Notenoughnerve Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Is there only me who doesn't see where the capacity will come from? No terracing at one end, down the back straight looking tiny. No way can I see it holding even close to 6000 unless something fairly spectacular is happening at the 'buikding site end' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KIRKYLANE Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Last year I went to Riga for the SGP qualifier. The track was the same size as the new Belle Vue but the straights and bends were narrower than Belle Vue. It was difficult to tell about the banking ,,, but if there was any it was slight. The racing was good and plenty of passing at Riga, That tends to suggest that Belle Vue will be much better with the wider straights and bends plus the banking !!!!! I am sure that the new track will be a testimony to the old Hyde Road track Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I remember it was said the new BV track would incorporate some Hyde Road features, but Chris Morton and the BV boss have looked closelyat Torun as well. They obviously want the new BV to be a racers track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acef Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Make the most of it the sleeping giant has just started to wake up. There are periods over time where clubs are successful and then periods where it falls away. When I hear people talk about BV being 'speedway', basically the name everyone knows, the club that non speedway fans can relate to, I always think of Liverpool FC. I'm not taking anything away from a clubs history, but quite honestly it doesn't matter in the present, in the here and now. The reality is that BVs success was a long time ago now, we have been poorly promoted and poorly operated in the years since. It's ironic, that, in a time where speedway is probably at its lowest point, the club the led the sport during its prominence is going to be the one that rescues it. It is indeed the awakening of a sleeping giant. I've just got back from a visit to the stadium and it absolutely blows me away. Every time I've been. What has been achieved is a huge testament to the club and the people that operate it. We are now the professional example that some others should be looking at. If the training schools etc kick off, this stadium could be what saves British Speedway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starman2006 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Make the most of it the sleeping giant has just started to wake up. Don't make me laugh. It won't change your drab weather and once the anti climax has passed you will go back to crowds the size of what we got for the Darcy function and all our other functions. Anyway, best of luck with your campaign this year. Runners up beckons... Edited February 22, 2016 by Starman2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 thats very patronising to supporters of other speedway teams starman,think most poole supporters would be full of admiration for the bv promotion for the amount of work its taken to get this far.(and dont forget they will have their own stadium,and we rent and have the same landlord as swindon speedway nuff said!! also dont forget poole town fc are angling for a return to wimborne rd,dont think it will happen personally,but if it did it would be dogs and football only at the stadium.be a bit more humble mate) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therefused Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 well starmans a bit of prick so i would just ignore his ignorant and snide comments anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 LOL @Statman. I sincerely hope Poole continue their success as speedway needs all the support it can get, but don't kid yourself about Belle Vue. They will make sure they bring the crowds back over the next few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
