iris123 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 That`s some rent 4.5 m.Lets hope it gets the go-ahead Guess we don't know over what period that has to be payed,but looks enormous for a speedway club !!! Fingers crossed this gets the go-ahead,and fingers crossed that the guys behind the speedway have got their sums right Surely though they are only going to host SWC rather than GPs with only 6,000 capacity????

SCB Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 So it's only £75,000 a year. Not a huge amount then as the Malletts were paying only a little less for Newport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 DON'T forget they won't have to rely just on turnstile income, will enjoy all the proceeds of the bars and restaurants and will have no rent to pay. Plus, hopefully, the grandstand will be used throughout the week, again providing a useful revenue stream. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Leslie Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Guess we don't know over what period that has to be payed,but looks enormous for a speedway club !!! 60 years. So £75K per year, and that's from the whole stadium not just Speedway. Looks like Rugby League, Football, Hockey, pop concerts could also be renting the stadium. Also presume the rent will be staggered over the 60 years, as £75k in 2074 will probably only be the average rent of a 3 bed semi Surely though they are only going to host SWC rather than GPs with only 6,000 capacity???? 6,000 is the capacity for Elite League. Temporary stands will take it to 18,000+ capacity if needed for bigger events 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed this gets the go-ahead,and fingers crossed that the guys behind the speedway have got their sums right Surely though they are only going to host SWC rather than GPs with only 6,000 capacity???? 6000 is the basic capacity, for SWC temporary grandstands will be put on back straight raising capacity to 10,000 and for GP's extra stands put on bends too raising it to 16,000 (off top of my head) This is the report being discussed today : http://bellevuespeedway.net16.net/bellevuesportsvillage.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Interesting to see a piece on this on BBC TV local news this morning. Watching this, hope the rubber stamps are out in the town hall today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temporary stands will take it to 18,000+ capacity if needed for bigger events I thought the centre green was a junior soccer pitch, it won't be big enough for rugby league. I think the new place will certainly bring some fans back, I was a regular at Hyde Road, but one visit to Kirky Lane was my first and last! Good luck to the Aces.

John Leslie Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I thought the centre green was a junior soccer pitch, it won't be big enough for rugby league. The centre green is a rugby pitch which can be used for football or hockey too. Cut and paste from the meeting report which has approved the scheme this morning:- "The Grass Rugby Pitch will be funded from a contribution from Rugby League of £0.12 million and the balance of funding of £0.28 million is already within the Children’s Services capital budget for St Peter’s High Playing fields in 2014/15." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) £4.5m to be paid back over the next 60 years / £75,000 per season sounds an awful lot but it is an absolute bargain. 4412 entrance fees will cover that expense over a whole season so not a great deal to worry about. Also, I'm guessing, if the rugby are also playing at the stadium would they be required to pay rent too Belle Vue speedway?? Some do know my opinions on this and I'm absolutely gutted my team King's Lynn will now lose out on major events but Good luck to Belle Vue. If all the numbers are correct it's an absolute steel.

iris123 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 6000 is the basic capacity, for SWC temporary grandstands will be put on back straight raising capacity to 10,000 and for GP's extra stands put on bends too raising it to 16,000 (off top of my head) This is the report being discussed today : http://bellevuespeed...ortsvillage.pdf So looking at the plan it seems they need to basically double their crowd to make it a success which seems very risky even with one or two big meetings per season.This needs all of British speedway to get behind it,which is also very risky knowing how speedway operates.
