Super Blue Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 For anyone planning to go to P+P day on 18th I've popped along to the stadium and theres no sign of the cafe being open during the day on weekdays. Couldn't find anyone to ask if it might be opening specially either. I'd take a flask if you want a hot drink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a shame, can’t see them letting anyone in then, have to climb a tree over by the 4th bend to catch a look Edited March 10, 2020 by 89buttons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 It has been open on p and p in the past hasn't it? Last one I went to was Chris Schram first year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89buttons Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 They stopped it a few years back, something to do with if they allowed the public in it would count as an event and they’d have to license it and pay a fee or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Blue Posted March 11, 2020 Report Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Chris Louis told me a couple of years back he would not actually stop anyone from watching the practice days, it's just not an official event that's all. The way I see it, It's a case of the doors being open or not. They were open last year but conditions were too wet. The cafe stopped opening daily 2 or 3 years ago. I'm going weather permitting. Whenever I've been to watch I've never failed yet. Edited March 11, 2020 by Super Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Baldyman says and confirmed in this week's Star but Nico now has to self-isolate which could mean needing a guest at reserve for the away trip to Peterborough later this month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 If he is already self isolating then his time should be done before our first meeting Not ideal prep but hardly the most important thing in light of current circumstances around the world Lots could still develop more generally which will impact in a more serious manner before then anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv Posted March 12, 2020 Report Share Posted March 12, 2020 I think you're right Badge. It could well be that wherever they are at a certain date becomes where they have to stay Depends on what notice is given for restrictions on travel if/when they happen - could be like a giant game of 'runaround' (showing my age!) if riders are given a window to make a choice....

mickthemuppet Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Soon nearly all countries will be closing their borders with other countries so riders (if there is any speedway) will only be able to ride in one country. This will apply to all sports so make the most of the next couple of weeks if you want to see any speedway Edited March 13, 2020 by mickthemuppet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDY69 Posted March 13, 2020 Report Share Posted March 13, 2020 resistance is futile. A virus will spread, that's why they're good at it. Containment/delay is all about minimising NHS impact and consumer panic. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendbeerhut Posted March 14, 2020 Report Share Posted March 14, 2020 So Danny wins the Ben Fund which quite possibly could be the only meeting of the season. If that's the case... Ipswich will be declared the league champions as he’s our captain! Also means that Poole win Championship 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 All riders in the country and “ready to race”. If all riders are here wonder if press and practice will still go ahead as planned? Can you practice without medical cover? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
