Well that confirms that then , what we all knew but bsi will now be able to make an announcement... Be interesting if they cancel or postpone and try and run as last meeting in November ??

flagrag 704 Posted May 29, 2020 It will be interesting if BSI get statement out in the morning now that National Media have confirmed that the stadium will remain equipped as a hospital until the autumn. I suspect that they are trying to do a release with new details of British GP at another venue with lower capacity(Not Belle Vue ) and also to confirm ticket prices and any GWG discounts they will offer to existing ticket holders so that BSI can keep the majority of money paid. Any restaging of the event will also be subject to UK Government allowing events of over 2,000 people Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any restaging of the event will also be subject to UK Government allowing events of over 2,000 people I’d have thought the obvious choice would be Belle Vue I say this because as things stand fans are not going to be able to attend so behind closed doors gp Live on tv on the original July Cardiff date is the only way forward I think - the other point is If fans could attend how many would at the moment ?because I certainly wouldn’t . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HGould 2,213 Posted May 29, 2020 Time for some people to stop living in a parallel universe. There is not going to be any Sport in UK and probably most of Europe in 2020 with any substantial Crowd allowed to attend. The only scope GP currently has would be "behind closed doors in Poland" where most of the riders are based until at least September. It will be many months before any Crowd of more than a few hundred is allowed (indoor or outdoor) and most likely that Countries much farther along the wave 1 recovery curve will lead the way. New Zealand, no deaths and no infections for over a week as an example is talking about crowds of up to 100 by SEPTEMBER if those trends continue. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
