hammer1969 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 I wasn't lucky enough to get a ticket but feel gutted for the fans that did but now can't go. Whether it was a good or mediocre line up is irrelevant it was a speedway meeting and that's what counts. I know this virus is serious but for goodness sake do this Government have any idea at all what they are doing. A speedway meeting with 1000 fans watching in a stadium that holds thousands more than that gets cancelled yet there are more people shopping in a Market close to me 4 days a week and not wearing masks and social distancing is unheard of. For goodness sake Boris get a grip and let's have some sort of life back. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These are the sort of people that are knowingly flouting the advice and so the virus takes hold again. There our speedway supporters on hear who happily tell they too are flouting the advice, some saying they hope to go to Ipswich and would flout the advice their too. Selfish self centred people who do not care there are others who would love to go to speedway too, but may be vulnerable to infection so are put off going anywhere, never mind a speedway meeting, because they know others couldn’t care less how others feel. A case of a few spoiling it for the many. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stu219 Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 So will spedeworth still be allowed to run stockcar meetings? The banger world final is scheduled for Foxhall in 2 weeks with apparently 2500 fans allowed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was one of the difference between stock car and speedway not down to speedway being considered professional while the cars are amateur and similarly that is why NDL speedway can have fans, provided stadiums are Covid 19 compliant, as NDL is considered amateur?

Take your last line "A case of the few spoiling it for the many" So who are the few and who are the many? This may offend some but "the few" in real terms are "the vulnerable" and yes it is being spoilt for the many Does that make me and "the many" selfish ? Or is it actually the reality that if the many cant get on with it there wont be any economic benefit to protect "the few" in the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not true though is it. There was no spike following beach crowds that were widely reported, or following the well attended stock car events at Ipswich and King's Lynn for example.

Yes let's just bow our heads,tug our forelocks and get on with putting on our muzzels and taking any experimental medicine they concoct in the coming months without any objection No thanks. If you don't agree you should shout it from the rooftops, question every dodgy statistic and projection. Follow the rules whilst doing it but dont just comply meekly 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I do blame Boris and the Tory party, testing is a shambles and the new measures are a joke. Not there fault we got the virus but have been useless and lying ever since.
