shows Swindon made a good business call

Let’s see if Swindon start again in 2022 before saying that.

If Swindon don't run in 2022 it will be presumably be stadium related, not because of their decision not to run this year because of Covid restrictions.

Haven't Somerset closed down completely, so hardly looking ahead to 2022.

If any team made the right call it could turn out to be Swindon - providing, of course, that they do run in 2022 as they say they will.

Somerset pulled out of the 2021 season initially ahead of the AGM where I’m led to believe they weren’t happy about some of, or more the lack of, guarantees that could be made. It looks like that decision has been justified in that other clubs and promotions buried their heads in the sand and said “it’ll be alright, don’t panic”.... only to then panic after one or two meetings. 

How have clubs like Birmingham and Wolves etc only just realised the sums of money that would be lost on meetings like this? Birmingham only recently splashed out on Erik Riss on the verge of the season starting. Another case of shocking management decisions spending money that they clearly haven’t got!

How can there be a huge crowd at the cricket in Birmingham, but not allowed at speedway just up the road?

They have all had to show a negative lateral flow test before being allowed to enter

The paying on the gate facility was removed by the council...online sales only, hence the decision to suspend their season

My point still stands. They didn't sell out of available tickets.

Because its a Govt 'trial' event - or a 'test' event if you will!!

Online certainly has its disadvantages.

Does this decision include away meetings, or is it just home meetings?

It reads as though it’s the whole operation but just not sure if it’s just home meetings. Thanks

Will be both. No sense in running away meetings an incurring more costs with no home revenue coming in.

Anyone know why the council suddenly removed the pay on the gate option at short notice ?

Wasn't there issues regarding this at the Redcar meeting?

Have a look on that thread
