Having a local team to support, the racing, the online banter, watching it on tv, different clubs to go support your team at, british final of all ages, watching local guys come good, the long term friends and acquaintances within the sport, simply love the press conference after the meetings, local derbies, loving hating Poole lol etc etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tellboy 3,660 Posted May 10, 2021 Just seen the new Government relaxation of fans into sports stadiums on May 17th.So as i would understand it Lynn has a capacity of 8000 i think which is a small outdoor stadium(i assume).We would be allowed 50% of capacity or 4000 whichever is the lower,so 4000 on both counts for that then.This would be plenty for speedway at Lynn anyway.What i don't understand with the Government is for big stadiums you are allowed less people on percentages.So why would you allow more people bunched in at speedway than you would at say a football match.

You certainly couldn't sell the sport to a newbie or an oldie with those comments. It absolutely proves the death of the sport that you had to say any old nonsense just to say something. British Speedway needs a hell of a lot of work to bring people in, right now it's dead. Facts 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is probably where the local councils take over, no doubt having had prior notice of the restrictions, in an all seater football stadium people can be allocated seating either individually or upto their bubble, at speedway less seating and people tend to flock together, plus a lot of tracks dont have viewing around the whole perimiter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
