I think someone should tell the local news this has been moved. Just been on and they saying it going on without a crowd,, but looking unlikely with the weather.   No,,, it's been moved to belle Vue already you donuts 

Hope they've remembered to tell the company doing the live stream and more importantly  the riders !!  2021 can't come quick enough for me surely it won't be any worse than 2020 - will it,  I'm totally p....d off with 2020.

Don't hold your breath. 2021 could be a repeat performance of this year.

BBC Look East had about five minutes on the final. They said it had been moved to Belle Vue on Monday. At least it was a good bit of publicity about speedway with interviews with Chris Louis, Danny King and Jason Crump.

Of course we had too.  Unless your new to speedway that's a really poor post.

It was a choice  - I could accept if you said he felt he had no other choice as he could be  'black balled' by Poland but it was a choice nine the less

Once that choice is made he has to live with it IMO

Can anyone shed light on when the rule about "competing in your National Championship taking precedence over other meetings" actually changed or are the Poles just flexing their financial muscles?

The more interesting question is, why didn't they just run the meeting a few days later in Ipswich? Why the rush and therefore need to find an alternate venue?

Stock car world Final next weekend - need to prepare the stadium for that including the 2500 fans that will be attending......

Perhaps the fact there is a World Championship Stock Car meeting with a crowd (paying £50 a ticket I believe) they need access to prepare the tracks etc.?

He had no choice 100%.  He has a contract in Poland, he was picked to ride so has too

More likely something about logged calendar dates (in which case Dan possibly could be excused :))

They've already emailed me and offered a full refund if I don't wish to watch on Monday.  I will still watch it but not live as cannot make it on Monday.  Really disappointed it's not somewhere different though.

IF the date had been logged surely Dan would have known and not accepted the booking for the British Open (sorry Final) ?

Glad to see it at Belle Vue....

personally speaking Ipswich is very low down on my list of favoured tracks.

The last time I went was two years ago as I had to attend a funeral in the area... prior to that a 27 year gap in going to Ipswich.

I would have liked to have seen a meeting on the old track... the stock car track

All polish league participants have signed a contract to say they will give Polish meetings preference.

therefore Dan had no choice

It's a wonder the Poles don't have them racing on Polish Licences then and getting Polish passports.
Poland have sadly become too dominant both on and off the track in the speedway world

Even us Witches fans who are only of an age to know the new track agree with the last sentence  - it would be awesome!!

Even with the existing inside line if it could be reshaped to encompass part of the stock car track to give greater width (particularly off 2 and 4) it would be great

I saw that there were several 'other streams' apparently being offered for the Belle Vue meeting last night - don't know if they were all false leads or not but reportedly the quality of the official stream was good, so am looking forward to watching tomorrow.

The only genuine stream was the Sportcentral.tv stream. The other 2 that I saw were scams.
