You are not reading it correctly then. You are adding 2 and 2 together and coming up with something other than 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cost of making stadiums fit for social distancing, plus the extra stewards needed to enforce it, wont come cheap for cash strapped clubs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,200 Posted July 3, 2020 Nothing but reading what promotions have said in past few months I think Berwick, Redcar, Scunthorpe, Leicester, Brummies, Poole will run. Rest not sure will run, Glasgow we know won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hence a possible doubt for Poole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Len seemed very negative earlier in the season and although a bit more optimistic now it'll be interesting to see if he runs CL or NDL as can't run both in limited tome surely? He's very astute, probably the most astute and will know his likely crowd and margins and unique circumstances. NDL would seem the sensible logical cost effective route?

Poole I read somewhere the only main Greyhound track not to re-open on 1 June when others like Perry Barr did. If the Stadium staff remain furloughed until October hard to see what Speedway can do, unless they pick up cost of Stadium staff as you can work for someone else while furloughed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If the Stadium staff remain furloughed until October hard to see what Speedway can do, unless they pick up cost of Stadium staff as you can work for someone else while furloughed. As Poole Stadium is owned by the Council (only leased to Stadia UK to provide a minimum of 2 core sports as part of a designated leisure/sports facility!!) then if Speedway is allowed to return I imagine there could be some pressure brought to bear from the Council (with whom Matt Ford has a good relationship) onto Stadia UK to re-open and fulfill their leasehold obligations. Lets not forget that Stadia UK have NO income at the moment from carparking, bars, restaurant as well as rental from Speedway!! As Danny Ford says - its certainly a hurdle to overcome but not insurmountable by any means. Lets hope for some positive guidance announcements over the next week.

I'd be happy to watch any level, if I'm honest. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
