We could have it rent free untill work had finished. Then we had to start paying rent which we never did Thanks for that, Phil The Ace. I think that this is going to get a little messy and all this shenanigans will surely lower the reputation of speedway even further than it's current lowly position! I have a feeling that any day now, it will be announced that some great saviour on a white charger is about to ride in and save the day and we will all be expected to be tremendously grateful for this selfless act. Something fishy here, methinks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Central Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 According to the MEN things are worse than we thought. Yesterday they were talking about a £7 million stadium. Today it is £8 million. Is financial incompetence catching? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 I do understand that while the stadium has terrific facilities that can be used for weddings, conferences, etc, its location is not exactly a prime one and they have found it hard to attract such events.WHAT?! People don't want to get married in a speedway stadium? You'll be telling member that all them pop groups rather than playing on the centre (with the sound down - as no loud noises like fireworks allowed) are choosing to play in indoor arenas too. I hate saying it but told you so. The whole thing has been a farce from start to end! As for giving them credit for building it etc. Are you kidding? I could build an £7m stadium with other people's money too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Voice Of Reason Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 My point is: A top rider rides in Poland. Flies into Manchester airport, Rides at Belle Vue. Flies back. This guy ain't driving down South. Have you ever been in an UBER Cab??!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could build an £7m stadium with other people's money too! Somerset have weddings at the Oak Tree. Isle of Wight have arranged a firework display and a pop concert at Smallbrook (and that's in November only). Its possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Shovlar Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 The Speedway Family could help Mort and David Gordon with their predicament, if the will was there! Help another promotion who didn't even make a token repayment gesture to the council? Why should they? Clearly the bspa were well aware of the dire situation Belle Vue were in and had the sense to talk to the council. It doesn't matter who takes over as long as they are capable of fulfilling their obligations to the leage and to the council. The idea of weddings/business meetings rental etc is a dead one. And as for the pitch in the middle there must be hundreds of pitches in Manchester for use for virtually nothing. Better to put a mini speedway track in the middlevand charge for lessons. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither are in Manchester with all the alternatives available.It might work out in the country or on a small island,but Manchester is a big city with plenty of other(better) places i'd guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And those are your examples of how to pay for a multi-million pound stadium in Gorton. It's business 'acumen' like that, that has GOT them into this mess.

Not sure that our Elf and Safety and Noise Abatement chums would be too enthusiastic about this idea, Somehow, the City of Manchester Football Academy seems to have a certain credibility.

Little Thumper Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 Interesting comment re "our partnership with the BSPA".... A collective thing now is it? I would imagine that BSPA will have to underwrite the agreement between the new promoters and City of Manchester. I still can't see how this is going to become financially viable.

Haza Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 (edited) The Speedway Family could help Mort and David Gordon with their predicament, if the will was there! well clearly there isn't and really why on earth should there be ? If that's was the case let's help Plymouth as well and other promotions over the years why didn't we help Birmingham when they quit the EL - Mildenhall Boston the list is endless - if BV was in such a dire situation why didn't they ditch Zagar ? as he was clearly a drain on none existent finance . Morton and Gordon knew the situation but buried there heads in the sand . Yes they delivered a great track and stadium but at what cost to them and how can anyone make money or even break even at BV thanks to these two.

Phil The Ace Posted November 4, 2016 Report Share Posted November 4, 2016 https://companycheck.co.uk/company/07608471/B-V-ARENA-LIMITED/companies-house-data HELP, I don't understand this. How can David gordon and Chris Morton be in so much debt yet George Carswell is in the black by 300k. All in the same company. Yes George may have the rider assets but they don't add up to 300k surely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morton and Gordon haven't paid a penny for the stadium. So god only knows how they deserve any credit for scamming the tax payers of Manchester!

Col Posted November 5, 2016 Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Cook, Fricke, both Worralls, Jacobs, Bewley, Williamson? If that team fits I'd be surprised. Would you really want Jacobs if he is not at reserve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
