In fairness he didn't say you wouldn't miss him or that you weren't weaker without him just that you had covered well for him as in you have still won meetings.

Bewley has missed home meetings v Wolves and Somerset R/R v Wolves got 1 point............Bewley got 8+2 earlier in the season R/R v Somerset got 8 points.....Bewley got 14+2 earlier in the season They face Kings Lynn in the semis Home v Kings Lynn , Bewley has scored 8 and 12 Away at Kings Lynn , Bewley has scored 11+2 and 9 + 2 At home Bewley averages 9.24 the second best in the team Even by your standards of trolling to say Belle Vue are covering Bewley is quite simply miles from the truth Quite a few of those meetings you have selected were when he was at reserve so had more rides and easier rides he scored 8 Kings Lynn last time and since the Wolves meeting Tungate can take a r/r ride so that is a bonus. I am not for one second suggesting that they aren't weaker without him especially at home but with Tungate able to take a extra ride it does make it a little better.

acef Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Bewley is a huge loss to BV. I'm just glad the club got an extra meeting which will be packed to the rafters. That's what counts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the Belle Vue management doing in advertising locally? The Manchester conurbation is massive so really they should be able to fill the place. I always can never understand why a club in a huge city gets the same size crowd or less than Somerset, for example, with a couple of small towns and flood plains nearby.

That's about 1700. It's not dismal by any stretch on a race night that doesn't suit us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local advertisement is irrelevant in the digital age. Social media is massive and the club are all over that. Speedway just doesn't have a market place and even less so on a Wednesday. Had that meeting been a Friday and not on the TV we'd have broke 2k easily and that is far from a shabby crowd. Dont be fooled by the stadium its massive and can look empty when there is a crowd much the same as many other tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah right, well it's a fact but, for me, the Aces spent too long in the wilderness (dog track) and lost all the people who would go along occasionally but always turn up for the attractive fixtures, those people have drifted off to do other things with their spare cash. Success will help but it will take years to replace those who were lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading the Belle Vue fans Facebook page plenty of us missed it. If the crowd was 1700 it much more than we usually get on the graveyard Monday nights. Correct. It was also on TV. 1700 under those types of circumstances is a very decent turnout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crowd at Poole on Wednesday was much much bigger than the crowd at Belle Vue on BT. Last week you said the meeting against Wolves would be the smallest crowd of the season. You were wrong, as crowd was very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All TV meetings should be £10. The general pricing structure is okay imo, there are cheaper standing areas which naturally fill before the grandstand. The prices are pretty competitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
