Craig Cook has announced he not fit to ride tonight, but will be there and bringing engines to help.

On Saturday evening Craig confirmed that there is broken bone, but he said he had movement and wanted to ride. Nothing has been said since, I suspect it would be stiff Sunday morning.

Yes total current capacity is 3020. The South stand was removed at end of 2016 and they installed a smaller one at start of 2017 to reduce costs, they could extend it if required for larger events.

Wolves did have a guest last year, they had Chris Harris.

It holds 200 in total although maybe not for eating. You won't have any trouble getting in there if there for decent time, say before 6.30.

You can eat in the stadium in the Peter Craven Suite before the meeting which is nice, or there is a KFC just down the road, not much else apart from the famous curry mile 1 mile away. Belle Vue Speedway 17 September at 14:51 · At Wednesday's Aces v Somerset KOC Meeting we will be serving Homemade Steak & John Smith's Ale Pie or Homemade Leek, Mushroom & Vegetable Pie served with chips & peas for £7.50 No need to book, pay on the night (please purchase your meeting admission ticket before entering reception)

That would be Andy Meredith (son of Colin) who does a great job, even with the infamous Manchester weather to contend with. There was heavy rain yesterday afternoon, some Belle Vue fans on social media were ridiculously questioning if the meeting would be on, the track can take rain no problem and they were watering from heat 4 onwards.

All tracks like that, if you had great racing in first few heats the racing will be poor later on as won't be any dirt left on the outside. Doyle did pass Fricke in heat 1 last night.

Heat 13 :

After heat 6 I thought we would be lucky to win the meeting, never would have thought we we be going into heat 14 with still a chance! In the end 10 points was a good result we let ourselves down in 1st leg as usual. From heat 6 to heat 15 we made up the 14 points, if only we didn’t go behind in the match, heat 2 and heat 5 were the critical heats. Heat 13 what a cracker again! All 4 riders kept passing each other with Cook pipping Doyle on the line for a 5-1! Even better then the heat 13 two weeks ago.

Whoever we used tonight was surely the 2nd choice guest, and they have someone they think will be better on Monday.

We are not talking about the channel, the channel has been around over a year, its the HD version that was promised in June.

It's not actually in HD, it's still an SD channel that you can only get on the HD platform (confusing I know) I hate watching in SD.

Still waiting!

Could they change next Tuesday to 1st leg and have 2nd leg next Wednesday?

The grandstand is easy to estimate, each block holds 300 there, the middle 3 blocks were nearly full plus all the people up in Peter Craven suite so thats about 900 so are you saying there was less then 300 in south stand? Can at least double that, so minimum 1500.

It was disappointing crowd but it was probably bad timing with schools going back this week and live on TV. But you are talking rubbish, there was about 1000 just in grandstand, i’d say in total it was about 1700.

MAX FRICKE!!!!!!

Heat 10, Tungate & Riss fell first bend, clear 1st bend bunching which ref also said, for some reason Masters was gesturing to referee and when he got back to pits gate he started having a go at Riss, words were exchanged looked like Masters pushed Riss and Riss threw a punch, Masters was straddled over his bike and he fell over his bike, was quickly split up.

No sh!t Sherlock, one word Bewley! He is irreplaceable, was scoring far higher then his average, R/R scored 5 points from 2 meetings, Bewley would have scored at least 18 if not more. Of course any team is going to pick Belle Vue as we are severely weakened!

52-38 with 1 point R/R for Bewley

Because you are not opening your gates till 7pm, would have been bit tight getting everyone in in 30 minutes

SRBF collection, and after what has just happened to Dan Bewley is quite important, not a tight turnaround doesn’t start till 8.00pm tonight!

Will be fine, cloudy but dry.

Plenty of official parking off Kirkmanshulme Lane (£3) plus street parking and unofficial car parks at Showcase and Bingo. For food there is hotdogs, burgers, pies, pastys and chips. But if getting there early I recommend you go up to the Peter Craven Suite through glass doors and have brunch : https://bellevueaces.co/news/2018/8/22/bank-holiday-brunch
