Warsaw GP 2022 Saturday May 14th

When you see the mammoth task that has been undertaken in the stadium over the last two weeks ... Do we really think that a July SGP is possible ?

When restrictions are lifted, gradually, over the next couple of months there will be concern about a 'second wave' that may come along later into the autumn. 

Surely they are not going to consider dismantling this operation for Rugby, let alone Speedway, until they are certain that the facility would not be needed for such an eventuality.

NO doubt there are also provisional plans to stage the British SGP at the Principality later in the year let alone season.

Are you sure? 

 

Won 't Welsh rugby get first dibs at Autumn dates, and I doubt there will be much opportunity for speedway. (How long does it take in advance to put the track in?)

OF course rugby comes first but the track goes in in a Monday and on the following Sunday morning there is not a trace of it left

TO my mind a late year SGP at the Principality is feasible for all sorts of reasons. No problems for spectators, seated under a roof, insulated against the elements.

I thought you wanted to 'wait and see'.....now speculating. Oh dear, that didn't last long

So you believe that this hospital will be removed when the virus could still make a comeback at the end of the year ?

I DON'T know, nobody knows what is going to happen going forward. But people are planning for a schedule based on the hope that later in the year sporting events will take place. Optimistic maybe but right now I'd rather be that than a pessimist.

I'd be surprised if 'nobody knows' what the projected time frame for the sophisticated infrastructure that has now been put in place at the Principality actually is ... 

But then perhaps I'm wrong and it will all be sorted by wishful thinking alone

As I say, realistic is the best thing

Two opinions from around the world are even worse than my prediction that hopefully we have a vaccine by autumn and can get back to normal.

One German expert is saying up to 18 months before sport with attendances.....

One from the US, say's "Larger gatherings, - concerts, conferences, sporting events......for October 2020, I have no idea how they think that's a plausible possibility "

WON'T be much sport left if that is the case.

As the guy in the US said, it is of least importance and will be the last thing to start back again

I would think sport to the respective governments means much to them,they will be thinking of how much taxes they will be losing without it.
