MrMungo 708 Posted August 19, 2016 Is Chapman the new track man at Belle Vue? Buster could have got that raceable! Seen him to do it numerous times before 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A ORLOV 8,628 Posted August 19, 2016 I can imagine there might be a few choice comments from Jason. Hell of a long way to go for this result. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted August 19, 2016 So whose fault will it be this time? They let the vintage races go out on the track as it was.Then decided to blade it about 7.50pm ish..Why not blade it at 6.30?.Seems mad 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,424 Posted August 19, 2016 (edited) So whose fault will it be this time?Clearly the Belle Vue promotion. They had three choices. Two were correct, one was wrong. Call off early? Correct call. Keep it on but start work on the track at 4.30? Correct call. Start blading the track at 8 pm? Bad bad call and desperation. Meeting postponed.

Red Robin 200 Posted August 19, 2016 I can imagine there might be a few choice comments from Jason. Hell of a long way to go for this result. I feel mad for Jason and all the team, what a late time to decide to blade the track and keep people stood waiting inside , SHOCKING!!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
horneymikh 86 Posted August 19, 2016 Belle vue speedway absolute joke, no chance that meeting was going to be on but still let folk in and not give a refund at the end! Avoid folks...avoid avoid avoid!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris Brown 542 Posted August 19, 2016 Are the promotion taking responsibility this time or blaming someone elsE ? Maybe the contractors, the fans, Colin Meredith ? You cab be sure it will not be their fault And still the sport contributes to its own decline I was planning my first EL meeting since 2007 tonight but at least Coventry had the decency to call it off this morning Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hagonshocker 1,956 Posted August 19, 2016 Morton and Pairman fortunate enough to have a lovely spanking new stadium perfect shape of a track and they still cock it up...useless , you couldn't make it up 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted August 19, 2016 A blade should be nowhere near a track at that time... (Unless you've had a downpour after 6.30pm) Should have been on the track as soon as the rain stopped... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dump that clutch 630 Posted August 19, 2016 shoddy & Inept decisions all round here, why oh why do British speedway do their best to totally pi$$ supporters off... If reports are true BV took an age to blade the track when they did, they should be fined. they should have started on the track ASAP... it's not rocket science is it, bloody amateurs.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps they thought the vintage? Bikes would clear a line or two.... Wtf has Colin Meredith got to do with the price of fish? Whatever Belle Vue do it will never be as bad as that clown who ran oxford into the ground, waggy? Who's the trackman now? If it not CM...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,281 Posted August 19, 2016 I saw a vid on Facebook at 7.40pm of one of the vintage races.The track was wet but no standing water and the old chaps on their Japs etc rode on it.Then when they had finnihsed,they decided to blade it at about 7.50 pm. What a cock up 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't bring Poole into this mess. Feel desperately sorry for the travelling fans. A hell of a way to go. To answer another current thread, yes Belle Vue DO NEED TRACK COVERS. It would have saved this meeting. Edited August 19, 2016 by Steve Shovlar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shale Searcher 1,264 Posted August 19, 2016 Judging by the chapmanesque fiasco it must be Chapman but that's just a guess. Who was driving the blade? Surely it would have been Chapman in that case?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
