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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haza Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 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 .

Bagpuss Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) 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 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityrebel Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 There is a suggestion on Facebook, that a negative test result will be needed to get into a certain championship club, if we get underway on the 17th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trees Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think the allowed capacity will suffice to not mean advance ticketing but we will see ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Edited April 20, 2021 by Haza 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I think attending any event is going to be very very different from what we are used to in the past . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS50 Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 Kings Lynn appear to be one of several clubs, not to have this year's prices on their website. Getting more curious about the reason for this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
