A long list to narrow down in order to find the suspect lol.

Our friend @ouch has to be odds on favourite, with our even older friend @AceBelle rising like a phoenix from the ashes at evens. 
 

Long shots, @mikebv and @PhilTheAce, they’re far too chilled to be the “Ordinary Man” for my money 😁

Edit: Forgot @Rob B! Dark horse for sure!

No wonder Aces fans are mad about losing the Manchester GP.

Ipswich have had a shocker of a season but they've still managed to come out of it better off than Belle Vue lol.

I wonder if Dan Bewley fancies getting to grips with the soon to be new and improved Foxhall circuit before the GP.

Two nights at the GP's cost me well over £300 for two tickets and that kind of outlay (and more for others to sit down), definitely, once again, meant that domestic meeting attendances before, and after,  got hit, and quite severely...

Maybe not having a GP next season will help the Aces attendance wise?...

I will be very surprised if they run on the 12th of June given Oasis are in town, a mile away, and there is hardly a "very expensive" room available now, already, in Manchester for that evening...

And one GP wouldn't justify the six figure outlay for the extra seating that needs putting in to take the capacity up to "profit levels"...

Maybe Glasgow would fancy it?...

People spontaneously combusting on here and social media that Coleman has “taken an GP away from Belle Vue and given it to Ipswich instead” are not surprisingly way off yet again. He very much wants the GP at the NSS but there are issues that he’s trying hard to resolve. 
 

Everyone is in full agreement that Belle Vue holds the best possible racing. In an ideal world and this is just my opinion, they would have one GP at the NSS every year as standard, and then move the other around different parts of the country for variety and giving supporters from different parts of the UK a chance to go and see a GP without major travelling. Win win.

Good point to be fair.

Good post and spot on. Richard did not gleefully move the GP, he is first and foremost a business man and promotes accordingly, different from the heart led style of most promotions.

Now the venue has been announced and following my other post, I can give my thoughts. The main plus for me is the track work at Foxhall as it’s been poor for more years than I care to remember. Secondly a southern GP (together with a hoped for northern one) should ignite interest from fans new & old down there. Thirdly is the capacity that Foxhall offers for what will be a sell out. 
Nothing for this particular Belle Vue fan to dislike but then again it’s that bigger picture thinking again.
