I've been scrolling thru doing various Foxhall/Spedeworth Google searches but can't actually find anything about capacity numbersmost I've found is backstraight terracing holds 3,500 and backstraight stand holds 1,500, so that's 5,000 along the backstraight only, i know their often had 10,000 to 15,000 in the stadium for big Hotrod/Stockcar meets, and likewise had them same kind of numbers at speedway back in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poole announced a reduction from £18 to £17 when they decided to go Championship, so assume that will remain the Adult price for 2021, bearing in mind some have already paid for their season ticket passes based on that price.

Ipswich pushed at that or just above for recent play off meetings but standard league fixtures no more than 2000 with a hardcore 1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the capacity, you wont be allowed 4,000 in if that's more than 50% of stadium capacity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marksman Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 The upcoming fixtures on the SpeedwayGB website have been updated I noticed.. All fixtures prior to 17th May have been removed.. But are still on the Fixtures/Results page though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnieg Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 There are different limits for seated stadiums and outdoor events. So how do you work out a limit for, say Poole, which has an indoor grandstand/restaurant, an outdoor grandstand and outdoor standing viewing. My guess is that venues will agree capacity limits with local public health officials and that these will vary between 25 and 50% of maximum capacity (as happened with the few meetings that went ahead last season) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waytogo28 Posted February 23, 2021 Report Share Posted February 23, 2021 18 hours ago, Daniel Smith said: I was absolute shocked by this but Dale Allitt a couple of weeks ago said King's Lynn's capacity was 10,465. This is not a typo, 10,465 That must be correct if quoted by the Promotion, mustn't it?. Mind you a more likely estimate of attendances in recent years is between 800 - 1,500 so seemingly no problem.
