Absolutely, rural Surrey is a different world to living in London.

I also fear a lot of dog stadiums could fall by the wayside, which will lead to a natural reduction in club numbers.

Plus a lot of the speedway going population moved out of London, me included!

Very sensible, if the country opens up in different tiers.

Most speedway fans in the south east are Jonah's. The majority of us supported Defunct clubs at one time or another.

It's all down to personal choice. I had no problem attending a few speedway meetings last summer and multiple non league football matches from August till December. Being a key worker, I've had the jab, but i can understand why some people won't want to mix with crowds at sporting events. For me personally, i can't wait for it to start.

I wouldn't blame clubs for not running two teams. It's a big financial gamble in the current climate.

A very slim chance of a one off GP, but league racing never again.

My first speedway hero at Wimbledon in 1968. I also saw him ride regularly at West Ham for a couple of seasons. RIP Olle.

I visited Stoke in their last season and was impressed how the place had been tidied up. The track was also decent, but the water bowser broke down mid meeting. It had its faults, but the sport can't afford to lose any venues.

Still a few meetings in Kent for me to go to. It's a decent afternoon out, with most of the tracks only an hour from my home.

Unbelievable signing. If Crumpie don't pull the crowds in, nothing will!

Hopefully the amateur and grasstrack scene will resume in the summer months.

You like him then!

Has the stadium got a health and safety certificate, let alone the track. When was the last time Odsal staged a full capacity sporting event.

They met at Eastville in 1977 and 78.

No suprise there then. Linlithgow was a great little set up, i went there twice. Fond memories.

I saw Mauger ride twice in Exeter home meetings in 1984. He was decent and still very fast out of the starts!

I remember Eric Boocock making a short lived Comeback for Halifax, after a few years out of the saddle.

Especially when he's at the back!

Speedway is the simplest of sports, tied up by complicated rules. None of the nonsense the mafia come up with, will bring the crowds back again.

When the top flight goes down to four teams, we can do away with the majority of the season.

Being a neutral, i really don't care about the results. Enjoy your club whilst you have one. Mine closed 15 years ago, with flats and a football ground being built on it's site.

My levels are decreasing slowly. The loss of Lakeside and Rye House are a major factor in this. If Eastbourne, Kent or the IOW folded, my numbers would come down considerably. I've lost a lot of my appetite for long distance travelling due to the pandemic. Will this ever return, who knows. I'll be a couple of years older when things finally get back to normal.

Being a neutral, i don't care about the rules. I just want to see some decent racing on a well prepared track. I want a well run meeting that represents good value for money. Is that too much to ask, or are my expectations too high!
