We get a press release from SML yesterday saying that after mondays new regulations, all Finnish sport federations together with the Olympic Committee are seeking answers with the goverment on how to start sports again. I had info this would take days to sort out.

Took about 3 hrs for our football and baseball to give a starting date for their leagues...

Morning news now full again about the second wave of covid-19 ...

Our football league is now facing a new problem, as they thought a mass gathering of 500 people means they can take 500 people in a match to several blocks in the stadium so the crowd could grow up to 2k or more...

And now the goverment announced that a footie match is A ONE event, so max 500... :lol:

They could hire a few fields, show the match on a big screen to 500 in one area, 500 in another......

M-V one of the hot beds of speedway and with a long track at Parchim as well are allowing events with a limit of 150 people outdoors take place in a few weeks. So not much help for Güstrow, Teterow and Stralsund....

Could mean the new planned track in Neubrandenburg can do their noise tests though 

But already one or two areas have seen a rise in cases and calls to clamp things down again, locally....

I’m friends with the organizers of Forssa, but I’m commenting on this as an outsider, and to my knowledge we have the 500 crowd restriction until the end of July. In Finland the next set of new guidelines will be set next week and they are always valid for 30 days. So the guidelines that the promoters will work with are declared 5-4 weeks before the meeting. It’s all a bit iffy and so-so. I would have pulled the plug already, they havent.

Rumours from our parlament suggest that new quidelines for mass gatherings are announced next week. This would enable crowds bigger than 500 and most likely would be effective from July 1st, when footie is supposed to start.

My personal feeling is they will be slow to open things up here, after a few incidents where around 100 people have been infected including church gatherings and one or two Muslim festivals to end Ramadan. They start having 1000 people at a sporting event we will probably have hundreds infected and end up back where we started months ago

What do you think? I need to get some flights sorted soon (or maybe not) :P

Hard to say... For what I know they had a 2k target for the crowd. Todays restrictions mean they would not be able to make that. They could change, either way... I would have called it off a month ago.

Does anyone have an updated competitor list for the World Longtrack Championship with Round One due at Morizes this weekend?

As far as I am aware, Jesse Mustonen is definitely not riding due to the current travel regulations from Finland to France, in which he and his mechanics would have to quarantine for two weeks upon returning to Varkaus.
