The White Knight Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 (edited) Not really, most Polush GPs are home promoted and they seem to keep coming back for more, Vojens staged a few as home promoters among others. It is up to that promoter to make the event work and clearly some do. I think next years, as the first one at the new stadium will easily attract 15,000, as long as the seeding for the hosts stays in place Well to me, taking as much as you can out of a Sport and putting nothing back, even in to training your future Riders, seems parasitical in my judgement.

I think the real challenge for BV is whether they can attract 5 figure crowds to "lesser" events like GP Challenges and World U21s, as the SWC will only come round once every for our five years at best.

PHILIPRISING Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 NOT sure any stadium anywhere can attract five figures crowds for the events you mention. But BV's business plan isn't dependent on that happening anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect crowds to watch the Aces will be more of a priority than the odd GP challenge though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be proved wrong by future events but ...................... I would suggest that there has been enough well attended sports event in the North West of England, to suggest that if the facilities are there, and the event is advertised, the average sports fan will show up ........................ Manchester is the host of Super League's Grand Final, it has hosted world cup games from both rugby codes, the 2002 Commonwealth Games were a success, Lancashire Cricket Club is based there, it's been home to niche sports such as basketball and ice hockey (and speedway ), not forgetting football...................... Manchester is a sports mad area, with a long history of turning up in numbers; and I'm very hopeful that the new stadium will lead to a boom in speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevor Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 There are thousands of people in the Manchester area who remember going to Hyde Road, but dropped off attending after it closed. I hope the new stadium will remind that generation of Speedway and with good promotion inform a new one too. Two and a half million people live in Greater Manchester, and seven million in the North West. Ten figure crowds for big events, must be obtainable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 WOULD a SWC Final in England attract a crowd of 15,000 no matter where it is held? If it does go to the new Belle Vue stadium next year, which is very much on the cards, then what sort of team could GB field. Woffinden, Harris, Cook, Nicholls and Lambert might be decent squad. Perhaps with a new team manager set-up. At our talk-in in Torun last Saturday a combo of Rob Lyon (Manager) and Mark Loram (coach) was suggested. Views? Has Alun Rossiter resigned ?

DJC Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Not sure if its been mentioned before but Man City V Man Utd the same day could cause chaos getting in for a 6 start! Isn't the Etihad only about 4/5 miles away from memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Ore Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Not sure if its been mentioned before but Man City V Man Utd the same day could cause chaos getting in for a 6 start! Isn't the Etihad only about 4/5 miles away from memory? Not even that far, I reckon. Parked near dog track for a rugby league international and a very easy stroll to Eithad possibly only just over a couple of miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't the Etihad only about 4/5 miles away from memory? The fixture is only in as 3pm start because Sky havent confirmed their fixtures this far in advance. Zero chance of it remaining a 3pm kick off..more likely to be on the Sunday.. so it wont affect opening night at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be allowed to play Saturday at either 3pm or 5.30pm by the Police.. Means a great sporting weekend in Manchester... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Have any major events been allocated to Manchester's new National Speedway Stadium for the 2016 season? Or are posters on here "counting chickens before any eggs have actually been laid?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Have any major events been allocated to Manchester's new National Speedway Stadium for the 2016 season? Or are posters on here "counting chickens before any eggs have actually been laid?" Tai Woffinden, Nicki Pedersen, Chris Holder, Niels Iversen, Chris Harris etc etc are a right bunch of nobodies aren't they? How can it be described as a major event? Surprised they have sold out the grandstand 12 months in advance with such nonentities. Definitely be on the Sunday.. Won't be allowed to play Saturday at either 3pm or 5.30pm by the Police.. Means a great sporting weekend in Manchester... Could work to their benefit if people want to make a weekend of top international speedway followed by the city's football derby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an idea also that The Doctor would enjoy this but didn't have enough confidence to place a bet on him joining in/ I would add for his benefit that my original Post was genuine and only after it appeared did I PM another BSF member about who might join the comments.
