Farnborough v Lymington Town today in the FA cup.

We'll be on the third wave by then!

Nothing yet.

Some riders have probably got jobs to see them through the winter. Why jeopardise that for one meeting.

If speedway is up and running. How many people really think that the bug will be a thing of the past come March next year.

Crumpie should be in it as well!

Will the meeting be financially viable with 1000 fans.

According to the BBC, test events will be restricted to 1000 punters.

I reckon grass roots will be ok. Professional sports with larger crowds look a no goer.

British final ticket sales suspended, no crowds at the St Ledger. The writing is on the wall.

Godalming Town v Farnham Town last night. A brutal Surrey derby under the lights.

I first saw him ride as a sixteen year old at Crayford's reopening meeting in 1975. He was one of the few riders that could regularly pass Penhall when he was at his peak.

The clubs most at threat are those that rent greyhound stadiums. Dog racing is another cloth cap sport, like speedway, that is dying on its feet.

Not a lot, i would have thought!

Just got back from Horley Town v Newhaven. Crowd was about 150. Only a few people were wearing masks, plenty of room to social distance.

I can't see any greyhound stadiums allowing speedway events this year.

And the third and fourth bend. It was a good view from there.

Just under 400 was the figure i saw.

Capacity was 600 at Leatherhead on Monday and only 150 at Guildford on Wednesday. Both matches were all ticket.

With the restrictions slowly being eased, has anyone ventured out to any sporting events. I have attended three speedway meetings at Lydd, Scunthorpe and King's Lynn. I have also been to two non league football matches at Leatherhead and Guildford City. It's been great to try and get back to some kind of normality.

My mum was at West Ham the night Ernie Roccio was killed. She seldom talked about the incident. She was always a reluctant visitor to Custom House right up until the 1970's.

Depends what day it is.

I used to call Arena, the elephants graveyard of London and south east speedway. Everyone that went there, used to support someone else!

It's the people at Arena i miss. Yes it was a dump, and a poxy place to get to for us fans south of the river. With Rye gone as well, it's pretty bleak for speedway fans in that neck of the woods.

There's a suprise. No landowner is going to want sitting tenants on their property.
