colin wood Posted January 13, 2017 Report Share Posted January 13, 2017 Maybe its taking time to convince someone to take over an unfinished stadium.NSS No South Stand? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk_martin Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 I'll go back to the Dragon Den comparison. It's all about the "numbers". If the "numbers" given by BSPA / MCC justified the prospect of a profitable venture, you'd think that people would be dying to snap their hands off. Alternatively, if the "numbers" look dodgy, then any sensible business minded person would say "I'm out". So if that's the case then you have to hope that either you find someone who can turn things around and make a living out of something that has cost someone else dearly, OR you have to hope to find someone who has money to burn (or to "hide" from the tax man) and is willing to lose their money, for benefit of the riders and fans, most of whom will never thank them for what they do or the money that goes up in smoke. I wonder which of these scenarios is playing out at Belle Vue? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder which of these scenarios is playing out at Belle Vue? Looking at some of the suggested line ups for BV with Zagar and Nicholls being effectively replaced by two juniors, I would imagine more than circa £100k has been removed from the cost base so potentially that would make it cost effective?
