Spot on. Plymouth, of course, were paying NDL level rates to riders. They also sold every ticket to paying spectators that they could. Add turnstile income to streaming and they could well have broken even. If Plymouth own the concessions for drinks etc, they could well have made a small profit on the 3TT. Hope they did

From the BBC website (but does not give date as from when): The pilot programme will also be paused.

There used to be an organisation that represented magazine publishers. Wondering if it still exists and whether they had a view.

Royal Mail law unto itself. It has used the pandemic to reduce services. I could understand that early on with people off sick but that's not the case now.

Don't know about the stream price. Plymouth did there's for £3.80. Sold all the tickets they could and then announced stream.

All I am interested is in how good the racing is. The Plymouth 3TT the other week was NDL riders with a few young Championship lads. The racing was close, exciting, got better as the night went on and ended with a last-heat decider which was won in the final yard. Perfect recipe in my book. This may also mark a changing of the guard --- some of the older riders bowing out and making room for the exciting Young Guns. Scott was exciting Young Gun and pushed aside others....that's how it works.

I I certainly did. Excellent speedway meeting and the racing got better as the meeting went on as more lines developed. Good presentation, although I think the announcer muddled the scores at least once. Last race with Tom chasing down Henry was as good as speedway gets...and in a last heat decider. Good atmosphere, good track, crowd all looked well spaced...I think Plymouth did a great job and served up some excellent speedway. Couldn't ask for more. The locals were all very friendly too. By the way, Plymouth Speedway was more Covid-19 safe than Dartmouth was the next day. The town was rammed. I drove round, couldn't find a parking space, thought about park and ride which was also crowded so headed to the more refined delights of Totnes, which was busy but not crowded.

Mark Phillips got the weather perfect on Tuesday. Sun shone. Hope he can do the same again for the next meeting.

Great night, great racing...very enjoyable evening

Great news. Plymouth have done so well all round on this.

Eastbourne have 3 youngsters in their 2020 CL team. Two are in the team to go to Devon. Drew is an Ipswich rider. Nathan Ablitt I guess starts college around that time and maybe wants to get settled before taking a day off. Also, gives Eagles a chance to look at someone else.

What a strange thing to say: "Out for a ride." I very much doubt Tom Brennan and Jason Edwards are "out for a ride". Tom needs as much bike time as possible because he is competing in the U21 European final and Jason has been in the U19 Euros. With Bowtell, Brennan, Edwards and Ben Morley you have some of the best NDL riders around. Jake Knight is a 9pt NDL rider and wants to himself in the "shop window". Atkins is on his way up and needs every race he can get and Coles is decent too. You could argue that the standard of this meeting is a slightly higher calibre than Scunny v Lions on Sunday but I wouldn't want to get into an argument about that because this year any live speedway is good speedway in my book. Connor King is an interesting one and at his age he will want to impress and what better chance has he got than this. It may be that King will be part of the Eastbourne young rider academy, which I have heard whispers of. Apparently the academy will link to Polish and Swedish clubs. If you were a youngster, you want to be in that sort of academy and perhaps King has got wind of that too. Definitely not "out for a ride" sort of match for him and the others too. We should be celebrating the chance of seeing some live, competitive speedway in 2020. Many fans, sadly, will not get that chance.

Easy process to buy. Works well.

It is green for go at Plymouth for some speedway from next month. Promotion must have worked hard on that, now I hope they get the reward with fans going.

VAT to come out of those figures too?
