Belle Vue 2016


Recommended Posts

I'd read that too, but they looked two pretty substantial structures, capable of holding several hundred people. A little o.t.t for a handful of riders to view from.

 

 

That was my thought too. I was told few weeks ago there would be a small terrace there for riders and officials but it is lot bigger then I expected so maybe its changed? It has its own dedicated turnstile and toilets but doesn't seem to be any access to grandstand or back straight so you are trapped in that small area from what we can make out.

Don't think that will cut much ice with those who have paid £20 / £25 or £65 for opening night tickets

 

There is always a demand for the "opening night" of most things..... its like "something special"

That's what took me and the wife down to Bristol speedway back in 1977, when Bristol was making a comeback.

The track was lousy, therefore racing was not too good either, even though the star riders were there. That's one of the reason why I have not got tickets for the BV opening.

Having said that, the atmosphere is going to be really good, I'm sure, and it is for the Peter Craven Memorial Trophy - which would be really something to win. Great memories of a great rider.

i believe you can transfer from bends 1 and 2 onto the back straight.

The Peter Craven Memorial meeting to open the new stadium will be my first visit to Belle Vue, the city of Manchester for a while & a speedway meeting in the UK for quite awhile. Where is it going to be best to park?

The school next door or showcase cinema across the road.

Wtf does that mean?

 

I suppose it's possible it might not be top class speedway?

 

Even the footy world cup final isn't guaranteed to be top class football is it ffs?

 

If you've got a ticket I'm sure there'll be a healthy black market outside so you'll get something back if you are that worried about it 'cutting ice'. Even blossoms tickets were selling at a premium outside the Albert hall a couple of weeks ago and they are still less famous than Belle Vue Speedway (not for much longer though).

'To cut no ice'

meaning: To fail to impress or influence someone

or To fail to make an impression

I seriously blame the riders. Sell put crowd and we weren't that bothered what the racing was like.

Follow each other round, we wouldn't have minded.. But a good news story has been turned into a bad news one.

Agree mate. That's riders today though.

 

It should've been called off a couple of days ago by the Promotion as you know what you'll get from the riders nowadays. Nothing.
