Chris116 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 I am going to work by the same principle as I did in 2020. If there is racing (2 wheels or 4 wheels) and I think it is safe for me then I will be watch live speedway or stock cars. If there is no racing or I don't think it is safe to attend then I will be watching YouTube videos of both. At the moment there is no point getting uptight about it, what will be, will be. I want to go racing but I will wait until I can enjoy it without worrying that I could catch the virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Sam Allardyce bemoaning the fact that he couldn't bring four players in to WBA due to work permit issues linked to Brexit... Lots of 'points scoring' criteria linked to age, capability level etc... Presume Speedway riders will face the same kind or similar criteria to be awarded a permit? Maybe that is taking the time to announce details for this season? Edited January 3, 2021 by mikebv 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if it's going to be an issue with foreign riders coming over why not go with full british sides whether it's 5 or 7 man teams & run a 13 heat meeting then run a full 8 heat 2nd half for those riders who are looking for team spots .. & see what happens & it will also give riders more track time which is much needed in this country Edited January 3, 2021 by Justgotmecpc Spelling error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyfan Posted January 5, 2021 Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 (edited) Think we can safely say there will be no speedway in the UK in 2021 either Edited January 5, 2021 by scottyfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty obvious that they spent December working on plans for 2021 with an Easter (or thereabouts) start, and now they need more time to rework those plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So are you saying COVID spreads when social distancing, and doesn’t when you mix. It was predicted in their the figures would jump up over the Xmas period on the uk, and they have. The opening round of F1 is in Aussie 3rd week in March, Melbourne, and they considering cancelling it. Perhaps Hamilton and co should take up tennis.

Social distance at 2 meters well I don't think it works !! As I've heard of a number of people people some freinds & some on radio stations who have never been out the house but have still caught it so it's definitely AIR born & if your unlucky enough to catch it lets hope it's not the bad strain ? Let's hope everyone is safe & the speedway season starts in may as if it is to be June or July it could be another write off for the 2nd year in a row fir some riders & clubs & alsi the FANS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Justgotmecpc, but COVID isn’t just spread by airborne, there is touch problems as well. So if someone stays locked down at home, COVID could come into the home via deliveries of food or other things. That’s why after one of us has been shopping, or receiving mail through the post etc we wash hands. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
