4 hours ago, magnus said:Sorry to go off topic, but can someone please confirm that if i am travelling back to the UK on the 4th of Oct from Torun. I don't need to have a pre departure covid test, as its being abolished from 4am of the same day. Does anyone also know if the polish authority's accept the paper copy of the passenger locator form or is it best to do the digital one. Thankyou...
Yep no lateral flow needed if you land after 4am on the Monday (and are vaccinated). I land on the Sunday night so need one!
Regarding the PLF, the Poles say this:
- ‘You can print the confirmation or present it to the airport staff on a mobile device (e.g. phone, tablet).’

That would be very good. I wonder where confirmation of this could be found.

Is the easiest way to get to the stadium by tram number 5?

Any videos of the SON?

Tough and technical track for Foord and Warren on their first looks at it and whilst the Millars are certainly not world beaters i would expect them to pack out enough minor placings to keep the Royals from getting any points here
I still think it’s Kent’s to lose but the weather will play a huge part now. Even if Mildenhall get 4 points at Armadale and beat Berwick at home then they’ll end on 23 points and Kent can match that by winning their 5 home meetings. But even one postponement could cost them the title.

Well it’s raining at the track. Only light now tbf but I drove through heavy rain.

If Douglas comes in for Schlein then it’ll be very hard for Scunny.
With only 6.94 to replace Aarnio with it’s not enough for any of the top 4 of Redcar or Leicester. But could they change their line-up to bring in Dan Thompson for Palin and then use R/R for Aarnio?! That’ll allow Jorgensen to take an R/R ride and the rest can still be split between Lambert and whoever’s on form. -
Bewley even admitted he thought he should be back in. But trying to get the bike off the track has probably made the ref’s mind up for him.

7 hours ago, Sings4Speedway said:Precisely. Jack Smith signed on as a 6.5 averaged rider, given current form/opposition he is likely to finish on 8-9. Should the league stay at the same points limit he could be forced out. Should the limit be largely increased again to accommodate all the increased averages its more likely that those with falsely inflated averages like Rothery and Spencer will be pushed out. Everyone heralded the idea at the start and just couldn't see the problems coming. I guess the state of the NDL at present / future will gloss over the mess created by lowering the points limit.
Some of us saw the problems. Others were either too narrow minded or short sighted to see them and pressed ahead regardless unfortunately.

You were all right at the start of the season. It’s become very irritating.

13 hours ago, mikebv said:To be fair, the top two leagues don't carry any real kudos so the developmemt league cannot mean too much either..
As the BSP's have shown this year it is all about development of riders and "going back to its roots" so these lads who travel 100's of miles, and spend lots of money on equipment, really do deserve a full compliment of races, regardless of the match result...
I think you’ve said that in jest, but that to the Mildenhall fans who only have that side to support. And tell it to the riders that the result doesn’t actually matter.

Why didn’t Coles take Bowen’s 3rd ride (Woodhull for Bowen in heat 12 and Coles for Woodhull in heat 14)? He would’ve only needed 1 point to salvage a draw.

It took long enough haha.

Best of luck to Mulford who moves up after all.

12 hours ago, Sings4Speedway said:Jake Mulford must be delighted missing the Eastbourne fixture and rocking the boat further. 1 race at a soaking wet grasstrack and didnt even get away from the start line.....definitely worth jeopardising his Speedway place.
It now means he’ll stay at reserve for Berwick away. Maybe they thought that was an easier meeting on palate than Eastbourne away?

4 hours ago, old bob at herne bay said:This NDL is all a bit "Mickey Mouse" cannot really be taken seriously when most of the teams seem to regard it as a chance for some practice.
Would have no problems with that if it were free to watch ...... but some think its worth £15 a meeting :-( :-(
Yesterday evenings affair between half a team of seasulls and a royals team missing one their key riders, totally unsatisfactory for the fans who paid good money expectiong to watch 2 teams of 7 riders.
When the powers that be treat it as a training territory rather than a proper league, what do you expect? The difficult was the team’s within it were treating it as a 3rd tier and the pricing structure, especially Kent’s, reflected that. But we know that nothing in any walk of life ever goes down in price, just the product on offer declines!

9 hours ago, Skidder1 said:Correct. It was quoted by Danny Ford in his public explanation of the Smetana situation after the initial 7-day facility was finished.
Is this actually a rule or have the management committee just permitted it citing special Covid circumstances?

Just now, Shadders said:I think that's the first stand alone NL meeting at Berwick. If there was another I wasn't there
Yes it was. I meant how many people usually attend Championship meetings? I wondered how many less went tonight.

50 minutes ago, Bandit59 said:Just as well otherwise would have been very different our top 3 done very well ,and Luke and Sam Hagon likewise good for the visitors good to see when the red lights came on at the start the guys came right round and back up to the tapes immediately,no faffing about at pit gates all done and dusted by 8 35., and that with r/r.
Ruddick’s score was like he had a point to prove! And Hagon was very impressive on presumably his first time up there.

For reference, what’s an average Championship crowd?

Still it’s an away win against a title contender S4K!
Royals must be title favourites now??

Friday night racing is definitely much better. The track holds up better and more fans attend.
But surely they have to plan assuming it’ll be a Friday night seeing as if they face Glasgow then they’ll probably use the Sunday as their home meeting.
