I use the ferry to catch a train back to Wimbledon so I hope that things change soon. The club are always so welcoming that I would hate to miss out due to the catamaran being cancelled.

The quote appears to have vanished! I am very interested in what is happening with the Warriors as I want to visit at least twice during the season but currently a day trip is not possible due to the sponsors cancelling the boat that runs after the end of the meeting.

Do the same as we did last year is the only plan they ever have.

I feel sorry for King's Lynn having to suffer with your manager. I was a regular at Rye House for the last few seasons and he was the worst manager ever. What he says is rubbish and his tactics are even worse.

At Rye House during the last season and a half before it closed the Home riders would do a lap of honour waving to the crowd most of the time. In 2019 I only went to two meetings at Isle of Wight and there the home riders always come round and away team race winners were encouraged to do a lap of honour by the home promotion.

The BSPL preview lists five riders plus rider replacement with Danny King not mentioned!

I forgot West Ham, Reading, Belle Vue (the real one with The Bobs big dipper at the end of the home straight) and Somerset. Makes my record even worse!

I think I am a jinx. Regular at Wimbledon, Hackney, New Cross, White City (London), Crayford, Romford, Rye House, Arena Essex and Skegness plus visited Cradley, Coventry, Canterbury, Rochdale and Exeter. Only tracks I have seen racing at that are still running are Eastbourne and Isle of Wight.

It has a new look every Thursday with news and photos.

Berwick, Glasgow and Cowdenbeath are all under the Scottish FA. It is English FA who don't allow a track around a football pitch. As I understand it the reason is they want the crowd to be closer to the pitch.

Sorry, I don't know when the rule was introduced.

I saw racing at Romford, it was a VERY narrow track with a concrete wall that was the fence. It existed before the FA made their rule.

The big problem is that the FA will not allow a football league team to play at a stadium that has a speedway or stock car track around it. The Scottish FA don't have the rule which means that Cowdenbeath Racewall is allowed around the football pitch.

Maybe!

When I was involved with Arena Essex, on the Stock Car side, we were told that catch fencing had to be installed but the two sets of H&S who were involved said they would close us down if we built it according to what their opposite number wanted. Took a lot of work and some cunning to get something they would both accept. I lost all faith in local councils at that point.

When we had our first injection both the cards had mistakes crossed out so when we had our second injection we both asked for a new card with all the details correct as we said that the airlines would not accept any corrections. That was no problem and we now have them correct.

My wife and I had our second injection on Friday and we were both given the cards with our name, date of the two injections and what batch/make of vaccine we had received. It appears that different parts of the NHS are doing things differently.

Talk about Bank Holiday doubles reminds me of the TRIPLES my parents and I went to for a few seasons. Rayleigh Speedway in the late morning followed by Rayleigh for PRI Bangers and either Anglia Rods or Mini Rods in the afternoon followed by the dash to Wimbledon for the evening Speedway. All done on public transport from Southfields with my mother having prepared a good lot of food that we had to carry around but at least the bags got lighter as the day went on. In later years White City and Walthamstow doubles were also good but did not involve Speedway.

The Speedway Tavern earlier this week both Barry and Martin made it clear that the lack of consultation and discussion was the real problem.

I hope they can remember where they stored all the parts and there has to be a question on when they will be allowed into Wales to collect the parts with the present rules around movement.

The announcement is not even sure how many races will make up each fixture. Surely they should have sorted out how many riders are in a team and the race format before making the announcement?

Spedeworth have now said they expect to run meetings at Mildenhall before July. Here is what their latest message says:- Spedeworth/Incarace are pleased to announce the first three National Banger fixtures for Mildenhall Stadium.Please note that these fixtures are subject to change.All fixtures are dependant on restrictions which maybe required due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation.Please be aware that whilst discussions are ongoing with the local authorities the dates for Mildenhall Stadium are subject to confirmation.• Saturday 22nd May 2021 @ 5pm – National Bangers (Micro Madness)• Saturday 29th May 2021 @ 5pm – National Bangers (Big Vans)• Saturday 5th June 2021 @ 5pm – National Bangers (u2000cc)

Thank you for another great video that shows just how much the Warriors will be missed in 2021. I hope things can be sorted out for 2022 so that we can enjoy action like this once again.

To which I could add Buxton but you would need a few million to get Coventry and Oxford back I fear.

The new Provincial League, memories of watching at Hackney in 1963(?). Trouble is there are so few stadiums these days that could hold speedway but are not doing at the present.
