Noodles 1,337 Posted February 20, 2016 The one on BV website not correct now, no terracing on bend 1 & 2 full stop (apart from a small section on bend 1 for riders and mechanics etc), there is terracing on bend 3 and 4 for league meetings but not for world cup as temporary grandstand will be there. Thanks for this explanation Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R87 476 Posted February 20, 2016 totally understand this point, but footy clubs still create big Monday night crowds where ever they play, and surely the Manchester area alone could boost a british final night? There never really seemed a big effort by Wolves to publicise the British final if I'm honest Have to say I think the larger Belle Vue track will be much better suited. One of the reasons I disliked the meeting being at Wolves was being there after 11pm still waiting for a result. I want to be at home by that time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss 10,784 Posted February 20, 2016 Makes perfect sense to have the British Final on the same track as the SWC final and also on a big fast track in terms of trying to be successful in international events in general. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good practice for the Brits prior to the SWC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted February 21, 2016 Good practice for the Brits prior to the SWC. Too late, If you check out all the big billboard posters springing up all around Manchester, some will confirm that the SWC actually took place on 29th & 30th July last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The meeting being switched to Belle Vue, I can not see it making any difference to the time the meeting finishes. Is it not the GOD Sky TV that makes the meeting drag on, on and on. I will certainly be missing from BV that night (and I have no Sky TV). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is the track protected against this by buildings or the way the track is placed in the stadium (which direction the straights face) Genuine question. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted February 23, 2016 Should be fine as its positioned the same as the old place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIRKYLANE 537 Posted February 23, 2016 It is great to see billboards advertising the World Cup. When I started watching Belle Vue there were lots of Speedway bilboards around Manchester. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The track is same direction as old track but we had a massive dogs scoreboard blocking the sun which is positioned over on 1st bend. We do have the sports centre on the first bend but I don't think that will block out the sun as much as the old score board did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The track is protected by clouds. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stoke Potter 242 Posted February 24, 2016 Does anyone know if you can watch from the bends at the new track, or is it just on the straights? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Science 1,059 Posted February 24, 2016 Does anyone know if you can watch from the bends at the new track, or is it just on the straights?Think when the Elite League starts there will be a mad rush for the terraces with Elite League admission £20 or £23 for the new stand.
