Wait until 2022

Given the average age of speedway fans, 90% will be vaccinated by Easter lol.

Thanks Watcher, am I correct in thinking that it was their first appearance in England ?

Remember seeing him in the Pride of the East at Lynn, & he was incredible. Can someone put me out of my misery, & tell me who the other Pole was that night ?

Surely there is a chance that the points limit will have to be reduced, making it impossible for teams to declare the same 7 riders ?

I wen't to see a faith healer with a group of friends, but he was that rubbish, even the bloke in the wheelchair got up & walked out.

Thanks for the feedback, looks like there is plenty of options food wise.

Thanks Daz

They are advertising on Booking.Com, but saying temporally closed. Thought that was Covid 19, but would appreciate anyone being able to confirm this please.

The wife likes the look of the Thistle hotel, has anyone stopped there. We also need a nice steakhouse if we go, any suggestions ?

I'm considering taking my in laws to Poole for their 50th wedding anniversary over the August bank holiday weekend. Can anyone recommend a nice hotel & restaurant please ?

And BMX racing, what a bunch of knobs at the top end of that amateur sport !!

Try going to show jumping events if you want to see snobbery. My daughter competed for 7 years at local events, & the majority of the people were wanna be snobs.

Well I'm agreeing with you xx

Watched NL for a couple of seasons, & always enjoyed it. Watching Adam Ellis come to Mildenhall & tear it up against a powerful Mildenhall top 3 was a brilliant afternoon. Would rather have that standard of speedway than none at all. Question is, would we have enough riders willing to ride part time, & also get a job ?

Agree with you, out of interest, what price would be acceptable to you ?

Maybe I'm forgetting the fact that long term speedway fans are getting older & are unable to attend, or passing away. Agree it's a mystery why Belle Vue isn't supported more. If I lived near there, I would go every week.

Very true, but £10 is not feasible with the current riders in Britain. Recent events may solve this problem, with lower standard riders our only option.

We won't get speedway for £10, never mind a fiver. Get the tracks right for good racing, & the average speedway fan wouldn't have a problem with admission prices.

Game over for Speedway. Used to love my trips to Rye House, from the pub nearby, to the unusual camber on the first bend. Tragic.

Nice positive start to the forum !!

Your best not knowing, trust me.

You could be right, but it's a strange business strategy to run a business down, when you are trying to sell it. A lot of planning applications have been turned down, but accepted at a later date.

Greyhound trainers have had a rise of about 50p per race over the last 10 years. It's had a lot of 4 dog races recently, as the trainers are going elsewhere. The stadium was making loads of money through entrance fees, drink, food & the tote, with better crowds than speedway. Scoobydo is on the money with building land in my opinion.

Looks very promising. Good luck to both of you, especially you, as bank of Dad is a big responsibility lol.
