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%.
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.
Belle Vue have announced they being allowed 33% capacity between 17 May and 21st June. So that will be 1000 plus some more if sold out, on the east bend.
So for the last few weeks, you can sit at a table outside with others and not had to wear one. On 17 May you can sit inside a pub and don’t have to wear one, yet they saying got to wear one at a completely open outdoor stadium.
Outside in open air that is ridiculous, can understand having to wear one going into toilets etc but outside with reduced capacity so distanced, just no need.
Regards Cardiff, the question is will there be another one there?
BSI had to give refunds as it's the last year they running the series and they organise and promote Cardiff themselves.
Will Discovery/Eurosport risk it or maybe go with a cheaper option in 2022?
