Most of the posts I've read on this forum suggests streaming has a place in the sport even when we get back to normal particularly for away fans. Good to see that East End Fan bought a ticket but just wondering did any other Kent fans purchase a ticket to see their team's first ever match in the Championship? Yes, had trouble with it freezing for the first 2 heats, but all worked OK afterwards. Very good to see Jake , who has yet to complete a full season in speedway yet, fighting for points at championship level. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will take a lot of pleasure watching him progress. One of Britains finest prospects IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Weeyin 1,006 Posted May 26, 2021 It was a struggle for the Kings, very much hampered by the loss of Tom in his first heat, but you have some talented youngsters and I was impressed with young Jake. Glasgow are extremely strong at home and a few teams will struggle at Ashfield. I hope the Kings have a good consolidating season and I look forward to seeing my first live meeting when I come down with a few other Glasgow fans on June 8th 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have my tickets as I inadvertently booked the leicester match which was postponed, so have carried them forward for the Glasgow match, which was what I originally wanted 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mikebaker 199 Posted May 31, 2021 Can anyone explain why Kent have switched Redcars visit to the 13th of July. We were scheduled for the 3rd August. I have already booked accommodation. Usual total contempt for fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

After all, the meeting was imminent, only 9 weeks away. How dare they not consult. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You probably would be the first to moan if they did not produce a fixture list though.Is there any point if you have to keep altering fixtures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
