Thank You NHS Trophy at Wolves


Recommended Posts

I've seen plenty of waterlogged tracks in my time, somehow I don't think the rain that had fallen earlier was the only facor here. The surface was super tacky, akin to a clay / car track...not your usual slimy / slick water damaged track.

Believe its new shale that has been put down this season which was churned up by the rain.  I think they gambled that it would be OK, but it backfired badly. 

Given the restrictions on crowd levels,  I would say the promoters are anxious about the June 21st opening being pushed back.  There's a real risk of clubs not completing the season if Johnson moves the goalposts again.  Last night was the last thing Wolves needed

I don’t think Boris wants to move June 21st goal posts, but what he doesn’t want is the Indian variant, and other factors, running through the country.  I reckon as the country opens up following May 17th reports from all quarters of England will be centred to the government for analysis, including reports from speedway stadiums. Factors going forward will include, IMO, what work and attitude have stadium management displayed, PLUS, as important, the attitude and compliance of spectators.  It’s quiet clear that some spectators are not too concerned over going along with regulations and some will bend the rules, or more, at every opportunity.  Sadly, some ardent speedway fans will refrain from attending a live meeting because they are concerned over their health, that they are not fully convinced attending live meeting would be a happy event for them.  So if Boris does hold back on the June 21st relaxing, it will be motivated not only on the Indian variant, but also by what is happening in society “today”, including speedway meetings.  So, if there is a delay of June 21 relaxing (and I hope there is’nt a delay), remember, what is happening in the country today will have had an effect.

And by the middle of June the Govt will be able to see the impact the May 17th restriction easing has had on the Covid infection rate...

If it has gone up then it would be unlikely to see June 21 going back to 'normal'...
