No is the straight answer. This year bags were properly checked and the wand was used prior to being allowed through.

That is when it becomes pricey!

I have been going for 12 years now and will probably give next year a miss. The racing was boring and the atmosphere was a tad lacklustre. Maybe a year off would be enough to get me ''hungry'' for the occasion again.

Lisa I think you have it bad. MANY years ago I would share banter with Coventry fans and Poole fans alike.. We would have a laugh and you used to join in (that is banter). I would never wish any stadium to close down as it's heartbreaking at the time. I rarely follow live speedway these days but still watch it on TV. and try to attend Cardiff every year. You seem to have been bearing resentment for years and I'm glad you feel better. Perhaps your resentment and bitterness will now dissipate and we can consider this an end. Continue to enjoy your speedway while you can as one day it may not be there.

I've never known you to bite your tongue -- you are souring with age. My opinions on Poole's track is shared by many. I think we will have to agree to disagree -- I doubt we have anything in common anyway although we once shared pleasantries on Social Media.

Bless you for such a polite and mature reply. I would certainly agree that once upon a time one could have banter with you. How times have changed.

So what's your reply to the first bit of the comment?

Dreadful but don't expect any Poole locals to agree. Well done to Bomber -- I've not always been a great fan of his but his experience and skill did him proud tonight.

On Midlands Today the closure of the stadium got a mention.

A tad late in my reply but many thanks to Rob C for the recommendation of somewhere to eat by the track --- we had a lovely carvery meal. As for the Belle Vue track -- WOW and double WOW!! What a fantastic venue providing great racing and entertainment (including the handbags!!). I'm so envious of all you Belle Vue supporters that you have such a great track. I so miss my racing at Brandon and I was reminded of this when attending your great venue. Dare I say this would be an ideal track for a future G.P ?

Many thanks

I'm making my first ever visit to Belle Vue -- I'm so pleased as the racing looks exciting as well as the track. Can anyone recommend a decent eating place near the stadium please (plain pub food type of thing)? Thanks in advance.

My apologies if I'm wrong I thought he raced grasstrack around 2009 -- the old grey matter is not what it used to be!!

Danny was always a great entertainer when he raced grasstrack which I followed from 2008 until approx.2012

Per Jonsson would have liked more dirt on the track Good on him

A fair minded and intelligent poster who has been on the forum for MANY years. She is sadly missed and I hope she returns soon.

You forgot END!

That truly is the best post about this meeting and sums it all up. (as well as poor camerawork). Why oh WHY include Bomber?

Each to their own.

I don't wish to be argumentative at all here but (as has been said many times) Greyhounds are so badly treated -- do you really expect an income to made from this barbaric sport? Stock cars has a great following and would attract many supporters = money.

OMG -- this is beginning to sound like a POOLE tactic.

Aww Gemini sad to hear this but I do know how difficult it is for you to attend these days. I very nearly went tonight but am still struggling to get my motivation going after Brandon closing .Speedway will miss you as you have been a very loyal servant x

Well done Peterborough! Just loving this team after I saw them ride on Bank Holiday Monday at their home track. (Possibly one of the best tracks in this division). Good to see Hans at his best.

Indeed it did
