Well there’s always the less risky choice of taking a ‘wild wee’, blob of hand sanitizer.  All sorted.  
 

As for prices I seem to recall in Football.  If  for example a Club gets relegated out of the Premier League to the Championship prices do fall.   I’m sure Baggy can confirm ( or otherwise) as at Carrot Road it’s a regular occurrence, but not next season hey Baggy :t:

Generally Nodge have kept season ticket  prices the same I believe whether promoted or relegated, they’ve always been pretty good at that. Casual ticket prices do go up and down but depend on opposition anyway. Just a point on Saturday semmers assuming Swans and Brentford both win at lunch time!

Why are the Speedway Promotions blamed for bad toilet and other things when most of the stadiums are rented  from other owners. mostly Greyhound premoters

I accept that but how difficult would it be for speedway promoters to have a quick clean of the facilities before a meeting and make sure soap, bog roll etc is replenished?

Big Roll ?  Are the burgers that bad these days :D

Saturday night should see them clinch promotion.  I think in all the years I’ve watched The Canaries I don’t recall a total Football side like this.   Ok different era’s bring different styles but this season has been something else.

Yep this season has been even better than two years ago, much less gung ho and tighter at the back but sublime going forward. Recruitment has been spot on and absolutely has to be the same in the summer as last time in the PL the signings were poor.

Blamed? No but rightly flagged up as an issue that needs to be solved by stadium owners and their tenants

Apologies to all you football haters but this is special times to be a Narwich fan.

Recruitment was poor last time around.  I think the club said they had made the Premiership a year ahead of when they ideally wanted to be there and the finances weren’t in place to spend on the squad.  Plus there were a lot of young uns who weren’t quite ready ( Lewis, Godfrey, Arrons, Cantwell to name a few).  This time I think they will make more of a fist of it.  The real big issue is how many of the players they need can they keep hold off.  That’s the big challenge.

 

As for Speedway, I so want to fall back in love with it, but they don’t make it easy.  Maybe a strong start to the season will rekindle the interest enough to give it a look.

Come and watch these guys,  the press conferences, when we get back to them, reveal loads, the riders are put on the spot, they don't shy away,  there is a chance to ask questions of them, great interaction ....... 

There was some really good racing on Monday imo, no holding back .......

Just read about travel restrictions to Germany. Anyone know if that's gonna impact Erik? Right royal pain if it does as r/r certainly won't do us any favours

With the Stars making two changes to the team already, I wonder if Ty Proctor is looking over his shoulder? With scores of 3 and 2 in the first couple of home matches, he at least managed 6 points at Ipswich, although that was from seven rides and included three last places. I hope for his sake Ty can up his game quickly otherwise I have the feeling he will be the next rider for the axe.

I’m not so sure Bridger looks more at threat .

At the moment I’m not sure who should be replaced ,Proctor or Bridger but whoever goes their replacement has got to have an average good enough to keep either Proctor or Bridger at reserve for the rest of the season.

Well they can have over a 7 pointer to replace any of them but should be Proctor imo.A 7 point rider should be capable of staying in the main body of the team.
