Steve Shovlar Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Well here we go. The clash of the titans and a great way to finally get racing underway at The National Stadium. I should imagine the stadium full signs will be put out and with Sky in attendance, it should be a thriller for everyone. Now that Belle Vue have had an extra month to sort out a bend, more than enough time, lets just hope the weather is set fair for travelling fans and those sitting in their armchairs. A hard one to predict but I think Pirates are more than capable of coming away with a victory. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainB Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I think it will be postponed 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy robin Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 A big Belle Vue win hopefully but with it being a new track there will be no home advantage for the Aces. Lucky Poole again😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny the spud Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 Friend of mine looked in today …. Diggers everywhere. Hope it's on, normally i'd have booked a flight to the UK to see this but not going to take the risk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 They said they want to run a meeting before this. Now that the Colts v Storm is postponed I guess this will be now too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grachan Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 How come a month ago the whole track was good apart from bends 3 and 4 that needed a bit more time? Yet it still isn't ready? I don't get it. Certainly justifies the riders not racing before. So who said NL riders would have ridden? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.V 72 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I have a feeling that they may postpone this one.Give the track a little more time,no preasure of it being on sky, leaving the opening meeting for bank holiday monday which has more chance of pulling in a very large crowd.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 They can put down a complete track in Cardiff in approximately 4 days. They cant put down a bend at Belle Vue in 4 weeks? What a complete joke if true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BWitcher Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 They seem to make it up as they go along. They said it was all being dug up and starting again on bends 3 and 4... if you are 'starting again' how can you find 'further defects'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB252 Posted April 21, 2016 Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 I have a feeling that they may postpone this one. They have. It's on the Vue website. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a complete joke if true. Mate John put down the present track in a week. We finished on the Wednesday everything was dismantled and new track laid posted chicken wired and kickboarded in a week, we rode the following Wednesday. If the above it true then clearly they are as incompetent as they sound. And the council want kicking for not allowing somebody ie track curator to oversee the project.

Steve Shovlar Posted April 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2016 During the course of the remedial works being carried out by the stadium contractors to Turns Three and Four, further defects have been exposed which require further attention and this has extended the work program. Belle Vue Speedway have therefore confirmed that their National League fixture against Coventry, which they were hoping to stage on Sunday April 24th, together with the Elite League meeting Belle Vue v Poole scheduled for Wednesday 27th April will not take place. These meeting will be resheduled. Further details will follow. Thursday 21st April 2016 What an utter joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
