mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) A lot of talk at Brandon today about the SCB doing an investigation in to what happened and the track not being in use for 4 weeks whilst they start again relaying it.

ouch 1,202 Posted March 20, 2016 It's been on the local ITV news that the meeting will be re run with tickets valid for the re run or refunds for those that cannot make it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ron 27 Posted March 20, 2016 It's been on the local ITV news that the meeting will be re run with tickets valid for the re run or refunds for those that cannot make it. Really? In which year would that be then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Beggars belief, do BV think the fans are stupid enough to go back and witness more garbage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tellboy 3,672 Posted March 20, 2016 It's been on the local ITV news that the meeting will be re run with tickets valid for the re run or refunds for those that cannot make it. Its a shame the meeting couldn't get going last night.I would imagine many fans wanting refunds as a lot of those there last night would purely be there as it was a big start of a new era for Belle Vue speedway,and they had a class field to go with it.Depending on when the meeting is restaged will the GP boys be there and it possibly wont be the opening meeting.This would I'm sure have a big impact on the crowd. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gr8scot 592 Posted March 20, 2016 It was It was I guess you think you're funny. I guess you think you're funny twice. Your response was totally unnecessary as you know exactly what I meant ie postponed PRIOR to Saturday. I can't add much more to the debate that hasn't already been said but IMO the track should've been the first priority. Speedway fans will put up with a half built stadium but a speedway meeting cannot go ahead without a well laid, tried and tested track For the record, I do think the stadium is excellent and once they get their priorities right, it will be superb Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,202 Posted March 20, 2016 I think the vast majority there last night were locals who will re use their tickets for the re run or an alternative fixture. Those from further afield will probably want a refund due to all the ancillary costs incurred. I myself no longer travel any great distance to watch the sport after years of travelling the UK and Europe as it not worth it. Seeing modern day riders going through the motions or not even bothering if rain is in the air has seen to that. Still there's two new DVDs coming out featuring Hyde Road and Mort so they will keep me entertained without the worry of another superstar no show. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SUPERACE 440 Posted March 20, 2016 A lot of talk at Brandon today about the SCB doing an investigation in to what happened and the track not being in use for 4 weeks whilst they start again relaying it. Big blow for Belle Vue if true. Why is it a blow. Its the sensible thing to do, yesterday was a big blow, delaying 2 meetings at the start of the season isnt a problem at all. Another farce like last night would be a disaster. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mdmc82 2,878 Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) It was stated by Belle Vue that the meeting was a sell out, however articles state around 5000 were in attendance. I thought it was meant to hold a larger amount esp with world cup being staged there? How many can the stadium hold? Edited March 20, 2016 by mdmc82 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
