The City of Manchester quite clearly offers more than Ipswich. :rofl:

 

 

It doesn't offer a British Speedway Final 26/09/2020 ;)

Have I missed something here....but why have a National Stadium and not have the National Championship there! But the clowns that so called ‘run’ the sport arrange to hold it a rubbish track in the middle of nowhere? Surely this is a joke! 

Ever thought having twice the capacity than National Stadium having it at Ipswich may give more people a fair chance of going.

Isn't the name nothing more than a council vanity condition......

Four main reasons I would think

1. Manchester is in varying degrees of lockdown week to week so planning an event there at the moment is very risky and has no guarantee it will happen. 

2. Ipswich has around two thirds more capacity than the NSS so when percentage restrictions are applied you can still get a reasonable (and more importantly viable), crowd in..

3. With Kings Lynn, Peterborough and Mildenhall all 'local' you have four lots of Speedway starved fanbases to pull from, which (with a good few from around other parts attending) hopefully will ensure all tickets available will be sold..

And 4. Ipswich might be 'in the middle of nowhere' but does traditionally at Easter get one of the largest crowds (if not THE largest single crowd), of the season at any track, so obviously have a strong underlying fanbase who show they will attend on one off occasions..

Put it all together and I would think the size of the venue, the amount of awareness of Speedway that exists in that geographical area, and the fairly low impact of Covid 19 to that part of the country, ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to planning and putting on an event that needs a crowd to be a financially viable...

Finally a sensible voice on here.

They making the final of that 16 laps as well so the Ipswich fans can count a lap on each finger?

 

You've got the wrong county! That's Norfolk with the extra digits. If you want to use tired, old, unoriginal cliches about Suffolk people you need to post about tractors and farmyard animals.

magnificent effort by Belle Vue to put on a top level match in September ...even if it is behind closed doors.

I will  be getting my online ticket and look forward to this match

A massive thank you to Adrian and Mark plus all others that are involved.

I would have been watching it but unfortunately work Thursday evenings.Good value i think for £10,no petrol cost,food etc and watch it from the comfort of your own home.You can even have a few beers knowing your not driving,although i am that evening for work:(

I believe there is real potential for streaming matches pay per view.  As an ex Oldhamer who watched the Aces in the glory years at Hyde Road, now living in London who could only see them at Arena Essex and Rye House it’s great to be able to watch them live at the wonderful NSS all for a tenner.

Well done Adrian

When you say superb, I think you mean unbeatable.

No he wasn`t unbeatable.   He was nearly unbeatable  He was beaten into third place by Magnus Zetterstrom the Poole rider. 

Leigh Adams beat him the same year plus many many more.
