GP in Prague on the Sat Eve..In theory Pardubice would be ideal to hold the GP but the club hasn't the financial backing from City Council or private funding to hold the meeting of GP status. Another problem is if GP is cancelled due to bad weather that would put Golden Helmet in doubt on the Sunday Edited May 3, 2020 by zlata prilba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andout 653 Posted May 5, 2020 Due to health and safety directives issued by the government of the Czech Republic amid concerns over COVID-19 (coronavirus), the 2020 Anlas Czech Republic FIM Speedway Grand Prix, originally scheduled for 13 June, has been postponed until September. This decision was made after careful consideration and consultation with the FIM, BSI Speedway, ACCR (Autoklub České Republiky) and the Marketa Stadium promoter, with the well-being of riders and supporters remaining the top priority. The re-scheduled date in September will be announced in due course, with further event details to be made available as soon as they have been finalised. All tickets already purchased for the event will remain valid for the revised date, and ticket sales will re-commence on 1 August.

Fromafar 10,367 Posted May 6, 2020 Fans should be able to get a refund if the Date of the Original event is changed IMo.This “small print sh#t “ does not show the sport in good light.Doing more harm than good in the long term IMO. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AFCB Wildcat 1,362 Posted May 7, 2020 I'm just glad Ryanair sussed the Prague GP date this year and charged rip off prices for that weekend, hence me deciding not to bother. Otherwise it would have been even more money they owe me lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A return to any part of Europe for less than £100 is very cheap. A 20 minute taxi ride in central London costs the same as flying to Spain.

I have used Ryanair a lot over the years and have never had cause for complaint. Yes, last year my wife & I flew to Prague from Bournemouth for about £75 a head with priority boarding and chosen seats. This year however it was nearer £200 each for the GP weekend but cheap as chips for the weekends before and after so I decided not to bother as we'd paid less to fly to Tenerife which is a 4 hour flight. I just hope the days of cheap flights aren't over for good because of this current mess! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
