Super Blue 616 Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Chris Louis told me a couple of years back he would not actually stop anyone from watching the practice days, it's just not an official event that's all. The way I see it, It's a case of the doors being open or not. They were open last year but conditions were too wet. The cafe stopped opening daily 2 or 3 years ago. I'm going weather permitting. Whenever I've been to watch I've never failed yet. Edited March 11, 2020 by Super Blue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As Baldyman says and confirmed in this week's Star but Nico now has to self-isolate which could mean needing a guest at reserve for the away trip to Peterborough later this month Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted March 12, 2020 If he is already self isolating then his time should be done before our first meeting Not ideal prep but hardly the most important thing in light of current circumstances around the world Lots could still develop more generally which will impact in a more serious manner before then anyway Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dontforgetthefueltapsbruv 10,706 Posted March 12, 2020 I think you're right Badge. It could well be that wherever they are at a certain date becomes where they have to stay Depends on what notice is given for restrictions on travel if/when they happen - could be like a giant game of 'runaround' (showing my age!) if riders are given a window to make a choice....

mickthemuppet 976 Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) Soon nearly all countries will be closing their borders with other countries so riders (if there is any speedway) will only be able to ride in one country. This will apply to all sports so make the most of the next couple of weeks if you want to see any speedway Edited March 13, 2020 by mickthemuppet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SPEEDY69 1,260 Posted March 13, 2020 resistance is futile. A virus will spread, that's why they're good at it. Containment/delay is all about minimising NHS impact and consumer panic. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2ndbendbeerhut 1,781 Posted March 14, 2020 So Danny wins the Ben Fund which quite possibly could be the only meeting of the season. If that's the case... Ipswich will be declared the league champions as he’s our captain! Also means that Poole win Championship 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arch Stanton 2,255 Posted March 17, 2020 All riders in the country and “ready to race”. If all riders are here wonder if press and practice will still go ahead as planned? Can you practice without medical cover? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
