Stadium Information

Recommended Posts

We'd like to provide information for tracks abroad, specifically for disabled users, but also for people travelling to GPs or meetings in Australia, Sweden, Poland, Germany etc. As an example here's Belle Vue's:

 

Address: Belle Vue Stadium, Kirkmanshulme Lane, Gorton, Manchester, M18 7BA.

 

Race Night: Monday

Promoter: Chris Morton

Team Manager: Eric Boocock

 

Track Length: 285 metres

Track Record: 57.8 (Jason Crump - 07.08.06)

 

Admission Prices: Adults £16, Concessions £11, Children (12-15) £6, Under 12s free, Family Ticket (2 adults/3 children) £38

 

Programme: £2

 

Aces hotline: 09066 555 924

Race Days Only: 0161 223 7720

 

Website: www.bellevuespeedway.co.uk

 

Situated: In the city

 

Car Parking: Tarmac. Pay to park. Car park for leisure park across road, not sure how safe it is.

 

Access: If via turnstiles you have to get someones attention to open side door. Maybe possible to use pit entrance

 

Inside stadium: Home straight terracing. Not easy access on my last visit. Restricted viewing from W/C, may have been upgraded since. Back straight and 2nd bend, flattish if bumpy access, but viewing okay from 2nd bend grass slope. Large glass fronted stand on home straight - not sure of access.

 

Toilets: In main stand.

 

Pits: Behind scoreboard on 1st/2nd bend not viewable from terracing or stand. Limited access to the pits until 7pm.

 

Facilities: Home straight bar with track view, grass banking accessible through pits on turn two and terracing on third and fourth bends.

 

Refreshments: Fast food, bars, large bar, and private rooms if needed.

 

Dogs: NOT allowed

 

I know that not all of that is appropriate for, say, GP venues, but if anyone can help with their own track I'd really appreciate it.
