Serious question Geoff..

Have you had the jab recently?

If so, are these the side effects you've been demonstrating the past few days?

If you have, and they are, I am not sure if I will have one now to be honest..:D

I love it when people try to correct somebody for their grammar and then get it wrong themselves. 

Next you’ll be using big words you don’t understand because you think it’ll make you look really photosynthesis.

If reports are correct that Palin,Gilkes and Flint are riding in Premiership in 2021as rising stars  then I would expect one of the Thompson twins to be at Sheffield with the other in East Anglia 

I should think the twins are already penciled in for Leicester NL & CL? Don't think riders are allowed to do 3 UK Leagues any more.

They weren’t but the ‘future star’ scheme may change that?

Just off topic,does anybody think that we have a realistic chance of seeing racing again this year,I hate looking on the gloomy side but this pandemic is relentless and it's going to be a while before most of the population is vaccinated,certainly well beyond may,and are we going to have to have proof that we have had the vaccine to be able to enter stadia,events etc.glastonbury already cancelled and more festivals will be I guess and that wasn't while June!......just a thought.

Even if riding in 3 Leagues were allowed, the Thompsons riding in 3 Leagues and different PL teams would be a logistical nightmare/impossibility.

There would be no clashes between  PL and CL due to race days so they would have to ride for their NL team as and when fixtures allowed. I feel they are going to learn more and progress quicker in the top two leagues.

Could be a problem getting to matches, as they may well not have driving licenses when the season starts.

Vaccine being rolled out. Last I heard, 5.3 million received it, and plans to speed it up further. I am hopeful.

So Leicester NL could have to find 2 guests? Sheffield @ Wolves on a Monday, Ipswich v KL on TV the same day? How do they get to their respective meetings? As I said, a logistical nightmare.

Not sure in their logistical situation but there must be a way of solving these issues if they are serious about their speedway careers. Yes it would mean guests for the Leicester NL team but if two of their young riders are racing in meetings which are going to accelerate their development I think they would see the bigger picture. NL gabs will no doubt jump up and down at that suggestion but we need to be testing our best young riders as often as possible both here and abroad.
