iris123 20,989 Posted July 19, 2023 They could, but seeing as they are after causing chaos and even more, publicity, it doesn't seem likely that it is high on the agenda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RS50 359 Posted July 19, 2023 I've always wondered how they get to the events they disrupt. Hope they don't use car, train, bus etc. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hope they don't use car, train, bus etc. From what I've seen in the flesh and, speaking as I find, they arrived / left in big diesel & petrol cars & SUVs (Beemers, Mercs, Transits, etc), curiously parked out of sight.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iris123 20,989 Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) Seems the German motorsport association have had a study done and found up to 80% of CO2 is caused by the fans. So speedway having very few fans are emmiting far less CO2 than other motorsports. Which is nice https://www.dmsb.de/de/ueber-uns/leitbild-und-werte/nachhaltigkeit/file/288080 Edited July 20, 2023 by iris123 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There were locals primed to go and that was when the police extended the blockade. Would have been more fun if they had let the locals at them lol. The only people impacted by what they did yesterday were contract workers. Ineos workers who couldnt get into work were just sent home but will be paid. Not all contractors - many of whom are on the construction/electrical side - have the same luxury Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
