So all being well Berwick should start the season on 22nd May with a home match against Birmingham, meaning away meetings at Eastbourne and Glasgow as well as home meetings with Glasgow and Scunthorpe to be re-arranged, not unless the powers that be rewrite the fixture list all over again.
If clubs have to run with reduced numbers, what is the capacity of the like of Wolves where only the home straight can be used. For the like of my team, Berwick, running at 25% should be a problem as Shielfield Park has a capacity of 4000.
Speedway cannot run without fans in the stadium, whether clubs will need to make a choice that they can run with restricted numbers could be another question.
First time for everything, but the numbers on vaccinations along with positive Covid cases, hospital admissions, deaths etc seem to be heading in the right direction. Whether we get a full league, KOC programme could be another matter of course.
Very possible, certainly for a May start, however the summer months will see a natural reduction in Covid cases added to that an increase in the number of vaccinations I am optimistic we will see speedway this summer. At a guess through the summer months of June, July and August.
The rising stars signings for the Premiership clubs makes sense in most cases, but with no dis-respect to the riders intended, how on earth Josh Bates and Tom Bacon can be described as rising stars is beyond me. They have clubs yet someone like Leon Flint is left on the sidelines.
