Another thing about the trophy presentation, it took that long to get the riders back onto the centre green that their was only a couple of dozen people left in the grandstand. It's not only belle Vue that it happens it's most places, the presentation should take part immediately after the race, not 10 minutes after

Maybe good news the council owns it, as if as the poster says the football club may go pop . But the said person does talk a lot of hot hair at times 😜

It's going to take some outside of the box thinking

Can’t believe that someone who seems to trawl through posts on this forum looking to pick a fight is telling someone else to calm down 😂😂

I think its somewhat rich of you to criticise the footballs ‘dismal performances’ when you’ve been involved in season after season of abject failure with Berwick Bandits.

The council own it, leased to the football club.

That’s always going to be the problem. There are not enough suitable standard riders to fill all team spaces with doubling up ditched. it would need to be 5 or 6 man teams to get anywhere near close enough for a suitable standard of rider to fill all teams.

Can anyone remember back to Skegness and the timescales for when they got the go ahead and team etc?

Belle vue has been like that since I can remember. So 40 years of crap presentation, crap food, crap drinks ( if there’s any left). Luckily the NSS has saved them in the entertainment department otherwise I’d have stopped going long ago.

About 12 days since it was announced, yippee we have a 6th track 😀 The season has officially started, proper fixtures start next week, but still no team members announced no team name, no names of who is running the club 😜 so I presume that because of these missing items no publicity can be done 🤔. Shambles

Can I ask who ultimately owns the stadium is the football or council ?

Only just read last weeks copy of the Speedway Star and he does s two page spread on Northampton... Mark Lemon is quoted as saying that they needed a sixth team for the "integrity and credibility" of the sport... I do hope when he used those words, he managed to do it with a straight face... Fair play if he did....

And a budget travel lodge room to carry out the post tombola interview

To be fair... Their efforts are similar to the other five from what I have heard or read...

At last!!!! Someone who can market an event.. Give Linda a bell and she if she wants to get involved... You'll need her official paper bag for the tombola tickets...

Don’t mention it, it’s not allowed on here

The silence is stunning.

In wetherspoons lunchtime then, 5 pints for a tenner.....

Maybe the financial side came into also, competing in the GPs requires a big budget , yes maybe he has some financial backing but weighing up where he might come in the rankings it did not make sense.

Oh my,someone DOES need to calm down, another one that accepts and makes excuses for mediocrity and poor practices and wonders why we are where we are and because you obviously need a little help the post I made was sarcasm

Race card:

Exactly.... The other night at the PCMT was probably the most Aces fans attendance that they will have all year, except for the play offs... No "first night back" feel about the meeting at all, no promotion of their first actual team meeting either... They do a 50/50 draw that got the winner 400+ quid... I would have raffled off a season ticket... I reckon most Aces fans there in the crowd (1300?) would have spent a fiver... Then do another at the first couple of actual meetings... Or do something like a £500 holiday voucher.. Something is needed on the nights to engage the crowd, with the racing just being part of it... And, do it right, and you can make a fair few quid...

And they were correct. At the time of your whinging that no promoting was going on, no deal was struck! So you were whinging for the sake of it. You’re like an old bloody woman with your constant bleating! Ok, now a deal has been done questions can be asked, but if you take the time to read the press release in the Speedway Star, it’s quite obviously a huge rush job to get everything up and running in time for tapes up. There’s an awful lot to do, and very little time to do it but things ARE going on in the background. You were exactly the same on the Ipswich stuff. Demanding updates and answers on a regular basis, until Richard Coleman explained fully why those updates weren’t forthcoming much to his own frustrations. I bet you were one of those kids that hunted around the house for Christmas presents because you couldn’t wait until the big day to see what you’d actually got 🙄 Calm down ffs.

It shouldn't (unless they go bust) tho maybe give speedway a greater say in stadium affairs. The footy club's dismal performances since they dropped down the pyramid certainly give the impression of iffy administration.
