Catch Me If You Can 260 Posted July 15, 2020 1 hour ago, col69 said: heard the day p and p day on sat and start 25th july can any body con firm this pleasemmmmmm July seems quick for any starts given press release by Damien Bates on BSPA release today "SHEFFIELD co-owner Damien Bates is remaining positive and upbeat about prospects for racing next month – and is far from ready to throw in the towel.Bates admits there are still hurdles to overcome before seeing the Tigers on track, but news of Stock Car racing going ahead later this month at Ipswich with a crowd in attendance has lifted hopes.Said Bates: “I’m a realist and a restart will never be straightforward, but I’m certainly hopeful and more optimistic now than I have been for a few weeks.“It feels like there is genuine light at the end of the tunnel, and I can assure everyone my colleagues on the board of the British Speedway Promoters Ltd are working around the clock to offer some sort of league season for our fans.“I must emphasise at no stage have we ever lost sight of the fact that the health and safety of our supporters, sponsors and track staff is of paramount importance, but I believe there is a way we can make this season happen.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We live in a time where statistics and facts have been confined to the skip. Pretty confident that all singular sporting entities, have NO say in the matter. If they did I am sure clubs would do EVERYTHING to meet the 'autocratic' guidance. P.S Card only! Edited July 18, 2020 by Robinh88 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The guys looked quick as they usually do riding on there own or in pairs but the most impressive thing was the track with an extra metre and a bit down each straight on a nice new kerb line and the bends opened out slightly with a surface as smooth as the proverbial "Babies Bottom".... The other noticeable thing was the race downhill to the entrance of the third bend where the dip and hump used to be; well this has vanished... if it stays like that the racing will be even better than ever... Big well done to the promotion as the racing strip now looks fantastic... it looks like there has been a great deal of effort put in to produce what looks like a tremendous racing circuit and it is such a shame on a warm July night that the place is in lock-down and the genuine Speedway fans of Berwick can't get there racing fix... Once the place opens up I think the track will offer up some great entertainment... Oh and in deference to the poster lollolmmmmmlol slobber slobber slobber mmmmmmlollol...

Assuming S/D is implemented; there is ample spare space in Shielfield for 350/800 fans for the latter? I suspect promoters and fans laterally would flock back in their hundreds. What crazy times! Watch as much reality TV(in whichever form), gamble and go out and get drunk. But no live sport or going to a local health club. You would think they were trying to lower our immune systems. lolz!
