It appears there might only be 4 rounds.... so one behind closed doors is unfortunate but better than only 3 rounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just read the gov.uk restrictions reManchester and there is no mention re out doors. all relates to meetings indoors and in gardens attached to the home.

Conspiracy theory time! we've had Scunthorpe, we now have Leicester , I’m going for Somerset and Kings Lynn. I hope the kids get to ride at Belle Vue but Redcar is the only other track that’s open so why hasn’t one been arranged there? Scunthorpe and Redcar announced their amateur meetings weeks ago and yet the first 2 rounds clash with Redcars events ( not Scunthorpe’s?) so why can’t the powers that be on the top table even sort a calendar out with only 5 tracks running so that there are no clashes ? Surely the more the kids get to ride the better? The kids love Belle Vue and Redcar , two of the best race tracks in this country. Yes, I’m biased. I’m from the north west have a chip on my shoulder about Workington and dislike the way the sport is being run , like most of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Tony it doesn’t really make a great deal of sense as to why it is not safe for a few hundred fans to be socially distanced on the terraces but it is for 30 odd riders, plus mechanics and officials to be crammed into the pits! Maybe it is just too much aggravation to cater for fans at the moment in which case I can understand the decision. The important thing though is the youngsters are getting some more competitive action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing though is the youngsters are getting some more competitive action. The chance of a few meetings seems to be getting less Eddie. If Scunny was a pilot event that seemed to run very well, why not hold the next round at a track that can cater for fans. We have to try and get back to some kind of normality. This bug could be here for the long run. We might have to learn to live with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Does Jordan Palin's acceptance & success in the U19's this weekend keep him out of turning out in the other youth rounds in Leicester & Manchester because of quarantine rules? Should be ok, though, for the Bank Holiday Challenge Match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree so this meeting keeps the interest to those who are still interested. Can’t believe that someone can be negative about any meeting this year. And I do think it’s a great idea giving the 250 boys a go as part of the teams. Youngest is 12 oldest 13 got to be a positive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
