eric i 610 Posted July 29, 2020 If crowds are back in October can this go ahead with 25% or 50% capacity, how will this work with those who have already got tickets? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've just had a look, the grandstand is full. There will be some disappointed people as that won't work. Can only think it will be refunds to those who can't travel, an offer of swapping to the back straight and then a ballot. Or they could do what Wroclaw did by starting again. That would be easiest in some ways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psycho3a 101 Posted July 30, 2020 I was looking at this today, Someone will correct me if im incorrect but the stadium capacity is 3700, im sure there will be no temporary stands being put in so my guess is the attendance will be potentially under a thousand, im guessing BSI will take a fair chunk of tickets for sponsors, each federation will be given a number of tickets allocated so what we left with 500 general admission tickets for the paying public ?? That is now a nightmare for the UK promotion and how they going to arrange this is not going to help the UK public. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Government regulations change and allow a limited audience then perhaps they will go along that road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And what happens if government regulations change and put a stop to people from certain countries entering again. Or allow them to enter, but have to go into self isolation ? Is there a plan b ?

It looks like we are almost back to the beginning again......I know the German government said months back that people shouldn't travel because they weren't going to bring them all back like they had to in the Spring. Now we have the UK/Spain situation https://www.bbc.com/news/53595962 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I for one am pretty bummed that the GP’s were taken away from them. Cant see it getting better. Hope I’m wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
