Sotonian Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 With the odds of speedway not returning until late in the season, there seems little prospect of a GP series. So, could this year's champion, if there is to be one, be decided by an old-school one-off final? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzie Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Sounds great with me, got my Torun tickets already. Good news: Will be first SpeedwayGP, and taking teenage son for his birthday. Bad news: Very unlikely to happen. Probably plan on the big trip to Europe in 2022 and should all be good. This mess is not going away soon, and the skies and free travel won't recommence until mid next year at the earliest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndBender Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 I think the ball games will take precedence if ANY sport takes place at the Principality Stadium in 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warsaw already moved to August 8th so maybe just the two in Prague and Germany to find a slot. Or cancel.

There must be thousands of people with flights and hotels booked for the original 4 dates. If speedway is back running, which means international travel is permitted, refunds on those original 4 dates would not be paid. It would turn more people off the sport at a time when it needs everyone to unite. Edited March 24, 2020 by Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james1234 Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 With Warsaw set for 8th August, would this be still the first round? Germany and Prague surely have to find new dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
