I do use Facebook, but seldom pick up speedway news from it, and as for Twitter, forget it, I can't get my head round that one at all.

Fully understand the reasons and cannot argue against it. Fortunately, it makes no difference to me and I can do Tuesdays very easily. In fact I was brought up on Tuesday Speedway at West ham just after the war, so in a away it will be nostalgic for me and others too Imagine. Lots of East Enders now live in Kent. Good for the club to be the only team racing on Tuesdays. Lets now hope that we can actually see some racing this year.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted June 19, 2020 Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 There might be a few more clashes with football fixtures. A lot of fans, like myself, follow both sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Fan Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 I have not seen any public comments from the club about plans to open although the story goes that work is taking place at the track. From my own point of view as a "shielded" person, I am nervous about attending any Speedway this year even though I have to admit that social distancing would be very easy at Sittingbourne. Would be interesting to hear from the management about actual plans and how they would deal with the virus problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old bob at herne bay Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 Reading the details of the medical professions reluctance to clear such places as theatres and live music venues to resume, it appears that a noisy environment encourages people to shout and raise thier voices and increase the risk of spitting virus particles into the atmosphere. All spectator sports encourage the crowd to produce an "atmosphere" and shouting and cheering your team. Based on that I really don't see spectator sport reopening soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted July 6, 2020 Report Share Posted July 6, 2020 There wont be any spectator sport to worry about unless they stop pissing about and open the economy up properly. They want the economy too sing and have only invited 25% of the choir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You overlook the simple fact that if we do not get rid of the virus, our economy will shrink still further so to suggest the government are pissing about is stupidity in the extreme. Social distancing is a necessary evil at present....get used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't sanatise the world or be completely risk free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will have to live alongside this virus for a good wee while, the economy gets boosted by leisure arenas opening, unless you want every sporting venue to lock its doors and never return you better hope things get back to normality sooner rather than later. Even the more moderate prem lge football teams cant make it pay with no fans going thru the turnstiles. im not the one being stupid 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's all the deaths from the recent BLM protests all over the country? Where's all the deaths from the beaches being packed? Where's all the deaths from restrictions being eased? The death rate has continued to plunge. The reality is, lockdown did nothing. Flu/pneumonia deaths remained at their normal levels. Had lockdown been effective, they would have tumbled. They didn't.. They still haven't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
