Starman2006 2,354 Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) As already pointed out to you, of course good drainage saves meetings, otherwise why have any drainage in the first place. You do say some strange things fella.. Time will tell. Not with the amount of rain you get.. Why is starman so bitter against belle vues new stadium? Its almost as if he wants the place to fail. Hes just highlighting what a true donut he really is i suppose I would call NW42 's post smug, wouldn't you ? Or maybe you wouldn't... When was the last time you won a league title ? A new stadium will not gurrantee you any league titles. You had your chance last season but blew it.. Edited May 22, 2016 by Starman2006 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When was the last time you won a league title ? A new stadium will not gurrantee you any league titles. You had your chance last season but blew it.. Mmmm, a difficult one. What would I rather have, a few extra league titles or a 21st century stadium with a track that promises excellent racing, that ensures the future of the club, gives the opportunity to run a NL team, to develop new British talent with the prospect of more league titles and regular world class events like the SWC finals? Think I might go for the latter but then again I'm interested in not only Belle Vue but the future of the sport in the UK. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You always pop up on the belle vue thread slagging off belle vues stadium, looking for faults all the time. Why? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted May 22, 2016 If we keep a tally of rain related call offs it will give us an idea of how badly Belle Vue are effected. The current table is Kings Lynn 4 Wolves 2 Swindon 2 Coventry 1 Lakeside 1 Leicester 1 Poole 1 Belle Vue 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats 50% of their meetings! although statistically that is correct, Factually it was the fault of the track builders, so since the track has been given the green light the record for the EL is 0 rain off's 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A new facility like this is always going to be an asset when trying to attract new riders. If, they can also increase their home support too, I think riders want to race in front of packed crowds. And crucially, a new stadium means new sponsors, a heightened visibility in the business community, and control of and increased revenue streams. If Belle Vue can get the best out of their new business model, then they are going to have more money for rider payment etc. It's better than nowt I suppose 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Leslie 3,213 Posted May 23, 2016 Problem is it always seems to rain in Manchester. I believe its the weather in Manchester meself.. Still doesn't get away from the fact you get more rain than most, Time will tell. Not with the amount of rain you get.. Pretty sure on a National Statistics site of the wettest places in Britain, Cardiff was the wettest place. Manchester was quite a way down the list about level with Poole/Bournemouth. Might have to try to find it and make Starry look a chump again... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
