Just announced new restrictions in Denmark. Pubs and clubs must close at 22:00, What is more important is crowds at football have now been restricted to 500 !! And this is in until at least 4th October. So I guess will affect the Final in Vojens now. I did see they were hoping for around 4,000.
It is a bit unfair to say ‘you’re all falling for’ at least when I have posted about the numbers in Czech it isn’t that I am falling for anything. Just noting that governments ‘fall for it’ and react accordingly. They paused the football league, then resumed, then cancelled it. But what is interesting is that despite the infected numbers rocketing for whatever reason, the government aren’t panicking despite call from the opposition and the ‘experts’ to do so

The final was held in Oberhausen, Germany. The meeting when Fritz Dirtl had his fatal crash. Won by Kjell Carllson ahead of Seidl
A piece of film from the meeting can be seen here from around 10:25

Who knows with this government. But I don't see how you can tell people you can only have a gathering of 5 other people, but thousands can sit near each other in a theatre or sports stadium........that seems like an ingredient for riots and disorder
I wonder if there has been another speedway family that has represented so many different countries ? Or say each generation a different one ? Possibly Russia also ?
