mdmc82 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) A lot of talk at Brandon today about the SCB doing an investigation in to what happened and the track not being in use for 4 weeks whilst they start again relaying it. Big blow for Belle Vue if true. Edited March 20, 2016 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 It's been on the local ITV news that the meeting will be re run with tickets valid for the re run or refunds for those that cannot make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 It's been on the local ITV news that the meeting will be re run with tickets valid for the re run or refunds for those that cannot make it. Really? In which year would that be then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beggars belief, do BV think the fans are stupid enough to go back and witness more garbage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a shame the meeting couldn't get going last night.I would imagine many fans wanting refunds as a lot of those there last night would purely be there as it was a big start of a new era for Belle Vue speedway,and they had a class field to go with it.Depending on when the meeting is restaged will the GP boys be there and it possibly wont be the opening meeting.This would I'm sure have a big impact on the crowd. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr8scot Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 It was It was I guess you think you're funny. I guess you think you're funny twice. Your response was totally unnecessary as you know exactly what I meant ie postponed PRIOR to Saturday. I can't add much more to the debate that hasn't already been said but IMO the track should've been the first priority. Speedway fans will put up with a half built stadium but a speedway meeting cannot go ahead without a well laid, tried and tested track For the record, I do think the stadium is excellent and once they get their priorities right, it will be superb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I think the vast majority there last night were locals who will re use their tickets for the re run or an alternative fixture. Those from further afield will probably want a refund due to all the ancillary costs incurred. I myself no longer travel any great distance to watch the sport after years of travelling the UK and Europe as it not worth it. Seeing modern day riders going through the motions or not even bothering if rain is in the air has seen to that. Still there's two new DVDs coming out featuring Hyde Road and Mort so they will keep me entertained without the worry of another superstar no show. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big blow for Belle Vue if true. Why is it a blow. Its the sensible thing to do, yesterday was a big blow, delaying 2 meetings at the start of the season isnt a problem at all. Another farce like last night would be a disaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) It was stated by Belle Vue that the meeting was a sell out, however articles state around 5000 were in attendance. I thought it was meant to hold a larger amount esp with world cup being staged there? How many can the stadium hold?

So it was a sell out as they already knew they'd be holding the opening meeting twice 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aces51 Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 I've understood the current capacity to be 6,000,the first I heard of there being a sell out of 5,000 yesterday came from the Lord Mayor in his speech at the official opening. There will be additional temporary seating on the 3rd and 4th bends for the World Cup which increases the capacity to about 10,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 So Tai thinks it should have been called off on Thursday. Interesting! It should have been called off on Wednesday, when the Belle Vue promotion were told to cancel the opening, although they thought otherwise. Must cast a doubt on big events at Belle Vue, until they have proved they can be trusted to get the job done properly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 A long way for me to go on the 30th for a cancelled meeting. Is The Poole meeting on Sky going ahead or have they pulled the plug already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is The Poole meeting on Sky going ahead or have they pulled the plug already? It wont be run Steve, can't see it, just too risky. I think our meeting on 8th april v Leicester likley to be first meeting. A long way for me to go on the 30th for a cancelled meeting.
