PHILIPRISING Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I thought the resident BSI scribe said 'why would the GP go to Belle Vue' or words to that effect? I'm not sure about 21st century facilities - I'd settle for 20th century facilities at a speedway track... PERSONALLY don't envisage a GP at Belle Vue but plenty of other meetings could and should go there ... SWC Final, GP Challenge, World Under 21 rounds, British Final, list goes on and on. Still surprised how many on here haven't actually grasped what has happened since the original concept of a new speedway home for Belle Vue was formulated. The whole project is now much bigger than that, it will embrace other sports and activities, has enjoyed the backing of the local authorities, has had to jump through almost endless hoops and has still retained most of what was always intended ... a purpose built track, a splendid grandstand incorporating conference facilities, bars and a restaurant, and the potential to increase its basic capacity by several thousand as and when required. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Please find me a club statement that said GP. It was never said. http://www.manchester.gov.uk/news/article/6565/belle_vue_sports_village_a_new_centre_of_excellence_in_east_manchester http://www.manchester.gov.uk/news/article/6643/contractor_on-board_for_belle_vue_sports_village Then there was stories off them going to Torun to see how GPs were run. The front page of http://nationalspeedwaystadium.com/ states, "The forces behind the project are Stadium Owners - BVA, the British Speedway Promoters Association - BSPA, Licence Holders of the Speedway World Cup and Speedway Grand Prix - IMG and Manchester City Council."

oldace Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Oh dear SCB in Classic Fail post shock, lol! Unlike other posters on here I didn't have you down as thick, quite the opposite in fact, but this is not good is it? Are you under the misguided opinion that anyone cares what you think. Your opinion is as valid as Tsunamis'. You are both more in the objects of ridicule category rather than someone to be taken seriously. I am pretty sure Shawn wont lose sleep that mr "5 league titles in a row" thinks he is an idiot, in fact he probably sees it as a compliment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catabracadabra Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Congratulations to all involved with this, There will be people behind the scenes, it takes a lot of planning and organisation and hours for a project of this scale.it is yet another massive achievement, within this huge project. I have read the public report and this project is massive involving other sports, this will bring something special to the Gorton area and it's a bonus that the project has been heavy based round the speedway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 http://www.bellevueaces.co/newsitem.aspx?id=1252 Belle Vue bosses David Gordon and Chris Morton could not hide their delight when, at 2pm this afternoon, Manchester City Council unanimously granted planning permission for the Belle Vue Sports Village; at the heart of which lies the National Speedway Stadium. Described as a fundamental step forward, this historic milestone comes just 11 weeks after the planning application, the culmination of nearly eight years of patient work, was submitted on June 26th 2014. A small contingent of representatives from Belle Vue Speedway, including Gordon, Morton, George Carswell and Rentruck Aces No.1 Matej Zagar, were present in the council chambers in anticipation of this magic moment. The sense of anticipation amongst the small group was palpable as the chairman of the Planning Committee reached the agenda for the BVSV, and requested any objectors to the project to make their presence known. Nothing but the sound of silence was to be heard however, and in the swiftest of manners the motion was carried completely unopposed. Now it will be all systems go to begin visible work on the site on Kirkmanshulme Lane, next to the Rentruck Aces current home at the greyhound stadium, after the prolonged period of negotiations and planning behind the scenes. It is anticipated that, within the next 2-3 weeks, an on-site marketing office will be erected so that supporters can examine the plans and images of the NSS and find out more about this new era for the Belle Vue Aces. Gordon, thrilled at the successful outcome after so much time and effort, said: Weve done so much and there is still so much to be done, but receiving planning permission is a fundamental step forward so we can really get on with the job now. "We are extremely pleased that the scheme has received planning approval and now we're looking forward to the construction work commencing as soon as the post-planning formalities have been signed off. This is a significant time in Belle Vue Speedway's history. We are at the start of an exciting new era. It is very good news for Manchester, for Belle Vue and UK Speedway overall. "Once again, Manchester will lead the way with a world-class sporting venue. We will soon be able to release details of the start of activity on site, and the set-up which will include a marketing and information office where fans, sponsors and any interested parties can visit us and see at first hand the stadiums progress. They will be able to find out how to get involved with Belle Vue and National Speedway Stadium. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

one of clubs Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 Well done to the management for all their hard work and dedication in making this happen. It is somewhat gratifying to see that all the critics have disappeared and are hiding behind their keyboards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, lets assume I've been mislead by the poor PR form the campaign - again, I've said for a long time it's poor PR. Why go off on "fact finding missions" to GPs if the plan isn't to have GPs? It just misleads people. When is the 2013 and 2015 SWC final going to be run there then? didn't happen, and isn't going to happen. So get as excited as you like, what was promised didn't happen so the "haters" and "cynics" are/were right. What was promised didn't happen. Also, how the hell is a qualifying round a GP event LOL. A GP event is a GP event, you know, one of the rounds. Thats some serious twisting of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 THEY went on fact finding trips to GPs to educate themselves about several aspects of building a new speedway facility ... track drainage, preparation, pits, lighting and so much more. Not in order to run a GP but to stage speedway in general. Why (SCB) are you so hung up about having a GP there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugwash Posted September 12, 2014 Report Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) NO bloody stock cars. never ever in any shape or form. If outgoings exceed income it may well be a necessary step. Hope not, but you can never say never. btw At the present Kirky stadium who pays for the maintenance of the track, the speedawy promotion or do the stockies chip in? The Stock Cars stay at the dog track. They can't run at the new stadium because of the 3G astroturf centre green So will the bikes be kept off the astro?
