Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted February 25, 2017 Wishful thinking, to many envious people who still appear to want the Aces to fail. While I would say that every other club in the country (and quite a few across Europe) has reason to be envious of Belle Vue's stadium, I don't think there is anyone on here (or elsewhere) who genuinely wants the Aces to fail and, from that, cease to exist. They are the most famous name in World speedway, period. Having said that, there was a great deal of cynicism and scepticism about the stadium being built at all and that extended from the ordinary fan to the BSPA management committee. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyderd 1,216 Posted February 25, 2017 Think you should put your reading glasses on and not guess or twist what i said. Other promotions did not necessarily want it to be built as they have their own business. With others going for, or prepared to take the chance to get a big new stadium, it would have been welcomed by them for the sake of the sport. As a result of that, speedway would have an in house jewel in the crown to hold big events and, if they were shared events, yes they would get something out of the shareout. Not exactly what you said, and like many others on here like FF, jumping to wrong conclusions, with there own attack offensive regardless. So to put your statement into simple terms, other promotions "wanted their cake and eat it" Tsunami, I respect and agree with a hell of alot of your posts "not this thread" but ever since the NSS was first put into plans, certain posters have attacked it and doomed it for failure. I am not going to name them as they know who they are. Hopefully DG will win his case in the courts and the new promoters take Belle Vue to new heights.that should silence these critics. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foreverblue 6,096 Posted February 25, 2017 This is great news for the Aces and the future is looking brighter. Having built such a impressive stadium, hosted the world cup final there and a club with such a history it could not be lost and i don't really think there was a real chance it wasn't going to be saved. Maybe the powers that be could put the same effort in to trying to save Coventry who are also a club with a great history who are now in grave danger of being lost. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Scrutton 180 Posted February 25, 2017 From what I remember the Man City council wanted was a large Sports Stadium to rival Cardiff and to benefit the supporters from Northern England a Scotland. The "BIG WHITE ELEPHANT" in London is not a Sports Stadium. and big waste money So am happy that the aces will continue and become GREAT again as I regarded them as League winners last year being from the ''OLD SCHOOL'' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tsunami 10,219 Posted February 25, 2017 If you did stick to what actually happened rather than making up what you think happened, or usually happens, or could have happened, or must have happened, or what seems to have happened, the only one missing is 'clearly' happened. Why do you keep, in one breath, explaining why Chapman went behind Belle Vue's back and then immediately follow it up by saying he didn't go behind their backs? I've no idea what your next point is, I don't care to wonder, or do what you do and make up bolllx, about other clubs. There is plenty more to come out. As I said the other day, due to Chapman's actions the bspa will need some decent legal insurance to see them through what's on the way. THere's only one person making a fool of themselves around here. Take a bow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The White Knight 9,039 Posted February 25, 2017 It would be good if we could all put our differences to one side and just be eternally grateful that the most famous Club in Speedway, Belle Vue, will be competing, as usual, in League and Cup Competition this year. The War couldn't stop then - let's just be thrilled that Financial problems haven't stopped them either. 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hobnob Smith 77 Posted February 25, 2017 I Think people should stop bitching about what coulda shoulda woulda happened and rejoice the fact that Belle Vue are running with what looks like a good future for them unlike some other clubs that have sadly died Cradley Oxford etc. Be Happy 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
