There would be no issues streaming meetings from Belle Vue,Wolverhampton,Sheffield and Kings Lynn. Peterborough and Ipswich are a bit more challenging but can be done for a little more cost. The TV meetings will start around the same time as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt any restriction would allow any club to survive. not 25% of a crowd but 25% of capacity. So if a stadium had a capacity of 4,000 then a crowd of 1,000 would be allowed.

By May / June crowds will be allowed Restricted at first.. 25 to 33% Be enough for most Clubs to start. Bought (reserved) some Test Cricket tickets already. Like your optimism, hope your right for the sake of speedway and my holidays. Edited February 21, 2021 by hyderd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough and Ipswich are a bit more challenging but can be done for a little more cost. The TV meetings will start around the same time as well Don't think streaming from individual tracks will provide enough revenue. You probably have to charge less for streaming and you lose income from families (who only buy one stream instead of say 4 tickets) and probably a fair amount who don't stream given the demographic. You might pick up more revenue from away supporters and even some neutrals but you basically have the same cost base. I reckon it could work for shared events where there's an interest for each team but not when there's only two teams involved where I doubt the viewing figures would be large enough to attract advertising to fund the gap. I really hope that the BSPA are asking government if they can act as a guinea pig for the return of supporters to live events. Whilst I've got no appetite to attend events with restrictions in place I think league speedway would be an ideal test bed for that sort of thing and it can't do any harm doing the government a favour. They might even under write any losses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon1983 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 streaming only adds to the cost of running a meeting, would be a financial disaster for most if not all promotors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old bob at herne bay Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 Seems Glasgow and Edinburgh will/might be be running to a different set of rules - although not too sure whether the Scottish Nationalist Party has made up its mind yet on sporting events. ......

So you think that because tracks were closed no activity took place? Dear oh dear. Lots of clubs up and down the land have a plan for re-opening. No doubt you will disagree on something that is obvious to anyone with a brain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be amazed if any track hasn't completed all its 'Covid protection' work a long time ago... Remember, last season was still supposed to take place a fair way into the pandemic, so tracks would have done the work then... In readiness for an almost 'instant return' should it ever have took place.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
