KIRKYLANE 537 Posted July 5, 2016 COPIED FROM OFFICIAL WEB SITE Belle Vue speedway are delighted to announce the introduction of post meeting Press Conferences for our fans. After every home meeting, all fans will be invited to join the Press Conference in the Peter Craven suite. These will commence approximately 10 minutes after the close of meeting parade. This is to allow fans from South Stand to make their way around to the Peter Craven suite. The Conference will be attended by Mark Lemon - Team Manager, selected Belle Vue riders and the Promoters of Belle Vue speedway. There will be several interviews and the opportunity for fans to ask questions in a Q & A session. There will also be photo/autograph opportunities with the riders.The Peter Craven suite has a set safety capacity, so please arrive as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. Tuesday 5th July 2016 Excellent idea from the management 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ABS 231 Posted July 5, 2016 A very good idea - keeps up the interest and the bar receipts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ouch 1,191 Posted July 5, 2016 Also worth mentioning that Belle Vue had a nice positive piece on BBC's North West tonight yesterday. These press conferences are just another aspect of the excellent PR set up in place at the NSS. Well done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel Smith 5,666 Posted July 5, 2016 Great idea in principle but most fans after heat 15 just want to get home 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triple.H. 1,986 Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) The forward thinking Nigel Wagstaff was doing this at Oxford years ago. So many supporters and fellow promoters used to slag off his ideas. I find it strange that so many have been adopted. Edited July 5, 2016 by Triple.H. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ouch 1,191 Posted July 5, 2016 Apparently The Aces first tried this in 1928 and many tracks have copied it with varying degrees of success since then. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starman2006 2,355 Posted July 5, 2016 Apparently The Aces first tried this in 1928 and many tracks have copied it with varying degrees of success since then. Really, thats why no EL clubs do it. It didn't work so it was scraped. Lets see how long its lasts at BV. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted July 5, 2016 Reading used to do this at smallmead in the bulldogs era. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damosuzuki 696 Posted July 5, 2016 Really, what do you think you are something special. Mark may words you wont see it again after this season. Belle Vue are to be congratulated, let's see if it works. Glasgow have a meet n greet in the bar with all the riders at every home meeting. People seem to like it. Plus it's a Friday night and it's Mark Lemon, as opposed to A lemon, doing the talking. So good luck to them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
New Science 1,059 Posted July 5, 2016 Think Joe Screen, Carl Stonehewer, Sean Wilson and Steve Johnston used to a regular post match forum in the bar after every meeting but I believe they were unoficial 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flagrag 704 Posted July 5, 2016 Leicester do a post meeting conference in front of the main stand every week with Norrie and a Leicester rider if a loss and normally the whole team if a win. They did used to get the opposing manager or rider but some wont do it I think this year Jon Cook and Rob Lyons are the only ones who have agreed to it.
