  1. Buster was on on BBC radio manchester this morning. Said that he expects the council to make a statement early this week. He did say we are definitely running next year though
  2. Key 103 just tweeted that news is just around the corner aswell. Well kinda said that
  3. They must think they are viable otherwise they wouldn't keep coming back for more losses season on season. But yes the standard as dropped. The crowd as dropped. It is now not far of an amateur sport. Ouch haha
  4. I have heard it on good authority that Monday or Tuesday will be the day. a certain someone as been sorting stuff while all this mess as been going on so we will not be left behind.
  5. Monday or Tuesday things should get announced. So belle vue fans get your eyes peeled
  6. Apparently a source within the Coventry team have denied being told to look for another team
  7. I have no reason to disbelieve this unfortunately as I have heard the same. The shale that was taken is now at belle vue stock car track. That's to me was a sign that things are over. But until it's official let's pray that it's not true
  8. Probably not while he is still co-pro at poole
  9. Again he was just showing ppl what his previous involvement with speedway especially belle vue speedway was.
  10. He was just pointing out that Mark hennessy own autogate and is previous sponsor
  11. Couldn't be further away from the truth if you tried as per usual. Buster as got someone to fit the bill. He set out to stop pairman getting his hands on it and has succeeded. The other bloke Mark hennessey is just as good a fit. And tbh I'm not arsed who takes over as long as someone does
  12. Why is it desperate. There was 3 people I terested. One as pulled out. The one the bspa want is still in for us. Nothing to worry about or see here
  13. You was round his house for a brew not long ago dIddnt you say on another thread. So why don't you ask him if he is still involved because I'd love for Chris to still be involved. Aces legend through and through.
  14. Just seen some pictures taken from weekend. Damage don't look to bad
  15. We might not hold a world cup ever again aswell. Lol
  16. Have you been?????? And you should be the last to talk about heavy handed security. 2015 play off final your security were thugs. Pushing and shoving the elderly belle vue fans. Especially the old grey haired man who looked like a pirate.
  17. Manchester titans. American football team
  18. Had to copy and paste from a BV page The following was posted on the belle vue army forum and fans page on Facebook. makes interesting reading. "The council requested an investigation and report into the track issues. The comprehensive report was compiled by Arup's. It's filled with very technical jargon but the main problem was the tarmac from the hockey pitch that wasn't removed and the geotextile membrane used was not as specified nor the same as the rest of the circuit. This as you say effected the ability of the track to accommodate moisture in the most unpredictable and frustrating way. In certain environmental conditions all was well in others the surface became soft and boggy. Due to the unique nature of the problem and the fact it has never been encountered before conventional solutions were adopted to solve the problem and these were only to do with the top surface. To frustrate matters further work carried out on the shale seemed to do the trick but in reality it was just favourable environmental conditions lulling us into think all was well. The best illustration of the unpredictable conditions was around the time of the full behind closed doors team practice. This lasted several hours with Aces, Colts and others taking to the track and giving it the thumbs up. A press release with comments from Mark Lemon saying all problems were sorted and the track was good to go followed. Two days later people congregated around turn three near the track maintenance gate to witness water bubbling up from below. The following meeting was then called off and bends three and four fully ripped up and the investigation put in place. There are many photos in the report with one showing an amount of used nappies used to fill the base. This isn't a key issue but illustrates the level of workmanship in this area. I think the contractor was keen to finish and therefore not receive any penalty payment requests due to missed deadlines. The main contractor employed a sub contractor to carry out the track groundworks. The council own the report and have since placed an embargo on its publication. The council and contractor have many multi million pound projects in place in the city. ### To put it mildly the council were not keen on rocking to boat with their preferred contractor and anyone instigating such action was seen in a very dim light indeed. When the option to sweep them, oops I mean things under the carpet was presented to them by a third party they jumped at the chance."
  19. Which thread have I come across here. I can't bloody remember/tell
  20. Yet one guy at the bspa is doing everything possible to stop the councils choice in taking charge. The councils choice is a speedway man and is currently a Co promoter elsewhere
