racers and royals Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Good news that leszno are hosting the race- off and final on 7th/8th July 2017. can produce some great racing when prepared right. If anyone is thinking of going I would suggest getting the hotel booked quickly. maybe GB will get one of the two opening rounds.- Belle Vue ?

Ghostwalker Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Västervik will likely (?) have one of the semi finals, at least negotiations are ongoing . Förutom Västerviks succé med idel segrar i Allsvenskan i år, blev även lag-VM på Stena Arena lyckat. Det är oerhört nära att tävlingen återkommer till Västervik nästa år också. – Vi ligger i förhandlingar med BSI, det ser bra ut, säger Rune Nilsson. http://www.vt.se/sport/speedway/elitserien-har-sparat-ur-tyvarr-om4313349.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagpuss Posted November 9, 2016 Report Share Posted November 9, 2016 (edited) Not sure what choice they had with the uncertainty surrounding Belle Vue. Hopefully this is just a one off and it goes back Manchester for next year. Edited November 10, 2016 by Gordon Bennett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Well done 'chairman of the BSPA' -look after yourself. so much for the NSS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Smith Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Well done 'chairman of the BSPA' -look after yourself. so much for the NSS Yep, of course. It's Buster's and rest of the BSPA's fault Belle Vue went up the s#!+€r. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 I can't imagine that BSI would be that keen on the idea of Belle Vue, right now. Having had to stump up the extra cash that PR has told us about just to get the damn meetings to go ahead last time. Surely they will want to have things sorted out before going back just yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Science Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Not sure what choice they had with the uncertainty surrounding Belle Vue. Hopefully this is just a one off and it goes back Manchester for next year. So much uncertainty about Belle Vue that they have been awarded the Elite League Riders Championship in October.

Daniel Smith Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 So much uncertainty about Belle Vue that they have been awarded the Elite League Riders Championship in October. Having the Riders Championship in October is a clue. Plenty of time to move it elsewhere if needed 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 That should be a great meeting at BV, bit like the old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Easy peasy for Buster isn't it? He showed his true colours when he failed miserably to "promote" the NLRC this year. Good job for him that BSI will be handling all the promotion for him. He can just lie back and watch the money roll in. Disturbing though that Belle Vue has been cut out of the equation. Manchester City Council will have expected a national stadium to host big events, and that'll have been at the crux of them agreeing to fund that stadium. If the BSPA screw up now and don't find an alternative promoter for the Aces & Colts, I can see Manchester City Council converting that stadium into one that can suit another sport. Manchester is short of top quality Rugby and Hockey facilities, that stadium would be ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel Smith Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Will be a borefest again. Why not hold it on a decent track Can't disagree with that, Peterborough Showground for me. Next best track in British Speedway after Belle Vue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehone Posted November 10, 2016 Report Share Posted November 10, 2016 Disturbing though that Belle Vue has been cut out of the equation. even more disturbing that BSI had to pay rather a lot of money just 2 weeks or so before the SWC this year just to make sure it went ahead!! I'm thinking that might have a bearing on the decision 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I remember correctly BV or the Council have called their stadium National Speedway Stadium, it is not a The National Stadium for the country, so major events will be held elsewhere. At the moment the track is probably one of the best in the country where major events could be run providing all the other factors needed are in place and working correctly. I do hope that the club can sort out its future at this location because the World Cup showed how good the track was and that it can sort out the finances so that BV can be financially secure.

If I remember from a post from someone in the last week or so there was a link to some meeting of Man City Council where it showed the BSPA was involved in the decision to name the stadium the National Speedway Stadium.

uk_martin Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 And if the bills don't get paid the what it's called and who originally named it go for a ball of chalk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
