Skodaman 192 Posted April 28, 2021 3 hours ago, flagrag said: I wouldn’t think any Speedway fans who want to visit Leicester will have any issues in getting tickets for meetings with the stadium capacity over 3,500. The first meeting will be very busy so that is only one that may be an exception to the above. The biggest issue I can foresee is that casual fan who wants to just turn up on a nice summer night but can no longer do this as will have to have purchased their ticket online beforehand. Tosh1218- There was some lower crowds but over the season was over 1,500 including season ticket holder’s I thought that the capacity was 4500 hen it opened.

I believe Lynn are selling a limited number of tickets on the night for 2021 for those unable to purchase online, this seems a sensible move. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lionspride 26 Posted April 29, 2021 I am sure I have read somewhere that ticket sales will be suspended at Noon on the day of the match to allow the club to organise the stadium into Covid secure sections with the right amount of people in each area to allow social distancing. I can see this causing some issues because some people always want to view from the same area but if that area is full they will complain they have watched speedway from day 1 in that area. I personally like to watch a few races from each different area but I will be trying to get into the bend 3 area if I can & allowing they open the full stadium for NDL matches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

People, quite simply, have to be sensible. If they want to stand in "their usual spot", then get there early, otherwise they may have to stand "where they can". 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Understand the closure of tickets at a certain time but utterly mad about keeping you the same area. Non League in September/October you were allowed to wander - Beaumont Park is 85% open air.

There's always someone that will complain.....but I'll be grateful and count my lucky stars that I get to see any racing, from any position!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
