Col Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I just had email saying it was postponed. Are tickets going to be automatically refunded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screm Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 https://bellevue-speedway.com/news/speedwayofnationspostponed Those with tickets already, it might be an idea to keep hold of them for as there could be a re-staging date.

Just my thoughts, but I would scrap SoN this season just to give dates for other meetings. SGP will most likely be ridden in some extent, but jamming all FIM WC meetings in to 3-4 months is not happening, something needs to go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of the no-hopers like France and Finland and ask El Presidente in Belarus if he will put on a weekend of racing in Minsk, seeing as he thinks it's all a load of old rubbish and they have started the football season with the public in attendance. No offence meant, but desperate times ask for desperate measures. SON one day and a GP the next Sasha Lukaschenko is yer man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 SoN could easily be run on one day. Whether that's two meetings afternoon and evening or just one meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False dawn Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I do have tickets and had already reached the conclusion that the finals would almost certainly be postponed / cancelled. But am I the only one that finds it a bit odd that this latest development has not been reported on the BSPA website? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 (edited) Probably called off to meet government guidelines re coronavirus and crowd size. Health safety is far more important than a speedway meeting anyway! Edited March 24, 2020 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But am I the only one that finds it a bit odd that this latest development has not been reported on the BSPA website? It's the bspa that is odd they are living in cloud cuckoo land, also bsi organise the SON meetings so nowt to do with bspa. On another note not widely reported yet, is that the ACU has suspended all liscenes till end of may, so no speedway (or any motorbikes) till at least mid June IMO, this dispite the bspa saying they will look at things in mid April !!!

Scipio777 Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 from the ticket website: 9. Tickets are non-refundable and are sold subject to the Organiser’s right to alter or vary the programme due to events or circumstances beyond its control without being obliged to refund monies or exchange tickets. It is the responsibility of the ticket holder to ascertain the date, time and venue of any rearranged staging of the event. 10. Should the event be postponed no refund of the ticket price or any additional expenditure shall be made to the ticket holder. 10. Should the event be postponed no refund of the ticket price or any additional expenditure shall be made to the ticket holder. So no refund, perhaps if they do not find a restaging date this year there is a chance?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a time when speedway needs every fan any denial of a refund would be mindless. I'll retain hope a new date can be found.
