Oh yes ‘if only’...we would end up with absolutely nothing. These so called ‘promoters’ bailed out because they fell out amongst themselves regarding speedway and the car business they ran was in a bad way due to virus situation. I don’t blame them BUT Don’t suggest they are good and doing it for the supporters, they have bailed out purely for selfish reasons. So, providing that "statement" is true, you would rather see Glasgow race in 2020 (what's left of it) and go bust and not return in 2021? Weird logic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird logic. No I don’t want anyone to go bust..but I responded to a post basically saying Glasgow were to be praised...where as they bailed out of the CL when other promoters, to there credit, are sticking out.

This may also be true at other stadia, while others again might, indeed will, be able to run to a worthwhile, socially-distanced crowd. Having seen pictures of people on a beach near Bourenmouth, and a football stadium in Liverpool, is anyone social distancing anymore. Add to that the recent demonstrations up and down the Country and you wonder why we just cant get going with our racing season now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 Given that clubs are looking at a mid-August start to a truncated season, why are those against any racing this season assuming that the social distancing rules from 4th July will be the same? Its another 6-8 weeks further on when its just as likely that social distancing will be minimal eg .5 of a metre as long as everyone wears a facecovering. Many clubs are offering branded club face masks already so its almost that they've been given a nod from the politicians on the Speedway Parliamentary group?!

mikebv Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 My lads just been given 7th July as his pre season starting date for his League One team's U18 development squad.. Wheels seem to be in motion... Let's face it, if a few thousand can all get together, getting pissed and singing with arms around each other at Anfield, then letting 1000 in to a Speedway stadium who do nothing more usually than politely clap a winning rider has to be allowed... Especially as at most tracks each fan will be around at least 3m away from their nearest spectator if you use a 'normal night', for most places, as some kind of measure.. I would say a 'normal night' for most tracks is two thirds to three quarters empty so plenty of space to accomodate 1000 people.. And some tracks won't get anywhere near 1000 as a 'normal crowd' anyway so could still run to a 'usual attendance' with all social distancing in place..

The Third Man Posted June 26, 2020 Report Share Posted June 26, 2020 After July 4th social distancing is over, most people seem to think that 2m is 1m so 1m will be stood next to each other 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crescent girl Posted June 27, 2020 Report Share Posted June 27, 2020 The instructions regarding (even reduced) social distancing, masks and the like will be laid down by the local H&S, not the clubs. The clubs will be required to police the instructions, which may well vary from stadium to stadium - perhaps obligatory masking in seated grandstands, not on open terraces - - and the councils will have people at meetings to ensure the requirements are complied with. If spectators refused to obey a club's directions, and the local authority felt strongly enough, speedway at that venue might be shut down. So, if we are able to get some meetings on, and spectators behave as if they are on Bournemouth beach or Liverpool, they'll be the ones to blame if they lose it again.
