No offence to anyone concerned but that is a lot of tantrum based riders in that team. Poor Simon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Good to see Batch sorted out at Sheffield. He should go well round Owlerton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And given the quarantine rules are fast changing and more and more countries will be added to the list of those you need to spend (at your own cost), ten days in a hotel quarantining, I would think any overseas riders are at risk of not riding a full season.. Poland will be pulling up the drawbridge too I would suggest and expect all with contracts to stay permanently over there.. Given the vaccine issues Europe has, this wont end this summer..

Panthers99 Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Clearly Sheffield have plans in place im assuming if they've released Lawson but question marks on Josh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Aussie riders didnt when they got back over there.. And nor did the Aussie Open Tennis players.. And mainland Europe hasn't been impacted too severely with quarantining yet, but given the issues getting so many vaccinated, it soon surely will be.. No point getting every person at reasonable risk and above, vaccinated over here, (with vaccines remember that we only "think" work given how quick it was developed, and the way a virus mutates to stay 'alive') when someone can still come in from abroad and keep the virus (or a mutant one) within us..

Big financial differences between the two although high level team sports join a bubble and remain within it throughout travels etc. Individuals however will end up like the Tennis players in Aus at present i suspect. It could work if the same 7 riders rode for the same team in Poland, England and Sweden but as its all such a mish mash i fear all the Uk will see is UK based riders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LisaColette Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the football players get tested very reguarly (like every few days)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get tested twice a week at my job in a special needs school. We have remained open throughout.

He's already told us, seen today the thread he started on 23rd December about "The great reset" and 'the end of speedway'. Obviously didn't get the response required, so decided to try again on this thread when the opportunity arose! Apparently the husband of my niece also subscribes to this conspiracy (not the end of speedway bit, he's not a fan) and also is a believer in the U.S. being responsible for 9/11, the Royal family being reptile like aliens who drink infants blood and that the earth is flat!

They are tested regularly plus football people’s travelling around Europe are usually flying on their own private planes - not on easyJet or ryanAir flights with Joe public. There is also currently a debate going on about moving Arsenal’s next match in Europe in Portugal from that county to avoid large isolation and quarantine upon their return. I know that Portugal is no longer on the travel list but it just shows that footballers still have to adhere to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in addition lower league football teams have been complaining about the cost of all these regular tests (and that's before you start crossing borders). Who's going to pay for testing speedway riders? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
