Congratulations to KB on a fine display. Coming on the back of his win at Lynn and his unbeaten performance for Coventry he really is putting together some excellent form in these early season meetings. Hope he can carry his form from these meetings over the course of the year.

Wolves V Poole 27/3/17 + Poole V Wolves 29/3/17 Es.
ouch replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Cracking ride by pointless Greaves to beat maximum man Klindt who when on a 15m handicap failed to pass him. You cannot take your eyes off this! Lol. -
Danny has a point as daft as it sounds. I think it was a Roger Cook programme where someone's new family home fell down leaving the young family homeless. They approached the company that built the houses but they just turned round and said you had a hand in building the house. They didn't but couldn't prove it. As far as I know they are still homeless. I had a some soup in a restaurant on Saturday and complained to the waiter about a fly in my soup. The chef came out of the kitchen accusing me of having helped make the soup saying the broccoli was from Aldi. I collect trollies for Aldi and couldn't disprove my participation in the supply chain. Needless to say I got no refund - again. It sound bonkers but as with Danny's scenario it's all true, honest, it's not silly, at all.

Did the BSPA spend money on ordering engines or is it a case of getting a discount if you mention them when ordering?

Belle Vue are very quick with meetings, 90mins tops with one Colts match last year being run in under an hour. Buster does seem to take an age with meetings but after the U21 farce I thought he'd do everything to prevent this and keep the fans happy. Guess not. Great shame.
-
The potential silver lining to this is that if the track is redone it can move away from the gate and go nature of recent years. I never watch Wimborne live as you just fast forward after bend three lap one, in fact the last time I watched a live meeting was on the Bet365 service and I felt suicidal. Matt should be like Chris Louis who after seeing racing at NSS wanted to try an emulate it at his track.
-
Agreed. I think he will be back but he'll have to be eased back in as MCC would rather anyone with first hand knowledge of their behaviour be kept at arms length. It's pretty much business as usual with the staff in all positions back in place for this year and even George was flouting around as usual. It was a shame Mr 10% offered MCC an avenue to sideline some troublesome tenants as the subsequent fall out wasn't really worth it considering we are back as we were. His laughable desire to have control of the NSS was soon nipped in the bud by MCC but the damaging ball was all ready rolling by then. Anyway back to Chris, I hope he's back soon as we can't afford to loose people like him and David with the sport being in its current state. Maybe attention can be diverted away from Belle Vue now that the speedway bills have been paid. A few weeks ago about 90% was cleared but a bit of rib digging sorted the other 10%. I wonder if the keyboards warriors will turn their attention to another promotion currently being chased for payment of speedway bills by their suppliers?

Lemo's done a lot of work for Darcey's fund raising so I wouldn't be surprised to see it at the NSS next year. Good facilities for Darcy with a bigger crowd to generate more funds plus it removes that element of doubt that seems to surround Wimborne Road. #doitfordarcey

Trouble is if you got a computer to just print out the facts as put out by both sides it would be accused of slanting to story a particular way. That it seems slanted towards one side should tell you something.
-
Not sounding good any of this. TBH I just thought he was your regular BSF troll be I don't think he's even a speedway fan now. I wouldn't enter into any financial transaction nor give any information about yourself to him as it will only end badly. Anyway back to topic. I don't see any further movement on this until the questioning of the council report in May. I hope it's not council asking council as the whitewash will just continue but even saying that there are some glaring issues that should they continue to be sidestepped will really get under the skin of the speedway community. Let's hope this David vs Goliath battle is a repeat of more famous version.

So it's just a fluke that a poster using your "eloquent" style when sticking it to Belle Vue disappears just as you join the forum? Or are we to believe that having watched the sport for however long, without commenting on here you suddenly feel that you'll sign up and post about the Belle Vue situation? I not sure what I find most insulting, that you think I'll swallow the above BS or your incredibly wide of the mark musings on the NSS. We're at a stage now with everything that's been put out for public consumption, that the prosecution is made up of three kinds. Those that don't get it. Those that just use it as an excuse to troll a thread. Those with an axe to grind with Belle Vue. It's certainly been a good exercise in sorting the wheat from the chaff when populating my ignore folder. Every cloud.

