topsoil Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 When the government gives the go ahead to mass gatherings. When that will be, nobody knows, so pointless guessing. I wish i had a £ for every time i've seen this question posted on social media. Everybody has a guess when they think it will be, but nobody knows.

RS50 Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 If you can't have crowds in stadiums until October, no chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 In Boris speech the other day (telefvided and in newspapers) he was talking about October for "mass" gatherings, so thats end of speedway time. So effectively speedway in UK not going to happen. As for will officials be required COVID testing if stadia dont open. Well its happening in other sports now where no crowds ie footba;;, F1, MotoGP so yes it more then lokely be required IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s got nothing to do with riders and officials testing though.In Poland riders  and officials are tested and its limited attendance there.!

I personally don't think it will discuss Depends if there is a second spike. My favourite GP Chris Whitty has said, "They will not hesitate to re introduce some of the lockdown proceedures used this summer." This was said in relation to the coming changing of season.

Don't believe covid testing is the relevant point. Speedway can not pay without crowds, struggling even with them. An October start would be too late for a meaningful season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christalan Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 I believe this season will not be able go ahead so I suggest the BSPA have a meeting to cancel this season altogether like many other events have throughout the UK then all riders etc from abroad can return home.

That would be working on the assumption the BSPA give a damn about anyone but themselves and their own goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted July 20, 2020 Report Share Posted July 20, 2020 Unless the powers that be can get a clear concise answer from sport and culture within 10 days i dont think theyve any choice but to call stumps this season. Its not an elite sport by any stretch and you couldnt call gatherings mass . The government are keener for the culture vultures to go too a fetid opera or a show indoors than let people go for a pleasant evening in the fresh air where the current odds are 2,000-1 to catch even a symptom of this media driven virus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
