Face coverings mandatory? In an open air stadia with limited attendance to easily enable social distancing, we STILL have to stand there for a couple of hours with a bloody mask on?? I’ll give it a miss. 

Too damn right my friend,I have to wear one nearly all of my shift at work,I'll be damned if I'm wearing one for the best part of the meeting,and I was looking forward to this as was going to stop over.as you say,why the hell make it mandatory outside,I've been to Scunthorpe for the last couple of meetings and they weren't mandatory there,ludicrous!

I’ve not been one of those “I’m not ever wearing a mask” people, I’ve stuck to the rules and masked up to go in to shops etc where we’re supposedly more at risk of spreading infection, I’ve travelled on a couple of trains and masked up (even though others on same train didn’t), but this I’m not having sorry. The stadium holds around 12 thousand people, they’re only letting in a limited amount of that to safely enable social distancing. We’ll be socially distancing OUTSIDE, and yet still have to wear a mask for the duration of the whole meeting other than when eating or drinking? This whole thing is now seriously wearing me down. I love a bit of Speedway, but not that much. Pity as I was looking forward to it.

Could take a water bottle, and sip from it,,, no mask whilst drinking. 

 

I’m sure there’ll be some who’ll either disregard the rules completely, or find work arounds like you’ve just mentioned Baldy, but to be honest I can’t be arsed with the hassle. I can’t be the only one who has witnessed arguments in shops etc where a masked person is having a pop at a non mask wearer. 
 

Another issue, my eyesight has deteriorated in recent years and I now wear glasses. Has any other glasses wearer managed to find a way of wearing a damn mask without it steaming up your bloody glasses?

I'm sure plenty of people will take masks off once inside stadium 

But there will be some official who will ask people to leave if they are seen not to be wearing them,especially if it,s mandatory.

 I'm also a glasses wearer,,, I'm also a motorbike rider,, so have used anti fog for years,,,, I put anti fog on the inside of my glasses,,,, works perfectly.  Get down to your local motorbike dealer and get,,, Muc Off premium anti fog. 

Also I use a neck tube as my mask,,,so your breath tends to go out and not up, as they are nice and thin,, you can get those in bike dealer too

Might not be meaningless if finishing positions are used to decide GP/SEC qualifying places in 2021 !!

Then that would be unfair on those riders who decide to miss the meeting , quite understandably , for employment reasons etc. and that is not normally the way it’s done anyway.

It is i think you will find the way it`s normally done- how else do you think they do them with a small number of entries ? Think you will find that entry to the international U 21 comps are also done from the U 21 British final.
