woofers Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Does Zagar get paid for 1 meeting or two here? Doesn't matter, first one abandoned after heat 12, second one postponed....... Rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I don't see the issue. The fans have a readmission ticket for a meeting. No different to if any other meeting gets called off before the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellevueace Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 Glad i didnt bother now, money saved and i can look forward to the football tomorrow, whenever the weather appears iffy i dont bother now, it has proven to be the right decsision every time so far this season.

OveFundinFan Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 I have been away from speedway for so long now, about 35 years since going to Belle Vue from the late fifties on well into the late seventies. Really sad to read of all the disgruntlement from fans now. British speedway really must be in the doldrums. Sad, so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldace Posted August 18, 2014 Report Share Posted August 18, 2014 There isn't an issue. As for a refund, lol! Get a £12.50 refund and then pay £16.50 for the restaging, thick or what. I cant imagine there were many of them there but not really vfm for the lakeside fans is it. £25 for 12 heats unless they want to trek 450 miles to watch a match of no interest to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 How are Belle Vue going to fit all their home meetings in? More double headers planned. We can face eastie after play offs if eastie don't get in them Coventry in 2 weeks will probably be 2 matches against urselfs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim3751 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 How confusing it must be for young kids being taken to speedway these days. Is Schlein doubling up with KL and Lakeside? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 We can face eastie after play offs if eastie don't get in them The issue is that IF Eastbourne were to win at BV, they might make the play-offs. You can't really count them out yet. How have BV, yet again, managed to end up with so many fixtures at the end of the season? It seems to happen every year. 2010 we had Coventry having to go their in the rain, 2013 Poole had to go their in the rain, 2012 they didnt bother running 2 fixtures.

ABS Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Ironic that less than two miles away, on the Mancunian Way, there had not been a single drop of rain and dry all the way back to Bolton. Very unlucky to lose what had been good entertainment to a cloudbreak. Had we started, as advertised, at 7:00, we would have completed the Lakeside fixture, but as the programme stated a 7:15 start, that's what we had to run with, apparently. It's a shame the Brains Trust didn't advise us of that beforehand though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruckerroo Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 irrespective of last nights meeting on sky the play off picture this year is murky. i so wish eastbourne would actually book a top replacement for blackbird each week, theyve as much chance as any of the other 3 sides of making the play offs really,everybody capable of beating each other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you will find that Coventry have even more fixtures to fit in than Belle Vue. I am sure watching that farce of a meeting from Coventry last night that I heard someone say that Coventry will struggle to fit them all in, and as long as they run enough to make the Play-offs the rest do not matter.

Not difficult just look back through the fixtures. The reason has been the infamous Manchester weather plus the enforced SWC break. Some brilliant racing last night just such a shame that the cloudburst was right over the stadium. As others have said no rain at all just a short distance away. Lakeside looked poor and Nilsson was particularly unimpressive. They were fortunate that Schlein was on top form. Nice to see Lee Payne back in the points.

And Ive complained about it and said its stupid. But Coventry don't have a history of doing it do they? BV do, once is bad, twice is really not right. But 3 times is really taking the pee. And Coventry don't have more, they have the same. Both clubs have raced 9 home meetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
