Speedway28 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 Still announcing riders today which would suggest the meeting goes ahead but King was announced in the Speedway Star so maybe it's simply off the back of that. What sort of line up are people expecting? Rumours that Charles Wright has followed Cook in not taking part, completely understandable in my eyes for a one off meeting. No Nicholls confirmed also. I admire the efforts to get the meeting on but I'm unsure people would want to see a completely watered down line up complete for a British title, hence my scepticism behind the decision not to announce the line up before the tickets went on sale.

What a bizarre choice of word. Very bizarre! Had it read it a few times to make sure I was reading it correctly Deep down i'm sure they feel fortunate that they took the tickets off sale, but it's pure luck. Would they run the one-off meeting behind closed doors? That's the only way I see it happening at the moment, can't see riders wanting to risk it for what very little financial gain they'd recieve if it's behind closed doors. The rumoured 10pm Curfew may hinder things too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Blue Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 With 2200 in Foxhall it would have been rediculous easy to social distance and look pretty empty, if it goes ahead with 1000 it will look like nobody's there. The only real issue in my opinion could be if a curfew is introduced. 10pm could be a problem unless they change the start time, not an issue for locals but totally different if people are travelling any distance. I messaged Speedway GB asking how many tickets have actually been sold so far but as yet had no reply. Time will tell if I get mine or indeed if it even happens. Let's be honest, they don't have a great deal of time to get it sorted out, it's only a couple of weeks away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the line-up is as meaningless as it looks like being, 1000 might be an ambitious target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly it was over subscribed so several people will be having a refund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasser90 Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I brought 2 tickets for the British final and all I got was a confirmation email from PayPal. Speedway gb then said the proof of payment from PayPal was all you need to enter the track. So without actual ticket numbers for example if you bought ticket 1500 what is to stop you turning up just before gates open and producing your email from when you ordered the ticket and walking in ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoxworld Posted September 10, 2020 Report Share Posted September 10, 2020 I bought 2, at 17.24 on 7th September, what do you reckon my chances are, I must have been amongst the first to grab them in the very brief window they where on sale on Monday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My PayPal receipt says the 50p extra is for shipping so I'm assuming I'll get posted a physical ticket to use (if I'm in the first 1000 of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
