PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted April 18, 2020 BSI have done nothing of the sport. How could they? My guess would be no SGPs before August ... but it is no more than a guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And in the mean time carry on selling tickets, bag the money and when it comes to issuing the refunds, declare bankruptcy...And why not? It's not like BSI have the 2021 season to look forward to is it? They've lost the SGP contract so what do they care? Mess the fans around and screw things up for the Polish promotion company that take over next year, and one in the eye to the FIM for daring to give the contract to another company.

THERE is no evidence that a Polish company - presumably you mean One Sport - will take over anything. Receipts from ticket sales at Prague, Warsaw, Wroclaw and Torun go to the organisers not BSI. Same with Togliatti. Cardiff tickets are no longer on sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or as I said realistic...... I AM positive ... August, September, October. Who cares as long as there is some resumption. Of course I have a vested interest with the future of Speedway Star in the balance along with those who work for Pinegen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally don't give a dame about GP,s or other countries I'm more interested in this country and British speedway and if that's upsets people then so be it. But it's about time we put our speedway first. Let's hope we can all watch our beloved sport some time this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As a matter of interest Philip, do the individual clubs, i.e. Prague, Wroclaw etc set their own prices for tickets or are they answerable to other bodies ?

In addition to Philip`s answer, i would imagine that the non BSI promoted ;GP`s are individually negotiated between the clubs and BSI. The fee that each club has to pay to hold a GP varies and is such that the local authority/tourist board normally provide money to bridge the gap between what the clubs can afford to stump up and what BSI want. The clubs will make a commercial decision on what they can charge for the tickets-ie Wroclaw was a sell out in 2019 and served up a fantastic GP so have upped the ticket price this year by around a quarter.

iris123 20,918 Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) Seems the president has now confirmed the border will remain closed for the next year. And asked the Czechs to appreciate the beautiful local landscape as travel abroad is restricted, as it travel to CZ for foreigners https://news.expats.cz/weekly-czech-news/czech-borders-should-remain-closed-for-one-year-says-president-milos-zeman/ Edited April 20, 2020 by iris123 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
