Dandelion Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 An announcement will be announced in due course to announce when the fixture list will be announced to the public, which will happen in due course once the announcement is announced. All will be revealed in due course. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technik Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 I will assume British Speedway will make a start with out the public if this is anything to go by. The last football play off match is at Wembley on May 31 & I don't think public attendence will be allowed prior to this date in stadiums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Most speedway tracks/stadia have a maximum capacity agreed by the H&S Executive. In most cases I would suggest an attendance anywhere between 25% and 50% of capacity would be sufficient for most meetings - except perhaps Bank Holiday meetings which usually attract bigger than usual crowds.

Neila Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Hopefully when we are released from lockdown, it maybe into the tier system, which allowed 2000 football fans into stadiums, which is more than enough for most/all league meetings, the fixtures on the site includes Somerset so all these need changed if Plymouth comes in, but will Mr Godfrey allow them to run on Fridays ??

Somerset never ran on Fridays in recent seasons, nor will Plymouth if they are in the championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the BSPL who made a statement initially, that the fixtures would have been published about a week ago. Perhaps they could explain the reason why they are not available, in view of THEIR original statement. Sometimes feels to me that they choose to work against, rather than with the paying public. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they haven't resolved the fixtures especially the need for Plymouth to accept the offer to join. Pity people don't think for themselves rather than 'join the gang'. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technik Posted February 1, 2021 Report Share Posted February 1, 2021 It is my firm belief that stadium events will not be allowed public attendence until after the Football season is completed. Football was permitted to have limited numbers within their stadiums, This was removed when the country was forced into lockdown . In all honesty I can't see the Goverment allowing the same sport to again make the move. I also look at the Football arena that for the most part is fully seated & easier to police where the public are allowed, No matter how you transfer the limited numbers to a speedway arena the only thing you can count in a restricted capacity is permanent seating. Any standing areas would need to be fenced into smaller areas for limited family members as has been the case for outdoor concerts & this will prove very expensive. May 31 is the end of the football season & not until then will our Goverment allow the public into stadiums in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything before 1 May is unrealistic, and anything during May would involve lots of organising just so league football teams could have spectators for one last match. Much easier to start from 1 June with new rules after working out ground rules with major Summer sports (cricket, rugby league, Wimbledon, Silverstone). Doubt speedway will even get asked what works for us and we'll just have to accept what has been decided. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if you see me as one of a gang rather than an interested spectator, who wanted to make plans to be available to get to matches (and was disappointed not to be able to do so). I am genuinely not sure how Premiership fixtures would be impacted by Plymouth's decision. Could a set of fixtures with Plymouth TBC, be issued?

The difficulty the Prem teams have had is with the rider changes at every club. When the full 1-7s are confirmed then each club can accept their draft fixture list or suggest any changes due to rider availability and/or fixture clashes ie foreign meetings/internationals/U.21s etc. Edited February 1, 2021 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity people don't think for themselves rather than 'join the gang'. Why not say that after a week then? It’s treating the fans with utter contempt that after a week a reasonable explanation couldn’t just be given for the delay - it the BSPL who set the week announcement themselves after all, when knowing about the Somerset/Plymouth situation. It’s the typical “ahhhh say nothing, they would of forgot we said a week” approach within the BSPL that pi$$es everybody off and rubs them up the wrong way. Such a simple simple mistake that could do easily be avoided and dealt with beforehand - instead of having to try and cover their tracks when the FIM ‘jump the gun’. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
