topaz325 Posted August 30, 2019 Report Share Posted August 30, 2019 I visited Belle vue recently and there is a full page in the programme of what is allowed at the meeting mostly to do with Health and safety but a slight overkill on no food or drink allowed in the stadium. This I presume even means water, so buy your water at the bar for £1.90 a bottle. The stadium is a complete no smoking area including e cigarettes , which is nice. Cannot see a ban on air horns but trumpets, vuvuzelas, flags, scooters, frisbees , flares skateboards, etc etc are not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bomber is there, he would steal it, and see if it goes any quicker than his bikes! Of course, it might take him a time to get the setup right... I'll get me coat...

teaboy279 Posted August 31, 2019 Report Share Posted August 31, 2019 You cant go to a motorsport venue and worry about noise.. We are unlucky at Kent and cant have them, but always tend to use em for away matches. Just adds that atmosphere. Only protocol I follow is to aim the horn upwards so its not going straight into someone's ear.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longsufferingpotter Posted September 2, 2019 Report Share Posted September 2, 2019 I remember getting through three air horn cannisters at the Wolves - Potters meeting at Monmore Green in 81. No one complained, in fact I was actively encouraged by the large Potters following that day. I recall that the racing was pretty dire, but controversial refereeing decisions and the closeness of the score kept everyone captivated. Mike Sampson (and I think Rob Lightfoot) came home for a 5 - 1 in heat 13 ahead of Neil Evitts to win the match for the Potters 40 - 38. Happy days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
