Phil The Ace Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 For those that have bought tickets for this, they are being dispatched tomorrow by post. But if you have chose to collect them from the stadium you can do on Thursday onwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) UNDERSTAND that the artificial turf for the centre green is now down which has given the new stadium a classy look ... just like laying a carpet on old floor boards at home. Everyone working flat out now to get ready for March 19. Edited January 28, 2016 by PHILIPRISING 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

speedibee Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 The facilities are being built by Manchester City Council, who are also borrowing the money to pay for the development. It will then be leased to Belle Vue Speedway. I would love to know how David Gordon convinced a local council to borrow £6m and use it to build a speedway stadium with all the inherent risk involved being taken by the council, when here in Swindon our council is so broke then are suggesting that people may have to start picking up litter and mowing grass verges, as they council can no longer afford to do it. why not . the councils will gladly spend millions on white elephants for other sports , I cite Derby as just one such case but not 6 million 28 for a new cycling velodrome which is already losing 500.000 a year and set to continue doing so , If this new Belle Vue were to fail (I sincerely hope it's a massive success ) the facilties could easily accomodate another use so the risk of the council winding up with egg on its face are minimal . yet the potential for all mannner of accolades is massive , well done Manchester City council . David Gordon , and Mighty Mort , 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gordon Pairman Posted January 29, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) I had the privilege and pleasure of being shown round the National Speedway Stadium by Chris Morton and David Gordon yesterday, and the easiest word to use is wow! I have no idea when the last full facility custom made speedway stadium, as opposed to track, was opened, but I really think this one has to be the best ever. The indoor part of the grandstand, with function rooms, meeting rooms, bars, catering outlets and plentiful toilets, plus superb disabled access is simply amazing and will be better than anywhere else in the country for speedway. But it's outside that excels. Sight lines at the old track were always a problem - not any more. I don't think there will be a single restricted view area at the new stadium whether in the seating or standing areas, and the track is huge, with wide banked bends and slightly curved straights that recreate the old Hyde Road circuit - it must have a real chance of being the fastest circuit in UK. Even Mort is tempted to come out of retirement and have a few laps, knowing him, probably only behind closed doors. My respect for Chris and David, and everyone else involved in this project knows no bounds. This place is a must see for all speedway supporters and I wish all at Belle Vue every success.

KIRKYLANE Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 An enormous amount of work has been taken on by the Belle Vue promotion culminating with the opening meeting on the 19th March. However we should equally compliment Manchester City Council and the planning dept for their part in the Belle Vue Sports village. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldace Posted January 29, 2016 Report Share Posted January 29, 2016 Personally can't wait for the season to start. I do hope that they will fully utilise such a facility and as far as possible have a meeting an each week throughout the season. Being in both leagues will help but maybe some 'extra' meetings which include some of the top boys who prefer to stay away from the EL can also be scheduled. I'm sure a lot of people from other tracks will want to come to a meeting at BV. Here's hoping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
