Add to that, the BLRC used to be held in October at Hyde Road stadium, and that is only a few hundred yeards down the road - same weather patterns.. Expand Been 40 years since Hyde Road...

racers and royals Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 Poland really pi$$ed off at the FIm/BsI for the scheduled Daugavpils semi`s on September 25/26th weekend as it`s play-offs. Belle Vue date isn`t such a problem as season should be over by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racers and royals Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 Daugavpils cancelled just Belle Vue The German federation has decided to pull its national team from the competition, resulting in the 2019 8th place team, the Czech Republic, taking their place.

eric i Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 If crowds are back in October can this go ahead with 25% or 50% capacity, how will this work with those who have already got tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand I've just had a look, the grandstand is full. There will be some disappointed people as that won't work. Can only think it will be refunds to those who can't travel, an offer of swapping to the back straight and then a ballot. Or they could do what Wroclaw did by starting again. That would be easiest in some ways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psycho3a Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I was looking at this today, Someone will correct me if im incorrect but the stadium capacity is 3700, im sure there will be no temporary stands being put in so my guess is the attendance will be potentially under a thousand, im guessing BSI will take a fair chunk of tickets for sponsors, each federation will be given a number of tickets allocated so what we left with 500 general admission tickets for the paying public ?? That is now a nightmare for the UK promotion and how they going to arrange this is not going to help the UK public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
