Noodles Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 The one on BV website not correct now, no terracing on bend 1 & 2 full stop (apart from a small section on bend 1 for riders and mechanics etc), there is terracing on bend 3 and 4 for league meetings but not for world cup as temporary grandstand will be there. Thanks for this explanation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R87 Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 totally understand this point, but footy clubs still create big Monday night crowds where ever they play, and surely the Manchester area alone could boost a british final night? There never really seemed a big effort by Wolves to publicise the British final if I'm honest Have to say I think the larger Belle Vue track will be much better suited. One of the reasons I disliked the meeting being at Wolves was being there after 11pm still waiting for a result. I want to be at home by that time.

Bagpuss Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Makes perfect sense to have the British Final on the same track as the SWC final and also on a big fast track in terms of trying to be successful in international events in general. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good practice for the Brits prior to the SWC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Good practice for the Brits prior to the SWC. Too late, If you check out all the big billboard posters springing up all around Manchester, some will confirm that the SWC actually took place on 29th & 30th July last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The meeting being switched to Belle Vue, I can not see it making any difference to the time the meeting finishes. Is it not the GOD Sky TV that makes the meeting drag on, on and on. I will certainly be missing from BV that night (and I have no Sky TV). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the track protected against this by buildings or the way the track is placed in the stadium (which direction the straights face) Genuine question.

ouch Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 Should be fine as its positioned the same as the old place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted February 23, 2016 Report Share Posted February 23, 2016 It is great to see billboards advertising the World Cup. When I started watching Belle Vue there were lots of Speedway bilboards around Manchester. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track is same direction as old track but we had a massive dogs scoreboard blocking the sun which is positioned over on 1st bend. We do have the sports centre on the first bend but I don't think that will block out the sun as much as the old score board did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track is protected by clouds. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoke Potter Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Does anyone know if you can watch from the bends at the new track, or is it just on the straights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Does anyone know if you can watch from the bends at the new track, or is it just on the straights?Think when the Elite League starts there will be a mad rush for the terraces with Elite League admission £20 or £23 for the new stand.

Phil The Ace Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 It is now sold out 5000 tickets sold So well done More tickets may come available depending on the few test events coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OveFundinFan Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Take a look at the artists impression on post 491 You will see buildings for other sports facilities. The new site is a sports village, speedway just being one sport. To enable stands or terracing the whole way round trun 1/2 would have meant a smaller track, whch is not what BV wanted. A sacrifice to pay to ensure a larger racing track. Its a shame cause plenty of action on turns 1-2 but also plenty of spectator space rest of the stadium and dont forget for the bigger events like the Speedway WC end of July a stand will be erected on turns 3-4.

acef Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Capacity is 5000 without temp stands I think. Supply and demand I suppose. I think they could have erected the stand and probably sold it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
