KIRKYLANE Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 COPIED FROM OFFICIAL WEB SITE Belle Vue speedway are delighted to announce the introduction of post meeting Press Conferences for our fans. After every home meeting, all fans will be invited to join the Press Conference in the Peter Craven suite. These will commence approximately 10 minutes after the close of meeting parade. This is to allow fans from South Stand to make their way around to the Peter Craven suite. The Conference will be attended by Mark Lemon - Team Manager, selected Belle Vue riders and the Promoters of Belle Vue speedway. There will be several interviews and the opportunity for fans to ask questions in a Q & A session. There will also be photo/autograph opportunities with the riders.The Peter Craven suite has a set safety capacity, so please arrive as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Tuesday 5th July 2016 Excellent idea from the management 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABS Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 A very good idea - keeps up the interest and the bar receipts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Also worth mentioning that Belle Vue had a nice positive piece on BBC's North West tonight yesterday. These press conferences are just another aspect of the excellent PR set up in place at the NSS. Well done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Great idea in principle but most fans after heat 15 just want to get home 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple.H. Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) The forward thinking Nigel Wagstaff was doing this at Oxford years ago. So many supporters and fellow promoters used to slag off his ideas. I find it strange that so many have been adopted.

Tuesday 5th July 2016 Excellent idea from the management Already been experimented with at Poole quite a few years ago, and it didn't take off so it was scraped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Apparently The Aces first tried this in 1928 and many tracks have copied it with varying degrees of success since then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, thats why no EL clubs do it. It didn't work so it was scraped. Lets see how long its lasts at BV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Already been experimented with at Poole quite a few years ago, and it didn't take off so it was scraped Well maybe it'll work at Belle Vue and they won't scrape it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle Vue are to be congratulated, let's see if it works. Glasgow have a meet n greet in the bar with all the riders at every home meeting. People seem to like it. Plus it's a Friday night and it's Mark Lemon, as opposed to A lemon, doing the talking. So good luck to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Science Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Think Joe Screen, Carl Stonehewer, Sean Wilson and Steve Johnston used to a regular post match forum in the bar after every meeting but I believe they were unoficial 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrag Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Leicester do a post meeting conference in front of the main stand every week with Norrie and a Leicester rider if a loss and normally the whole team if a win. They did used to get the opposing manager or rider but some wont do it I think this year Jon Cook and Rob Lyons are the only ones who have agreed to it.

Aces51 Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Really, what do you think you are something special. Mark may words you wont see it again after this season.. I just wish the Belle Vue management had the wisdom to appoint Starman as a special consultant. So far he has given invaluable advice on the construction of the track, the supervisory role Colin Meredith should have played, the pointless purchase of track covers and now the futile pr of after meeting press conferences. No wonder Poole are so successful when Matt has such a valuable advisor to guide his every move. Edited July 5, 2016 by Aces51 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, as it is Speedway obviously, he could 'guest' at other venues should a fan of another track not be able to attend...? His feedback and input could be invaluable to the incumbent promotional team I am sure.....! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damosuzuki Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 The thing is, sensible Poole fans realise a healthy Belle Vue challenging are an assett to the league and to Poole. I get the feeling some people would be happy to win the league every year against a bunch of part timers on the brink of bankrupcy. The more forward thinking, professional clubs the better.
