They will probably put it on BT sport 2 which you have to pay extra for same as champions league football.Cheaper than sky though.
-
Read it again and its what you implied.You can spin it anyway you want.Others would profit without putting anything in.
-
So according to Tsunami other promoters wanted the NSS built so they could get a share of the profits from big events.They just didn't want the risk of taking on the project themselves or running them at there own track.Let's give DG and CM credit for at least trying and getting the stadium built left to other promoters it would never have been built.
-
Can't believe this is still being discussed,its been done and dusted.Let's hope for some team news soon and whether the south stand is going to be completed.

Why would some clubs not sell British Final tickets? I had no idea this had happened.What reason could possibly justify this.p

Clerk Of The Course Report From The Opening Night At The Nss
colin wood replied to Blazeaway's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Surely MCC should take this up with the contractors and demand they pay up for cost of rectifying the problem.DG is no fool and its been well documented he had proof that bends three and four weren't built to spec.Think MCC are not handling this well at all. -
Phil I think he wants to know where you get this inside info from if you are just a regular fan.If the deal is signed for new ownership why not announce it officially and put an end to all this speculation.

Maybe its taking time to convince someone to take over an unfinished stadium.NSS No South Stand?

Belle Vue National Stadium
colin wood replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
So the council are going to pick the new promoters from a list of at least three interested parties.But what are they going to do about the stadium which isn't yet finished.You can hardly justify calling it the National Speedway Stadium with no terracing on the South Stand.With the little snippets of info we are now learning the council failed in building a 6000 capacity stadium ready for the start of last season.Gordon and Morton were left to pick up the tab for temp terracing which meant they had no chance of making a go of promoting the Aces properly.The whole thing has been a farce from day one and one would hope that lessons have been learned and the new promoters get a chance to promote what is still one of the biggest clubs in speedway.IMO not terracing the south stand would be a massive mistake and would affect crowd levels. -
Belle Vue National Stadium
colin wood replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I wouldn't have been happy taking over a stadium that wasn't built correctly (the third and fourth bends) and wasn't finished on time. The terracing on the south stand was only temporary and has since been removed.Surely its up to MCC to now make sure the build is finished to spec so that the new promoters don't encounter the same problems as DG and Mort did.p -
Belle Vue National Stadium
colin wood replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
I wouldn't call a track not being built to spec a snag.MCC and the contractors were responsible for delivering this on time. -
Leave Belle Vue for Poole no thanks .Why race on a notoriously dodgy track after racing on the best race track in the country? It would be like leaving Old Trafford for Bournemouth never gonna happen!

The Lady on the Till post lol

Stevebrum I think Fricke winning the world u 21 title surely gives him the edge over Masters.He is like you say very good in Poland and Sweden and regarding his UK average he missed a lot of home meetings for BV.Max may have done well at the world cup but for getting injured.
-
Don't think Masters is better than Fricke.But agree he his a very promising young rider.
-
Ouch I think some people on here don't get your sarcastic sense of humour!

Belle Vue Vs Wolves, Grand Final 2nd Leg, 5/10/16...
colin wood replied to Col's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Bwitcher if you didn't have a problem with the announcer personally why post he was trying to incite the crowd?He wasn't you would be daft to think he was. -

Got to laugh at the announcer was enticing the crowd bit.It was done very much tounge in cheek how anyone can think differently needs to lighten up it was all part of a great speedway meeting. -

Wolverhampton V Poole: El Play-off Semi-final 2nd Leg

We were all betting Tungate would ride in the play off final before Pederson got his rather unfortunate injury. -

Belle Vue V Lakeside 2nd Leg September 26
colin wood replied to Vincent Vega's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
There isn't another promotion in the country that could persuade their local council to build a project like the NSS.Some are more bothered about winning at all cost a trophy which after what's gone on recently is tarnished. -
Belle Vue V Lakeside 2nd Leg September 26
colin wood replied to Vincent Vega's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Never been a fan of the play offs.A team which tops the league should be champions.It really does seem like a separate cup competition at the end of the season to me.The Swedish play off system seems silly and I don't think they will keep it.If you have to dream up gimmicks to try to make things more exciting then it loses credibility imo
