Indeed

Thanks for that

Surely whilst the weather is like this means it’s likely they will hit track problems like yesterday on a regular basis. Has the Management access to other week nights or weekend afternoon or evenings when Greyhound meetings are not taking place.

At this moment in time I think it’s between Belle Vue, Wolves and Sheffield with Ipswich, Peterborough and Lynn making up the numbers.

That’s one we agree on

I think you will find it was Cookie that couldn’t agree terms.

25% was mentioned but not sure if it’s accurate, nevertheless the crowd looked quite good despite limited numbers in the grandstand

I would have thought in this current situation this was a no brainier for clubs to stream all their home matches.

You certainly got that right

Pretty easy at Eastbourne it’s always 1&3, very few tracks provide a half decent gate 4

Early days but I rather think you snatched defeat from the jaws of victory there, it remains to be seen if it’s going to be costly.

Isn’t their always ?

Where did you get the figure of max 1000 fans from ?

Certainly not the impression I got after reading Klindts article in the star, sounded like he walked away after deciding he would miss too many matches. Timing was dreadful, good job Allen changed his mind about riding in the UK, credibility isn’t a word that’s particularly relevant to speedway especially here. Their is a lot about speedway that’s unacceptable. You should now as well as anyone that Protests are expensive and generally pointless. Supporters views are not considered it’s what the Promoters and more importantly the MC want that decides things, your boss now is in a better position than most to decide how to run things. The Bates rising star fiasco is yet another subject matter entirely. Your last line is probably something most fans consider every week.

Far too sensible a suggestion

But to be fair they have something to whine about, they haven’t won anything since 1998

It’s all about flights availability and costs, I mentioned at the start of the season that some leeway was going to be provided because it’s clear that until the flight availability returns to something like normality riders are going to struggle to get from Poland and Denmark etc into the U.K and vice versa. Unfortunately it was always going to be a can of worms and the BSPL have opened it, regulations were changed to allow facilities for riders who hadn’t yet ridden for their respective teams and going forward for those who would miss meetings due to travel problems. We will have to see if things change but at the moment this is what we have and I can see it going on for a while. I just hope that it’s consistent and applied properly to all.

Bright sunshine this morning with possibly light rain forecast to arrive from midday onwards, it depends on how much and when/ if it arrives.

And not all from the gate either.

So with the postponement of Wolves v Belle Vue tomorrow will the Panthers be hosting the TV Match on Eurosport. No team news yet from either side but the weather forecast includes light showers for Monday.

Given my experience of Scunthorpe crowds it would be a miracle

Well let’s be fair Foxhall never has been a track that sees a lot of passes.

Do you actually realise that was nearly 25 years ago

At this present time most of this years injuries have happened whilst riding in Poland and with the state of the pandemic at the moment riders stand more chance of catching Covid whilst in Poland than anywhere else.
