Hmm compare and contrast......? https://t.co/IjEQBZgNpT

But for how long? Realistically, whether we like it or not, it could be July/August before spectators are allowed at sporting events in Scotland.

Correct, that is her agenda whether you or I like it or not.

I heard it. I'm sure, based on your responses, you'd love for our First Minister to say "no way we're hosting the euros, are ye daft" but.... if we can actually bring this back to the Tigers......she'll/they'll continue to say the populist thing and tick every box until the cross needs to be put in the last box.

She doesn't care about spectator events at the moment, only public health and expert advice. Surely that's obvious to the most one eyed of unionists. Not that I'm suggesting that is you, although you may take that as a compliment.

Yeah I'm sure she's sh*tting herself

I honestly can't see how. If the government will not allow crowds to attend sporting events until at least 2 or 3 months after the season is due to start it just can't work logistically or economically.

It's this. There's no way we're running. I hope I'm wrong but all the facts are mounting up.

This is death by a thousand cuts.

I've no doubt they want to run and will tick every box until they have to put a cross in the final one.

What do we think troops? I'm thinking on the balance of probability that we're not running.

Exactly this. Total pie in the sky to think there will be any league speedway in the UK this year.

Oh aye they're fn torture. Have I mentioned the weird "looking to the side" in an empty room? I actually don't mind the commentary. It's so unabashedly biased and one eyed that it's almost a refreshing change from the usual political correctness.

Do we have any idea of a typical crowd that goes to the stocks? Is it one man and his dog? Is it (normally) equally or more popular than speedway?

Yes unfortunately confirmed. http://www.kent-speedway.com/news.php?extend.1599.1&utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Isn't it often a tad wet in Manchester in October?

Agreed. No speedway at all in the UK this year.

Fair play for showing a defeat, albeit to an excellent Hull side who would go on to win the Premier league in '04.

I'm not familiar with British Superbikes, do they run at Knockhill? As I'm sure you know, Jason Leitch is the Scottish medical guru. I'm assuming he's specifically talking about Scotland, obv I'll bow to your greater knowledge of British Superbikes at Knockhill.

I realise this is rugby centric but it'll apply to all pro spectator sports...www.theoffsideline.com/murrayfield-test-venue/amp/?v=79cba1185463&__twitter_impression=trueSurely this pretty much rules Edinburgh out running this year in any form of league competition, however reduced.....?

I see Waldorf and Statler are still persisting with looking to the side of an empty room in a different house. Can someone please tell them to stop it Rodney you plonker.

Surely somebody is missing a trick here.... https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/shop/product/detail/2020-facemask As a Glasgow fan I couldn't wear a Monarchs one but I'd happily wear a Bandits one, as my adopted team for 2020!!

I'm really enjoying the reruns too but yeah the two "presenters" hmm. I never watch "as live" for the specific reason that I can just fast forward their bit and all the other chat pish, or should that be pish chat and just enjoy the racing. It's the fact that they look to the side when the other one is talking. It's really really weird.

Yep it's this. Total total non starter. League meetings in Poland behind close doors is economically viable. Also I can see something like a six meeting, six venue, shortened SGP season in Poland too.

There's no way speedway runs in the UK without spectators. Totally unsustainable.
