Every London track now history and all those fans with no club unless they've moved into Sussex or Kent.

Point taken, probably cashed in on London property prices? To be honest expect you're glad you did move out now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although in practice most of the major matters are discussed beforehand and everyone knows what is likely to happen. (Why otherwise would Spooner and Hume have been released). So I am guessing there are six declared starters, although hopefully there are a couple more waiting in the wings that could still be accommodated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As ever things are happening behind the scenes. 5 vacant fixtures suggests no KO cup/Shield meetings? im not sure if the NDL will become an easier or harder sell to riders with only 10 fixtures a season?

Thinking about that, I suppose Belle Vue and Leicester had a similar problem in previous seasons ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How does that stack up with the announcements today about the opening up of our activities by Boris Johnson ? It seemed a bit vague about when stadiums are likely to be allowed to open. Maybe there is someone on the forum who has better information ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
