Hamish McRaker Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 The clock is ticking. Surely, there has to be a deadline? The league cannot just keep waiting to see if these two are actually going to run next season. Is there another club lined-up to make up the numbers? What can Chapman and the BSPA actually do?

Theboss Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 (edited) I can't imagine sky will wait around due to scheduling. Maybe BSPA can reduce TV payments to the 7 remaining clubs by 20% and use that money to fund the running of belle vue. That would make most financial sense and be best for sport as it is the national speedway stadium.

The BSPA have guaranteed that they'll run, in the case of Belle Vue they are to appoint a promoter to act on their behalf for up to three years, this has been agreed with the council and has probably progressed further than we know already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevebrum Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 More scare mongering. The BSPA have declared they will run. I'm sure they are aware of who is going to be involved at both clubs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Belle Vue have a promotion lines up, it's just tidying up loose ends. While the BSPA seem very confident that Leicester will run so don't see it being an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattK Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 Seven fans from the crowd will be selected at random to form a team. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouch Posted November 25, 2016 Report Share Posted November 25, 2016 After doing what they did the BSPA in crowd have to ensure Belle Vue's continuation. To oust a promotion without a cast iron guarantee of something else taking it's place is foolish to say the least. So in that respect I'm very apprehensive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only usually announce forthcoming fixtures a couple of weeks beforehand in any case. I actually think the Leicester situation could be far more complex with negotiations having to take place between an unhappy stadium owner , the BSPA and any prospective promotion. At least at Belle Vue you have a council that is committed to having a fully operational facility - even if the various activities within the arena are shared out amongst individual groups. Good luck to both Edited November 25, 2016 by Skidder1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make most financial sense and be best for sport as it is the national speedway stadium.What's this? Speedway promoters working collaboratively in their mutual interests?What's happened to Little Boy Blue's "sink or swim" outlook? Goodness me, what is the world coming to? What on earth has Sky scheduling got to do with it?? They only usually announce forthcoming fixtures a couple of weeks beforehand in any case. I actually think the Leicester situation could be far more complex with negotiations having to take place between an unhappy stadium owner , the BSPA and any prospective promotion. At least at Belle Vue you have a council that is committed to having a fully operational facility - even if the various activities within the arena are shared out amongst individual groups. Good luck to both I'm sure there's a pecking order. Once BV is secured, will Leicester become the priority with the 8-team threshold having been reached? Big meeting at belle vue stadium today with people. So hopefully news will be released soon. It is black Friday so maybe there is a sale on at belle vue. 50% off Maybes a Bogoff deal?
