Shorter than I was expecting! They'll just use guests then.

Is this the doctors decision or Rory's though?  You know how riders like to come back earlier than they are meant to!

All those empty seats. Very disheartening. Hopefully the rules will be relaxed soon and things will get back to normal. Not sure many clubs. An afford to run with such reduced attendances.

No club will be able to sustain this if it continues after 21st. These draconian measures insisted on by the Stadium landlords, not the Council or the club, are really putting the pressure on!!

Poole v Berwick in the lower tier isn't particularly normal though for the Manchester Utd of speedway is it. A relaxation may help a little but will it fill those seats? I'd have my doubts.

What was it like when Peterborough dropped down? Were the crowds a lot different?

Seems so long ago. When I go I get there early and don't tend to move too much and leave late so always difficult to gauge crowd size. I'm sure that there was a drop off initially and a few regular faces disappeared never to be seen again. Whether that was the drop, Frost/Mahoney going or Horton surfacing again I don't know, although I'd have a guess. A fair few people had been calling for the drop for years because when the top league really was a top league then the lower tier was probably more traditional and sustainable for the club. I just don't associate Poole with second best so would be concerned that some of the fanbase will not have it and also it isn't much of a draw to visitors and/or floaters?

nothing those landlords do would ever surprise me but what on earth is there angle(and they will have one) in making life so difficult for the speedway???
