Capacity hasn’t gone up, they have added some extra tickets on east side (3rd bend). There was a mixture of single and pairs of seats in grandstand, all the single been sold and only a few pairs left. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OveFundinFan 4,141 Posted May 12, 2021 (edited) If the seating plan doesnt open up I guess that means all seats available taken. Maybe wise to get booking for the Peterborough meeting end of May, 30th. Some sections of seating are filling up, and it seems only Section 4 on the back straight has standing availability. And if you want to see the first Colts match, grandstand seats on bend 4 are now few, easier pick for bend 1. And usually no standing on back straight for Colt matches.

Government announcement on Monday was that stadiums can open up to a maximum of 50% capacity but every local council is to assess this, Manchester City council have said Belle Vue can have 33%. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No way at all , its speedway and rugby league for me although after what " town" have done to derwent park wont be watching them again. Eurosport will drag the meeting out so its better for me to watch at home but would have loved to have been their but long journey on a work day back to cumbria head is ruling the heart .

Maybe if Eurosport have screens at the tracks, so those there can watch the interviews and analysis between races it would help...? I remember the 3 hour Sky matches and they did drag, so much so I eventually didn't bother attending them.. And lots of empty spaces doesn't look good when trying to sell the sport... It does look like there has been some thought and planning gone into their production so let's hope it proves a catalyst for better times for the sport.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
