Initially I ordered 200 which have all but been taken up by frontline, NHS, Carers and key workers. We gave them away and asked for a donation and managed to raise £505 when went to Capt (now Col) Tom Moore They certainly seem popular Barry as always leading the way, well done.. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
00000 1,279 Posted May 1, 2020 At least Eastbourne Speedway will know how their fans feel about attending meetings (when allowed) after the lockdown. They are asking supporters for their views/opinions etc. Great communication again with the fans from the Eagles. Top stuff. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigACE 91 Posted May 1, 2020 The IOW masks look great. They are the No 1 Club for off track things. I have said that for a while now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am staggered Poland have had the audacity to start riding in a few weeks time. The problem is that while many consider it just "sport", it really is a lot more than than that these days. Sport (all kinds) is one of the biggest industries worldwide, providing a livelihood for millions of people (competitors, team and organization administration, staff in concessions and marketing, journalists, and many others). For those, it is every bit as essential a business as for individuals in manufacturing, retail, and health. It really isn't as simple as it may first appear. This is why many are are predicting that the aftermath of all this will be just as bad - if not worse - than the actual virus. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure everyone will be chomping at the bit to re-enter stadiums either. Sport provides an ideal escape for the working man. I wonder whether they will withdraw sporting events until there is universal support for a vaccine? Edited May 4, 2020 by Robinh88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
