But they have opened up the 3rd and 4th bend which is another 300 tickets So I expect about 1200 - 1300 which isn't to bad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first few weeks should see 'house full' signs at most tracks I would think given the reduction in capacity.. Lets hope it's not just a 'dead cat bounce' and can be built on... Shouting about the meetings being 'full houses' may be something worth considering? Doesnt need the details, just the headlines... Might stimulate a bit of interest from those locally who 'used to go'.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capacity hasn’t gone up, they have added some extra tickets on east side (3rd bend). There was a mixture of single and pairs of seats in grandstand, all the single been sold and only a few pairs left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) If the seating plan doesnt open up I guess that means all seats available taken. Maybe wise to get booking for the Peterborough meeting end of May, 30th. Some sections of seating are filling up, and it seems only Section 4 on the back straight has standing availability. And if you want to see the first Colts match, grandstand seats on bend 4 are now few, easier pick for bend 1. And usually no standing on back straight for Colt matches.

Government announcement on Monday was that stadiums can open up to a maximum of 50% capacity but every local council is to assess this, Manchester City council have said Belle Vue can have 33%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way at all , its speedway and rugby league for me although after what " town" have done to derwent park wont be watching them again. Eurosport will drag the meeting out so its better for me to watch at home but would have loved to have been their but long journey on a work day back to cumbria head is ruling the heart .
