    Rest of the GP series

    Not helped by this : https://news.expats.cz/coronavirus-in-the-czech-republic/czech-republic-coronavirus-updates-july-22-212-new-cases/ “More than 120 people are in quarantine following a party at a nightclub in Prague 2, where 59 people fell ill with coronavirus, according to a report in Seznam Zpravy. Several football players from Prague’s Bohemka, Sparta and Dukla were at the party and became infected as well, interrupting their summer training. There are more than 600 cases of coronavirus in Prague.” Heaven knows what they were (not ?) thinking
  2. Prague GP unlikely to happen, until 2022 or 2023.... https://news.expats.cz/weekly-czech-news/czech-borders-may-remain-closed-for-the-next-two-years-say-top-officials/ Czech borders may remain closed for the next two years, says top official Czech Crisis Staff head Roman Prymula told Czech Television today that border restrictions in the Czech Republic over the coronavirus situation may last up to two years March 22, 2020 4:55 pm Czech Crisis Staff head Roman Prymula told Czech Television today that border restrictions in the Czech Republic over the coronavirus situation may last up to two years, and largely depend on the management of the epidemic in other countries in Europe and across the globe, reports the Czech News Agency and Novinky.cz. While the situation in the Czech Republic is thought to improve from mid-April, estimates aren’t as optimistic for other countries in Europe. The situation in other European countries will not be good,” Prymula told Czech Television. “There it will take months and long months.” According to Prymula, international travel will most likely be limited for the next year or two, and Czech residents should count on taking their summer holidays within the Czech Republic this year. Prymula’s statements were supported by Czech Minister of Health Adam Vojtěch. “The point is to avoid having a second or third wave of the epidemic, so that people from other countries such as Italy, France, Spain, Germany, do not begin to flow [into the Czech Republic],” he told Czech Television. “I do not want to provide false optimism, but I hope that it will be possible to keep the number to 10,000 [infected with coronavirus],” Prymula added. “We are able to operate effectively with up to 15,000 [cases].” He also stated that precautionary steps taken by the Czech Republic have seemed to have a positive impact on the situation. “I don’t want to overestimate, but when everyone looks at the increase [in cases], we managed to fix it to less than the initial 45%, which was better than in Italy. We are able to flatten the curve.” The Czech borders have largely been closed for the past week, with exceptions for necessary freight and cargo transport, and for residents who live near the border and commute to work. They require daily documentation to leave, however.

    Swindon Robins 2020

    Yes, he has, but will be sharing the #1 duties with Nicki Pedersen.... Not like you to not tell the full story, Phil, especially as its on your employers website..... https://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/7929/doyles-danish-deal Aussie ace Jason Doyle is on his way to Denmark for 2020 after joining Holsted’s squad. The Newcastle-born racer is set to share the No.1 berth with triple world champion Nicki Pedersen and will only race a limited number of fixtures. Doyle has already agreed terms with Vastervik in the Swedish Elitserien and has made no secret that he’s keen to stay with Swindon in the UK. He has also been heavily linked to Polish side Czestochowa. A busy schedule suits the 2017 world champion and he’s looking forward to playing a part for the Danish Tigers. He said: “I am excited to announce I have signed a contract with Holsted Tigers in the Danish Super League. I will not be racing the full season in Denmark but just a few matches. “I am super happy to have the opportunity to race for one of Denmark’s prestigious speedway clubs. See you all in 2020! It’s going to be a great year!” He will indeed race on Wednesdays in Denmark, but its not going to be every week, even more so when you consider that Holsted raced 10 fixtures last year prior to the Danish Play Offs, so Jason will probably have 5 or so matches for Holsted...

    Did you fly to Bucharest, and then take the train to Braila ?

    Swindon 2020

    That wasnt the case ! You state yourself that Zach lost confidence, and decided to step away from speedway for this year. Lampart had his permission to ride here revoked by his Polish club, Motor Lublin, due to his poor form for them, and was more often than not, reduced to a role of spectator in Poland, with Robert Lambert appearing regularly instead of him. therefore, neither rider was "sacked" as you put it !

    Berwick, Sheffield and Kent.

    Berwick have rode at Berrington Lough before its miles from anywhere, in a place called Ancroft. They had an air ambulance in attendance, as the place is so remote. in 1991, Berwick joined the top division, signing Kelvin Tatum from Coventry, Richard Knight from Kings Lynn and Jimmy Nilsen from Swindon. The then promoter, a Liverpudlian called Terry, whose surname I cant recall, later served a prison sentence for fraud IIRC.

    RELEGATION IS THE AIM

    Orion is spot on, your post is a brain dead one, to put it mildly ! I am no fan of the Poole promotion at all, but it looks like Mr. Ford is cutting his cloth, accordingly....Would you prefer it if Poole simply closed down ?! All teams can only beat what the opposition puts in front of them..... Swindon rode brilliantly over two legs, to trounce Ipswich, they won the final in some style....It certain wasnt boring on the terraces ! Of course, your opinion would have been different had Belle Vue won the title, and maybe there is more than a touch of Sauvignon Sour Grapes in your post, as Swindon beat Belle Vue in the cup final too. In every sport, in every season, there will be successful teams and not so successful teams, and you quite possibly dont understand the cyclical nature of sport.

    Tai Woffinden book at £8.99

    I bought it on the kindle app for my phone, £6.47, the first chapter tells you it isnt going to be full of "I am better than everyone else" In answer to your question, depends how keen you are read the book
  11. It was Brits in U15, the lady immediately to my right and I had our backs doused with beer from the drunk lads behind me ! I think there were from south Wales judging by their accent, but not entirely sure !
  12. I always buy from "See Tickets" well in advance

    Tai Woffinden book at £8.99

    Adonis is talking bullocks, but then, looking at his avatar of Yaxley_Lennon, what can you expect ?! Its a good read, and definitely not full of "I am better than everyone else" ! My advice would be buy it, see what you think, you can always sell it on Ebay, Gumtrre, etc....
  14. £50 ?! I paid £19 last year, £20 last night, and £20 for next year earlier this morning, in block U15 on level 6 in the upper tiers. That block is positioned just as the riders exit the 4th bend.
