The obvious question about this and other early fixtures will be ticketing arrangements.

It's going to be an awkward situation for club and supporters I'd have thought to know what's happening, as I believe it's that same day that BoJo confirms what and what can't happen, isn't it?  If for any reason, he alters his proposed plans late that afternoon, many people won't know, as they will have been at work.

With or without fans ? If it’s with fans will have to be all advance tickets or they won’t no how many will turn up as there will under current guidelines be restrictions on numbers allowed in .

Early meetings will surely be all ticket, it’s the only way it can be IMO. And with theatres etc opening that day surely BoJo et al will be making things clear over that weekend rather than during the day on the Monday? 

I wouldn’t be surprised if early meetings get pushed back but as it stands there is no reason this should t go head with some kind of crowd. The figures are very low currently.

Had an email this morning from Notts cricket club as they put it they are OPTIMISTIC ( there words not mine )  of fans returning for a county championship game on May 20th - rules are allocated seating within families or support bubbles - social distancing throughout-no cash sales for food and drink -restrictions on numbers in toilets - - even though I’m a member I have to get a ticket if I want to attend free of charge as I’m a member if I’m unable to attend I have to let the club no so I think speedway will definitely be all ticket -It also seems things will be confirmed on the 10th May if all the above will happen with fans so I guess speedway clubs will no more on the 10thMay as well

I think the allowed capacity will suffice to not mean advance ticketing but we will see ..... 

And how do you no what numbers could  turn up then without advanced ticket sales ? And if a big crowd was to turn up on the 17th who’s got the job of turning fans away  when capacity is reached ?  Stock cars fans last year was having to buy tickets in advance so really can’t see the problem.

Can't see advance ticketing being a problem,but also can't see buying a ticket on the day being a problem neither.Isn't it 25% of capacity allowed in,which  would be just over 2000 people.When was the last time we had that at Lynn,and quite frankly Ipswich aren't that a bigger draw any more:P:rolleyes:

Possible way around this mix and match if a 1000 tickets are sold on line the club then no they can sell a 1000 on the night bearing in mind social distancing though this could be a problem around the box office and main entrance- could they open an entrance on the back straight for ticket holders ? Sadly I think attending any event is going to be very very different from what we are used to in the past .

Personally i think some need to be held back to be sold on the night.Many of the crowds at speedway are made up of the older generation and not all of those like to buy things online.This could put those people off going,something speedway doesn't need.

I can't see any tickets being available on the day really, it'll surely be tickets in advance and season ticket holders having first chance of tickets, not being funny but who would want to drive x amount of miles to a speedway meeting on the off chance when you get there they still have tickets available to get in, I'd rather have guaranteed admission before i set out on a journey.
