How good would it be getting to Foxhall tonight? What’s even more frustrating is seeing packed beaches all over the country, being able to drink a pint in a pub next weekend and then go and sit in a Cinema and watch a movie, but not able to watch Speedway outdoors! The 2 meters rule being reduced to 1(plus) would surely make it even easier for the majority if not all clubs to implement social distancing in Well I've just had the day at Chessington. All perfectly fine with nothing in place that couldnt happen at a speedway meeting...... Let's get it on!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Fingers and everything else crossed we can watch some racing in August! I’m sure every other promoter will take exactly the same precautions as Chris Louis has just said he’ll be doing at Ipswich. PPE for staff, socially distancing, hand sanitizing are all perfectly doable to make a couple of hours in the open air watching Speedway no more or less of a risk than most of us will encounter in our day to day lives. Let’s get on with it. Edited July 9, 2020 by Arch Stanton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickthemuppet Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 It's rather odd than we cannot go to watch live speedway in this country yet we can watch more live speedway matches on television than any other year. Sometimes 5 times a week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one of clubs Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Apparently there is a big meeting of the league bosses planned in two weeks time. Perhaps we will hear something shortly after that.

JamesB Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Surely, that’s the green light for speedway from 11th July. If I can sit outside watching an arts performance then I can watch speedway whilst socially distanced. Is Crump on his way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Anyone follow Adam Ellis?

Super Blue Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I think whether we see Nicolai or not will be heavily dependent on what type of speedway we actually get to see, if any! If Individual meetings were on the cards then no. If we were to see some sort of curtailed league I believe given his previously stated commitment he would ride for us on a Thursday. All we need is to get the go ahead and we'll find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps we will hear something shortly after that. My wife has her hair done at the hairdressers that Kyle Howarth's mother works at. Why 2 weeks time? This meetiing should have already happened and a plan to run should be on the governments table awaiting a green light. At this rate there will still be BSPA meetings in the autumn, then the season will start only to be postponed after lots of rain offs. The BSPA will then issue a statement staying they did all they could and "what more could they do?" I had heard at the end of April that the season would not go ahead this year due to certain promoters saying it was not viable due the rider availability and "full" crowds needed. Speedway doesn't have the most proactive of approaches to getting things sorted. Now is the time for someone to step up. Looks as though no speedway in 2020 will be the case.....

Even more so I would think if you had only a restricted time in which to earn as much as you can.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
