HGould 2,200 Posted February 9, 2021 30 minutes ago, GAH said: can anyone say with confidence the season will start I've had my first vaccine a few weeks ago and no ill effects. Second one due late March just had letter. By mid April everyone Over 50 and all vulnerable people will have had one vaccine and most over 70's will have had 2 vaccines. One vaccine gives more immunity than any Flu jab. There will be a tipping point when there will be more vaccinated and with some level of immunity through having had it than not vaccinated or not immune. The mid April point should see over 85% of the age / groups who have died with vaccine cover We won't ever get full immunity, this is like the flu in that respect, new strains and new vaccines to keep up. If Sport, not just Speedway doesn't start by mid / end Spring it never will. Of course we'll get a season , it will be different. Some Clubs will make the best of it, some wont. If anyone claims to be a speedway fan and wants to see it survive, it will be time to go and support or for ever stop moaning in my opinion. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s a good start but although I’ll be happy just to see some speedway this year it would be nice to be challenging at the top end of the league and our only chance of doing that is if we go for Thorsell but I won’t be holding my breathe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,686 Posted February 12, 2021 Assuming Proctor, Jorgensen and Kerr return to join Bridger and Cook how many points does that leave for the other member of the top six? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for uproar that lot moan and groan all the time anyway so would anyone even notice 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In 2019 we had Cook AND Lambert, now we just have Cook, so I wonder where our spearhead is going to come from in Heats 13 & 15? With so many riders opting to not ride in the UK in 2021, the barrel is looking very empty at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