Avoid waytogo28, he's a previously banned fool. I think he's Mocking you. LOL.
-
I think that will come. When they took over three weeks ago I thought then it wouldn't be enough time to sort everything. They've done a fantastic job in such a short time getting things sorted so I think sponsors and other initiatives will follow during the season. I'm sure Tony and Robin will be calling a few favours in from their high profile contact lists.
-
Aces season tickets for PL NL combined and seated in the main grandstand offer over a £100 saving again. The new lot are honouring the BV500 club discount of 25% off as well. Marvellous gesture.
-
Belle Vue have four and a couple are quite young. We're hoping the locally sourced Colts will help things grow and flourish. The senior team has also done away with this need to fly riders in and out of the country whilst perfectly cabable UK riders sit on the side lines. There should be a minimum of four Brits per team IMO. Will the rest of the league go for it. For the good of British speedway back the red white and black, sorry blue!

Under 12's free at Belle Vue. Under 19's pay £7.

Sedgeman said, But Ive been working quite a bit with Terry and Wayne Russell, who were very helpful in getting my visa sorted, and Mark Lemon in particular, who comes from the same town as me in Aussie". I was told a month ago about Max's visa problems and they were on it then. If it takes the reported two months to sort then he should be ok for the start of the season. I dont think they want to announce him yet as we had our fingers burned a few years back with Travis Mcgown where we announced him but he never came. Looked a bit silly.
-
Your absolutely right about the racing attracting crowds back to Belle Vue. The quality of racing is the reason I don't visit away Prem tracks anymore as it's just not worth it. I never watch live speedway, I just record it so I can fast forward after the third bend. Before the NSS opened I assumed tracks and bikes had changed so much that good racing was no longer the norm. That's not the case and I believe all tracks should be prepared for good racing first and not the surface that offers the best chance of a home win. IMO this has been central to the demise of the sport over the last few decades. The 60 seconds is all in this sport, get that right and a delay here, poor announcer, crap food or dodgy car park become less of an issue and folk are more likely to return.
-
If the rider fifth in our averages outperforms Pooles or anybody else's third and fourth placed riders then we're laughing. I'd be happy if he just matched them tbh. I hope all three do well as we need these lads coming through to be the heat leaders and GP stars of the future.
-
I'm crossing my fingers that Sedgeman can hold his own against the other number five averaged riders, Rose, Riss, Newman, Robson, Wright and Wilson Dean. You've got to remember we're putting this team together at the eleventh hour, well more like five to twelve so we'll take what we can, at least we're on track. Not expecting much I'm just happy to watch The Aces at the fabulous NSS. On the Brits thing how many teams have more than us?

Ah, nothing quite like catching an Orion quote posted by another member. Is he still a muppet, has he got a contribution to make, will there be a pearl of wisdom to mull over? Muppet came the answer loud and clear. The quintessential troll, an utter irrelevance of a person who posts insults due to their inability to grasp the complexities? of the topics under discussion. Previously funny, now just sad. Oops forgot the emojis. Pictures help him understand a bit better. 😂😂♣️♣️😴😴😡😡😱😱

With regards to the MCC report a scrutiny process will take place with answers to the questions posed by the report being dealt with in May.
-
Ok. MCC withheld it but it's not in their account. ISG don't have it as it's still being secrectly discussed. Belle Vue don't have. So where is it?
-
"And withheld that total amount from the payment made then." I'm taking from this you think it's in an MCC account awaiting the outcome of legal action between ISG and MCC. To queer the pitch further though in a press release dated 04/11/2016 an ISG spokesman stated, We can confirm that there has never been any form of legal dispute between ISG and Manchester City Council as a result of the stadiums delivery, and we continue to work closely with the council delivering projects across the region.
