ouch Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm pretty sure that an Aces v pirates Sky meeting cannot be called off due to the weather until Poole "win". Just ask Tony Steele. Remember him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hyderd Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I'm torn, as personally i have a hatred for Sky and how they have hardly gave BV any credit over the years much like they did for Ipswich when they were in the Elite lge. It is almost like if things don't include Poole,Coventry and Wolves then they ain't interested. So no shock Sky move Poole fixture forward as they suddenly want to know us now as we get the stadium. I'd love it if the match v Poole was cancelled and stop Sky coming up here, as personally i wish we could ban them from ever coming North of the M6 and showing the Aces at the new home, however at the same time i don't want the club to be hit by a call off. denying Sky would be denying speedway fans who rely on Sky for one reason or another, ie no transport, poor mobility etc etc. the chance to see British speedways brand new home, and Poole are obviously the team likely to increase viewing figures (god that last line hurt ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRKYLANE Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 There is no doubt that Sky have their favorites both team wise and in terms of individuals. However , it is ridiculous to suggest that BelleVue or any other team should be anti Sky re Tv coverage. Belle Vue as with other teams want to show off their goods and get the publicity. I am confident the new staium and track will be a superb advertisement for our Sport. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 The weathers as unpreditable as ever. People seem to be brainwashed into thinking we didn't have a temperate climate before global warming. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobMcCaffery Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) The weathers as unpreditable as ever. People seem to be brainwashed into thinking we didn't have a temperate climate before global warming. Yes, we've always had an Atlantic temperate climate, chiefly governed by the Gulf Stream, helping us to avoid the massive freezes seen say in north America at latitudes far further south than ours. What we were warned about was that the rise in AVERAGE temperatures would give us milder but far wetter winters with far greater extremes than before. At no time has it been said that the unpredictability of our weather would end. I would suggest that has been borne out by the lower occurrence of snow but with the far higher incidence of flooding. As usual, it's not as simplistic as many would wish it was. Sometimes it's better to stick to speedway. On that subject, at least we have a wonderful new track to look forward to at Belle Vue. I can't wait to see it, weather permitting. (Educated, not brainwashed.) Edited March 3, 2016 by rmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenway Bleachers Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Manc does get wet mind you......though those of us further North share that fate. Pity we don`t sell our greatest natural resource abroad ??? looking forward to seeing the Belle Vue Monarchs on Good friday....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILIPRISING Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 £25 on top of your £20 seat and nothing for vegetarians PROBABLY not something people will avail themselves of every week but a nice treat now and then, special occasions perhaps, in pleasant surroundings and no doubt there will be a veggie option available.

Trees Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 Go to speedway to eat other than hotdogs n burgers!! Nah 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Leslie Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 £25 on top of your £20 seat and nothing for vegetarians Obviously there will be options for vegetarians, but really we don't want to be encouraging vegetarians to Speedway anyway. They'll be wanting to replace engines with pushbikes and planting trees to hug on the centre green. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BluTiger Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 I am sure any vegi can take their own carrots to eat. A lot healthier than the nitrate laden processed 'meat' garbage that will no doubt be on offer, as long as the carrots are organic of course..

Baldyman Posted March 5, 2016 Report Share Posted March 5, 2016 (edited) So is normal admission price 20 quid? I haven't been to an elite league meeting for a few years now with ipswich in the premier. Just wondering if that's now the price at elite level.
