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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No,,, it's been moved to belle Vue already you donuts 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPEEDY69 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunner85 Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poland have sadly become too dominant both on and off the track in the speedway world 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only genuine stream was the Sportcentral.tv stream. The other 2 that I saw were scams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
