No wonder it's out of control with attitudes like this... Some people just don't get it

Think of the media coverage speedway would get if it were the only sport running... This could be the saving of our sport

Scotland to ban gatherings of more than 500 from Monday

Have you been to the UAE? NZ, the most friendly I've ever encountered

Perhaps we can get Zmarzlik et al riding in the British League then... every cloud...

Even more reason for people to get out and support the Ben fund meeting this weekend... Maybe the last speedway seen for a while?

R/R for 2 weeks

I wonder if the PL will be contractually obliged to by Eurosport

Or they null and void the league just when they're on the brink

Having read his book it comes across as it actually means quite a lot to him... "him" being the important word, it reads as though he doesn't care who he wins it with as long as he wins it.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/amp/51777154 I wonder if Rob Godfrey has been invited?

I've just finished Tai's book "Raw Speed"... or as it should have been called "It Is What It Is". And while it was very interesting to read his take on things (I still can't make head nor tail of why he punched Ben Barker, other than they were both drunk) I have to say that I don't think I've ever read a more poorly written "Autobiography" and I've read a few. At least a third of the book must be pure filler as it goes off at tangents giving irrelevant and needless details and giving you history of who people are and and venues etc. Which quite clearly haven't been penned (or even thought of, I suspect) by Tai. And if I had a pound for every time I read the sentence "As I've mentioned before"... Take away all of the filler and I don't think it's anything more than an extended Speedway Star interview. 6/10

Suppose so... The Daily Express & ITV wouldn't be my first port of call for facts though

When you say 17,000 of course you actually mean 600 https://vk.ovg.ox.ac.uk/vk/influenza-flu

Yeah! Bloody bed blocker! Ps. Everybody else, I'm being ironic

If this is the rumour you are referring to: Perhaps he didn't accept the £30,000 + keep his medal... because he knew he could get £50,000 Who knows?

Mortality rates for seasonal flu is 0.1% Government says mortality rate for coronavirus will be 1% The maths of the current mortality rate is around 3.5% Do the maths

When you say us... you mean you?

Once the outbreak is out of control there's no real point in travel restrictions, the horse has bolted... it will then be down to the vulnerable to look out for themselves

I'm passing from one band to the other in June, so I hope it's gone by then

Good news: apparently some lovely human has offered Ronnie £30,000 so he can keep his medal

so we've all had it at least I got to see Leicester win the league... in Speedway & Football

and it takes around a year

When we're talking about flu, I'm assuming we're talking about seasonal flu and the vaccine inoculates against multiple variants on what is predicted to be the most prevalent

Yes it does... and there's a vaccine for that and you start to show symptoms pretty quickly as there's around a 2 day incubation period, not 2-3 weeks. The question here is not who's right and who's wrong but how wrong do you let it get before doing something about it? Do we wait until 17,000 die before starting to act on it? You only have to do 1x2x3x4x5x6 etc. into a calculator before you start to come up with some very scary numbers!
