So what chance have around 500-1000 people got of gathering at a third rate sport (as thats essentially what it is to joe public) in March in the UK? Where there are a huge amount of cases. It wont be happening. And the promoters know it so i dont see why they are pretending only to let fans down at the last minute. The season will be pushed back and back and before you know it will be October. yeah right ok be back to remind you of that !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easter was the target date in April this year but now the BSPL view is not til May at the earliest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The 'high risk' categories will have all hopefully been vaccinated by then twice (if all goes to plan).. And many of those age groups covered will form the majority of most Speedway crowds I would think so maybe if restrictions allow (as they will still be in place I would think until everyone has the jab), then maybe some individual and/or made up team events could take place in front of a 1000 or so? With the SON in Manchester in October actually happening too.. That's what they said last year and we are still waiting! Manchester always seems to be in the highest tier in the tier system.

Witty has said the hospitals will be under pressure until March, and you think speedway will be able to start 8 weeks later? Not a chance, esp when they won't race behind closed doors. July at the earliest for me, and even that is very optimistic! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am quoting someone in the medical profession, so you know... and July is being positive! If I wasn't being positive, I would have said not until next year.
