National Speedway Stadium Opening Tickets Now On Sale


Recommended Posts

That's exactly what I asked Eurosport via email. Why show it in this country when the Brits are barred? Madness.

 

 

Maybe you should e mail channel 4 and ask why they bother with the superbowl when no British teams are in it ? more madness

 

 

FFS What a wally

There are a number of restrictions in place from the planning permission:

 

For example, meetings can be held on Wednesday, Friday and Saturdays only - 18:00 to 22:30

There shall be no more than 43 meetings during the main season of which no more than 25 meetings will be held on Fridays and no more than 18 meetings on Wednesdays or Saturday
There shall be 7 hours of practice sessions 3 of which will be Sundays (main season) or Saturdays (out of season). The practice sessions shall start no later
than 12:00 (midday) and finish no later than 18:00.
If I read this correctly and there was an FIM event at Belle Vue on a Saturday and it was rained off, when would it be rerun as it appears that like Berwick (last year) there will be no facility for a Sunday meeting. Indeed it would appear the next date would be Wednesday.
Should this be correct, why would the FIM even think about allocating any fixtures to Belle Vue?

Have it on a friday then, no probs. Since OneSport took over EC and turned it to SEC -> increased total of FIM and FIM Europe meetings, qualis and semifinals have in both championships been ridden on friday evenings as well as on bank Holiday mondays. There's just too much meetings for all of them to have a saturday slot.

Threaten to punch him out next time he's at Swindon. That's a fool proof response to any situation.

 

 

Oh I don't know, I already have my hands full next time I am at Swindon sorting Sidney out.

 

Still that should only take 30 seconds or so, allowing 20 seconds to phone him an ambulance so reckon I could squeeze another in!!!!!!!!

So what is the point of planning permission if it planned to get special dispensation. Why not just get the correct permission in the first place!

Because the residents might object if racing was regularly allowed on more nights a week. You can still apply for planning permission to run one-off events.

I would imagine if they went to the council for a one off for the World Cup they'd love it. They hardly want this stadium to be built and barely used. They want World Cups, GPs, Euros etc. Manchester is a sporting city and loves having it's name spread far and wide using sport as the vehicle.

EXACTLY and why they have been so supportive. But also because of the academy which offer local kids the chance to try speedway. Not quite as easy as kicking a football around of course but opportunities will be there.
