The NSS is the one place I could stomach paying twenty quid regularly.

Absolutely, am sure there is a perfectly good reason for it but imagine how good he could potentially be if he was a few years younger? Hopefully he can still improve rapidly and have a good career at a higher level.

Is he Scottish?

Or just get with the times and buy your ticket online, far easier anyway!

George Rothery looks like one to keep an eye on! A pity he’s not 15 or 16 but that’s double figures on two very different tracks, a great start.

These postponements are annoying but putting the tactical element to one side for a minute the whole process is much more desirable than farting about on a wet evening and not racing many heats if any and wasting everybody’s time. This way of doing it is definitive and everyone knows where they stand nice and early. On another note assuming teams will be racing twice a week to get fixtures in at some point you can this being a big problem for one or two British teams further down the line.

Different rules for different councils one presumes. Having to wear a mask outside while having to distance is utterly ridiculous but if that’s what the council says then so be it I guess.

There must be big doubts over Klindt, Holder, Bewley and Kurtz at least. Becker rides in Poland too, presumably Masters also? These riders are going to find getting in and out of Poland regularly very difficult.

Similar at Lynn, rumours suggest that a limited number of tickets will be available ‘on the night’ but it’s advised to leave plenty of time for this method of purchase.

It’s all about VFM though......how often is a night out at speedway in this country worth 15-20 sheets?

I would also suggest that those who rock up to the track while on holiday on the island won’t really care what competition they’re watching as long as they have a good night out.

Well written article I thought.

It won’t be until clubs know exactly how many people they are allowed to let in.

I think we all know the answer to that one.

£20 is my limit, if a booking fee takes it above that I won’t be going!

Perhaps but in this day and age most people can literally stand outside a venue and purchase an e ticket on their phone in a couple of minutes. I believe Lynn are selling a limited number of tickets on the night for 2021 for those unable to purchase online, this seems a sensible move.

Yep that’s fair enough. Lynn’s interaction with their supporter base has been basic at best for some time now. In slight mitigation I would argue that Norfolk folk are quite laid back, fairly easily pleased and content to wait until ‘nearer the time’ in general but I agree that Lynn as a club could get more information out more often as a rule.

Funnily enough I was thinking about this this morning in the context of the IOW, I think it will work very well for them particularly in the holiday season but despite attending loads of challenge matches and individuals back in my younger days (late 80’s and 90’s mainly) they just don't do anything for me nowadays, you don’t get anywhere near the sense of anticipation or buzz where there aren’t league points or something meaningful to be raced for. The only exception I guess is the Peter Craven Memorial at the NSS, I’ve been lucky enough to attend that two or three times and because it’s the first meeting and the track is second to none it works for me. Just think generally you lose that edge if it’s not a league, cup or Play Off meeting.

Lynn have tweeted a few times in the last couple of weeks about May 17th and the two most detailed ones (one linked to a story on the club website) suggest that they are waiting for confirmation (presumably from the local council) to ‘finalise plans’ which surely has to be about what they can and can’t do for a speedway meeting in the stadium and most importantly how many people are allowed in. Until this has happened I don’t think there is a lot more they can do.

Massive massif

Admittedly it’s a low bar but IRR is one of the BSPA’s better ideas IMO.

Tickets will be ‘limited’ but going by that the number of people wanting a ticket is highly unlikely to reach that limit.

That’s one to pin up in the dressing room

You would suspect that Buster probably doesn't yet know exactly how many folk he can let in and that’s probably why no prices or tickets have been released yet.
