knowledge as yet, but hopefully it is high enough for everyone wanting to attend a British Youth Round. But if you definitely want to come, book now to avoid any disappointment.
  13. Hurri-Ken almost repeated the feat of Jack Young. In the '56 World Final, while still a second division rider, he fell in his final race at Wembley. It cost him a run-off for first place with Ove Fundin. There was much less gap in standard of riders between the leagues at that point.
  14. It was less unusual in the days before the points limit - teams often moved up with the same team (1957 was a different situation, because there was an influx of riders from the teams not running - for example, the closure of Poole took Ken Middleditch to Robins). The likes of Graham Warren, Alan Hunt and Jack Young (already World Champion when he moved up!) went from Second Division to First Division and took it in their stride. But that's not taking away how good Bob Roger was and what he may achieved without that serious injury early in 1958.
