Phil The Ace Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 15 hours ago, THE DEAN MACHINE said: Imo putting one at belle vue is a case of thinking inside the box, this is not about the have or have nots about BV but Cardiff was something different, it was the whole fan experience and that’s what’s new is needed now, a new fan experience and you ain’t getting that at belle vue, it’s not for me But the GP should be about the racing. Not everything that goes on but that like Cardiff. makes me laugh, well angry actually that everyone says they go Cardiff just for the day part, maybe just speedway fans are all alcoholics 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil The Ace Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Also, if what I hear is correct belle Vue won’t be setting the ticket prices this time, WB will, so should be cheaper than SoN, won’t be Cardiff cheat (£20l but I’m guessing £50-70 grandstand, £40-£50 south, £30-£40 temp. Warner brothers paid us to host it apparently. But then they get all the ticket money. How it use to be under BSI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 They need to ensure that only the NSS track team prepare the track too... Not have any "influence" from "others" being brought to bear... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screm Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Normally use Premier Inn Denton when I go to Belle Vue, just had a look at a two night stay from Friday June 13th and Saturday June 14th. £310. 🤑 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that Manchester is quite expensive for any Saturday nite these days 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I agree, as a purist, it's about the racing and competition you can't deny that a weekend in Copenhagen is a far better prospect than a weekend somewhere near Vojens...

Bavarian Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 What nobody has mentioned yet, its only 10 GPs next year, this year we had 11. Is that the progress WBD has promised us when they took over to spread the speedway gospel across the globe? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinny Posted September 29 Report Share Posted September 29 Novelty of Cardiff has worn off for sure... you wont get a better day out at any other track in the UK than prime Cardiff. 40000 ish year on year. I am surprised they are still bothering to host it there now though with crowds of, apparently, less than 20,000. That said, would you sell out Belle Vue if you could get 20,000 in there? Not a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HGould Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 I think the one benefit from this addition of manchester is that it might at least provoke a bit of interest from the BBC in the days before and during the Event. They have become very Manchester centric and biased in their reporting since relocating to Salford. Hopefully for once Speedway can get some free publicity and a bit of a boost. Certainly the BSPL should be all over this possible angle / spike in awareness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
