Gunner85 603 Posted October 22, 2017 Whatever happens I am sure that Adrian and Mark will have 7 racers in the side that will entertain us at the best track in Britain 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghosty 496 Posted October 28, 2017 1. Cook 2. Hougaard 3. Holder/Woffinden 4. Tungate 5. Zagar/Fricke 6. Bewley 7. Smith I would think the ONLY certainty of a 2018 team place is the very talented & popular Dan Bewley............ the rest of the team will be determined by averages & cost, one thing for sure, most riders would love to have Belle Vue as their home race track. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PHILIPRISING 7,298 Posted October 31, 2017 HEARD a rumour that the Council (MCC) are going to fund covers fort the track in 2018. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil The Ace 2,847 Posted October 31, 2017 HEARD a rumour that the Council (MCC) are going to fund covers fort the track in 2018. Yes. Eddie Smith said so at the maugers ball. He is going to the council for more money to improve facilities and track covers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STEVEHOLS54 380 Posted October 31, 2017 Yes. Eddie Smith said so at the maugers ball. He is going to the council for more money to improve facilities and track covers Hope you guys are successful in getting them. I think UK Summers seem to be getting more unpredictable with maybe more rain when we should be basking in the Sun. Track covers are a great idea and I am sure they would reduce the amount of meetings lost and also importantly protect the tracks from getting too wet to the degree it affects good racing. Rain is the scourge of our sport and with so many more meetings than say the Poles etc then clubs need to protect their tracks where possible so they don't end up with end of season and non race night replacements. Good luck to BV is their quest to get some reasonable funding for them. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck to BV is their quest to get some reasonable funding for them. Great idea. To go on from that point all Extraliga clubs must have covers by 2020 excluding Torun(roof) and Wroclaw because they already have them. Once again a great idea. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil The Ace 2,847 Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Well I'm hearing its going to be a 41 point limit so yet again lowering the standard. This time by quite alot. This team ive perdicted for us shows it. Bjerre Cook Worrall Tungate Bewley Perks Smith/bickley That fits just under the 41 limit therefor swapping fricke for perks 😮😮 Will the admission reflect this Edited November 1, 2017 by Phil The Ace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedy bill 154 Posted November 1, 2017 Belle Vue averages for current team is 49 just who are they going to drop to get down to 41 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aces51 2,777 Posted November 1, 2017 The total for the present team is 43.98 not 49. Clubs are presently losing money and if there is no TV cash it will be even worse, so it seems unlikely there will be any reduction in the admission charges next year if we want the club to survive. I'm more than happy to pay what they charge for the quality of racing we see at the NSS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted November 1, 2017 Well I'm hearing its going to be a 41 point limit so yet again lowering the standard. This time by quite alot. This team ive perdicted for us shows it. Last year they effectively dropped from 42 pts to 35iah for team building so Im not sure why you are saying they dropped quite a lot this year with a 1 point reduction? Which actually is needed if the league is expanding to 10-12 teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
