Deanno, what do we consider to be to close to houses ? surely BV is close to houses but it is something the council wanted so it was allowed, surely if something improves the area as a whole then it can be put forward for outline planning permission ?, discounting farmers fields i am aware of pretty much 99.9% of sites around Cradley Heath obviously their is no ideal site otherwise it would have been found by now, ideally a track share with Wolves would be ideal and if a site was big enough a track within a track could be the way to track share (the inside track for Wolves), The Lion Farm site just off Junction 2 of the M5 would have been ideal for a project such as that, but again the local council prefer to let the site become more and more run down before it eventually becomes uneconomic to repair and will be sold off to developers, in the meantime they refuse to lease the site and receive an annual rental income which could have been be reinvested.

Not sure the size of track makes for good racing,, it's the room on entry and exits of the corners that make for good or bad racing.

Maybe they could get Foz on the nitro and Helium,, would make it a bit more interesting

I'm impressed with what I have seen so far 400 mtr track should produce some good racing ,as has been said it will have to comply to get a license . Most of the work seems fairy straight forward they have the infra instructor it is more adaption to co-exist with the stoxs that needs to be done ,there will be a cost but assume that has been factored into the project .

This has been done previously at Belle Vue, Leicester & Workington. Good to see other clubs come along and carry the burden - well done. Maybe you’ll discover another Bailey, Bickley, Bewley, Flint, Hodder, Howarth, Pearson, Smith or Worrall to use in your team to help you show the way.

Vintage races are Jade Mudgway & Theo Pijper for Redcar vs Stuart Swales and Stuart Robson for Newcastle

i for one am looking forward to it coming off. Haven't been to a meeting since the demise of Elfield Park @ MK however, having watch some on Sky & youtube. All the messing around at the start is off putting. My one concern is, 6 teams in the league!!! Really should look back to 64/65. Think there should be an amalgamation. link for Defunct tracks. http://www.defunctspeedway.co.uk/Brafield.htm

Glad you mentioned cobblers that reminds me to get my shoes fixed

Boo

Yes 10p rise to £1.80

Any money leftover hopefully will pay for my Bsn pass

If only all tracks were owned by speedway clubs!!

No wonder they got in a financial mess last season, poor business acumen. Have a nice day geoff100 😄

Ryan and Luke both raced in yesterdays amateur meeting, and both put in some very impressive performances, especially Ryan pulling off some fantastic moves to beat Jake Mulford three times, and recording a time of 59.36 too!

One of these days you might have something positive to say until then do one!

Decent side tbf

Nice to see Kyle get a run out

Well I got my 'Star on Saturday and today so - HA! Well it was late so for something to read I bought the last copy on TJ Jones' shelf (was WH Smith), then regular ish showed up, sent on to a friend North O' The Border who sends me Glasgow & other proggies. Think I heard on the radio price of 1st class stamps is soon to rise, almost 3-fold....

This is literally the same as posting a picture of a field before the new Workington track was laid and saying "it's a bit bumpy at the new Worky track" 🤣

Can we all be on our best behaviour please we don't want to scare off our new friends from Northampton 😉😁

Will the lamp posts need moving back or will they be ok where they are?

Worky and most clubs had kids for a quid or free in school holidays, now thanks to some sponsors comets are running this all season,

Diamonds Select 1-7 named: Danny King, Simon Lambert, Connor Mountain, Victor Palovaara, Lewis Kerr, Kyle Newman, Alfie Bowtell. There will also be some Vintage races involving Jade Mudgway, Stu Swales & Stu Robson + one other who's name I didn't get !
