Belle Vue National Stadium
StevePark replied to PHILIPRISING's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
No. But those who moved in since 2012 will have been well aware of the railway track and the empty football stadium (with the possibility of the return of football). The additional 15 heats of speedway and the announcements over the P.A. system would be in addition to what they would have expected when they moved in. Very similar to those who have moved into the houses at Armadale. They would have been aware of the speedway track outside their front door, when they moved in, so they have no complaints, whereas those near to the Ricoh could have complaints, as it wasn't used as a speedway venue when they moved in. -

I said "leading to houses," not "on." They appear to be flats and are situated on Grindle Road, which is about 150/200mtrs from the stadium. It may well be easily accessible by being close to all the Motorways you mention, but it would only take a few of those NIMBY's I mentioned earlier to kick up a fuss about the speedway being installed in the stadium, to make it a lot less "on a plate," than suggested. -

"The hole in the roof", that won't be a roof as such then, will it? Noise will still emanate from it. But I'm glad you accept that "it's probably not feasable," which means you agree with me on one point, that it isn't "on a plate" as suggested by Drop a cog. -

Not where I'm looking on Google maps "Streetview" there isn't. On Judds Lane there is a narrow path next to a wooden fence leading to houses (there is a white coach on the right in the car park, with houses straight ahead). Also, don't forget, speedway would be running (weather permitting) every week, not just the every fortnight the stadium would be used for football. All I'm saying is it's not "on a plate" as suggested by Drop a cog. I'm not saying it isn't a possibilty, but there would be a few obstacles that would have to be overcome to persuade people to allow speedway to move into the stadium. -

Right behind the car park. Not just noise, but disruption to the local area. Don't forget the NIMBY's who will crawl out of the woodwork at any opportunity. -

Have you been there? If not have a look on Google Maps. Anything but "on a plate" due to housing nearby. -
Newcastle Vs Edinburgh {1.6.14 At 6.30}
StevePark replied to HadrianDog's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
As an example: 2014 - Ludde 17 matches 119 + 10 = 129 points Lewi 16 matches 108 + 18 = 126 points. Not much to choose between them. -

Konopka's average is 3.00, which is below Rose's, meaning Rose will remain in the main body. -

Rose's average his higher than Schramm's, so how will that work then? (Bearing in mind it has to be a like-for-like swap). -

Misses next weeks meeting due to concussion (Twitter & Facebook confirm). -

StevePark replied to HadrianDog's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
You know that for a fact do you? Last night shows that Newcastle aren't far away. To get within a point of one of the unbeaten teams in the PL this year was a damn good effort. I thought neither side deserved to lose and a draw may have been a more apt result. Just my opinion of course. -

StevePark replied to HadrianDog's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
To be quite honest, I don't think it really matters who's in the main body and who's at reserve, as whoever is at reserve should score an absolute s**t load of points, not just tomorrow but for the next month. -
Proctor's average has now been ammended on the BSPA Greensheet list as 9.22. http://www.speedwaygb.co/14issues/pl14_issue14.pdf

Think it goes to the next tenth (5.350, 5.351 etc.) otherwise they have to choose. -
After 4 home and 4 away matches (I think!)

We (well me, anyway) welcome Chris and his battling displays to Newcastle. Feel a bit sorry for Dan G., but, hopefully his time will come in the future.

Chris has now signed for Newcastle, replacing Dan Greenwood.

It depends on what those poor scores are replacing, though. If the points they are replacing are also poor, his average might not drop.
