I thought it had already been staged and won by Tero Aarnio?

I must have read it wrong and thought we was talking about -21... My bad.

Run SON without the Finns.  Simple solution.

But SoN needs every country to take part...

DO you want a round of applause? It would have been at the NSS had the government not changed course.

A two day meeting in Manchester, In October?? Really. sorry I love this sport, and have supported for over half a century now, but this does not seem logical to me....

The liklehoood to me seems that at least one day will be rained off, and there will be no time to re-schedule. Hotel fees and flight costs will be at wasted

One day -Friday?/Saturday?  would at least leave Sunday open for re-staging. As it stands fans from outside the region and Country have to book for a two night stay, and will possibly have to leave without the meeting being staged.

I know this is a gamble we all routinely take every year, but this seems a step too far -though I admit I have not checked the historical weather records, and perhaps the FIM have...??

I live about 40 miles away, and had booked a hotel for this year. Will see if any tickets are available on the day next year, if it does not fall on half term again, when I will  (hopefully)be  abroad.

Regards

lol - exactly - I invested money to go in May 2020. I am a fan, so decided to risk it for October this year to support my sport.

If the original date would have bee a 2 day event in Manchester, in October, no I would not, It makes no sense.

Are you still going?

Regards

I doubt it will be October 2021.  Its a meeting normally held mid summer

Apply for refund before end of Oct or ticket rolls over to next year's event at Belle Vue (date unspecified)

Lucky you, I`m still waiting for an email.

I did get an e mail , and have applied for a refund -- next years event will apparently be in Manchester, in October again:

"Following discussions with Belle Vue, we are however pleased to announce that the event will return in 2021, with the date to be confirmed but will take place over a weekend in October."
