cityrebel Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Lakeside won't be racing at Kent, Kent will be racing as Kent. Lakeside will be no more, that how I understand the situationfrom what I have heard lakeside are not dead yet, and kent in the EL is not a done deal.

chucks Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 BV must know how many teams as they are selling season tickets? a bird in the hand worth two in the bush. springs to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 What if there is a merged EL / PL "Big League" with no GP riders and one rider / one team? With some PL teams on dodgy ground for the future maybe one home meeting per team is the answer. Â Did BV say that there will be a "maximum" of 20 meetings? Could there be more maybe? As I see it the "guaranteed" 20 meetings should ve viewed as a minimum not a fixed prediction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I see it the "guaranteed" 20 meetings should ve viewed as a minimum not a fixed prediction. It just says Elite League 20 Meetings and the cost of the season ticket is the equivalent of 20 standard entry fees (£340) although the price does include a programme "worth" £3 (yes, £3) and entrance to the play-off semis, but not final.

solrac Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Also, Sheffield officially announced a couple of weeks ago that they would be in Premier League, not Elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldace Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I checked their site and it says "elite and National league season ticket" so you must be able to go to both   Not for £340.00 though. There is a separate season ticket to cover NL. The combined one is £398.00  http://www.bellevueaces.co/2016admissionpricing.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveLyric2 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Most 2015 season ticket prices were for 14,15 or 16 Senior meetings (depending on Elite Shield, Challenges but not play-offs!), so from BV's info it would seem there will be at least one possibly two more EL teams?!

Bryn Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Is that right? Didn't know it was confirmed Lakeside are not running. Â It's NOT! There's a Fans Forum this Thursday - folk should go to the club's official website for further info. Edited October 13, 2015 by Bryn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.V 72 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Thought I'd start this debate after getting Belle Vue's season ticket prices for 2016. Â In the price they guarantee 20 home meetings. Â Say we don't get in the Play offs in 2016, that would mean only 14 home meetings if it's an 8 team League again. Â I really can't see the club managing to fit in 6 additional meetings that are just Opens & not meaningful ones?? Â Does this mean 3 teams are moving up to guarantee a 20 meeting home season?? Â Who could this be - maybe Glasgow, Sheffield, Edinburgh, Rye House?? Some of these have been rumoured before. Â Could be a slightly more interesting AGM this weekend after all!!!! Just rang Belle vue they said that they have no idea how many Elite meetings there will be until after the AGM.They said that they wanted to run more meetings next year so the price of a season ticket will include open meetings and challenge matches etc.But not any national or international meetings.

Sounds like a complete cock up if u ask me. Â Why not wait another week til the AGM & then they will know how many league meetings we will have?? Â Season ticket has no incentive whatsoever so nobody will buy one?? Even if it's 20 league meetings, the price is the same as if ya pay on the door for 20 meetings so where's the reward for paying up front?? Â And if it's still say 14 or 16 league meetings, no way will anyone shell out to get an additional 4-6 crappy Open meetings!!! Â Someone with no brain whatsoever has been in charge of this!!!

KIRKYLANE Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 The new stadium needs to maximise the number of meetings in the season.
