The Doctor... Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 I had an idea also that The Doctor would enjoy this but didn't have enough confidence to pace 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. This thread is about the national speedway stadium. Contribute or stop posting. You dont hear me telling you about the £20 bet i've got with a mate that i'll bump into you around Penge sooner or later do you ? Exactly..

Guest Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) It will be interesting to see if the new BV stadium recaptures the magic that I used to enjoy on my visits - many years ago - to the old Hyde Road venue? That will be 'speedway magic'. Dent Oliver, Jack Parker, Louis Lawson, Ken Sharples - they were among the many REAL speedway greats that I saw there.

Guest Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Mauger, Sjosten too - those were the days. Yes, more old-time Hyde Road greats. Over the years there were so many of them. A really and justifiably all-time speedway great club. This thread is about the national speedway stadium. Contribute or stop posting.

KIRKYLANE Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 As the emergence of the new stadium gets closer and closer , we must not forget the humungous part that Manchester City Council have played in the Belle Vue Sports Village. Obviously , Belle Vue promotion have had an enormous amount of work to do since the inception of the whole project. The council have done a tremendous job . Many councils are quite anti speedway and it shows where other potential speedway sites have been rejected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 http://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/4583/swc/ It's all coming true! Well Done Belle Vue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldace Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 There is no highest bidder aspect to the SWC. These events are BSI promoted and they simply rent the venue. They will opt for a 15,000 venue over Kings Lynn just for ticket revenue. And don't worry, it won't be a SWC qualifying event in Manchester next year anyway, I would be amazed if Manchester isn't hosting the race off and final http://www.speedwaygp.com/news/article/4583/swc/ It's all coming true! Well Done Belle Vue. Told you so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Great to have it at Belle Vue and what a brilliant idea having the run off and final on two consecutive nights, expect many will book for both and stay over. If they can also arrange a PL or NL individual meeting for Sunday that would make a great weekend of Speedway even better with racing Fri, Sat and Sun.

KIRKYLANE Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Roll on 29/30th July accompanied by large crowds. It would be sensible to do a deal for the Friday tickets if you have bought the Saturday tickets.... No GB in Fridays meeting could restrict the crowd size... although hopefully not.. I expect people to come for Friday / Saturday now they have had the sense to put them on successive nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I would imagine the race-off crowd will be bigger in the UK than other countries as we tend to be less patriotic than other countries and support other countries and rider more.

ColinMills Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 just maybe, if Britain shows a big big turnout, we "may" be given a 2nd gp in future 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 I would imagine the race-off crowd will be bigger in the UK than other countries as we tend to be less patriotic than other countries and support other countries and rider more. I think a bigger crowd for the race-off has nothing to do with lack of national support, more to do with us seeing the Star riders less and less, year on year live at our tracks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
