So there is 2 metres between row A and Row B etc and 2 metres between seat 1 an seat 3 etc? I call bull on that one - no stand in any stadium for any sport has that space and leg room The guidelines would have to alter significantly for 1 in 3 usage. Right now would be lucky for half that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it's not- its 1m+ in all circumstances (additional precautions must be taken where less than 2) with a min 2 wherever possible A stand would be classed as 2m being possible and capacity restricted as such Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted July 28, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 As I said, all except Wolverhampton could make social distancing work if they were to introduce acceptable precautions. It's not that much greater amount of work to do on a race day either. This pandemic will still be around in March so clubs need to get their backsides in gear & have a couple of open meetings to trial for 2021 otherwise they're going to absolutely fooked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 The tracks that do have plenty of space for social distancing will find in the early months especially if it happens that is, that people wont want to stand in the open areas when its cold and freeze for two hours, most will want to sit in a grandstand so many may turn up get turned away from the grandstand and the next week not bother . The back straight at Peterborough and the bends at Lynn are two examples of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bagpuss Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 I’d have thought meetings would be all ticket particularly for seated areas so people would know whether they ha e a seat or not before going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobydoo Posted July 28, 2020 Report Share Posted July 28, 2020 Yes all ticket but grandstands are mostly on a first come basis unless the tickets will state which area it is for, maybe it will be a way of charging an extra fee for a grandstand seat.

Steve0 Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Well done Lambo - SEC winner. Really showed how far he has come this season. Would have been good to see him in the U.K. rather than the telly box 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clive Ward Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 When the pressure was on he certainly produced the goods. Certainly made a big step up this year, let’s hope he can continue this present form and more importantly stay injury free. Well done Robert all Kings Lynn fans should be well proud of you, brilliant performance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tellboy Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 I am beaming as a Lynn fan,but as i said in the SEC section this success may impact on whether we see him for Lynn next season.He deserves all the success he is having and you can't fault him for wanting to reach the top.I really hope he does even if it does mean he may miss riding for Lynn. C'mon MRC make sure he stays at Lynn with a big sponsorship 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was blatantly obvious after 2018 that last year was a blip even though he showed up well in some GP’s. His talent is there for all to see now if it wasn’t before.

This is allowed as a group family/bubble can be up to 4 people. How can you prove that these 4 people are a family or in the bubble as anybody can put names down when applying for tickets.
