Does anyone know how much the admission fee is for round 5 at Leicester? I know last year it was more than any other round. No price on either the Young LIons or Leicester websites.

What a stupid time. What about those that are still at work at that time???

Great meeting again. Always enjoy going to Leicester to see the British Youth Championship. Took a few pics that can be seen at https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.286275055061733.1073741830.100423306980243&type=1&l=2fd6a105bd

But the Sky TV cameras aren't at Belle Vue so it will probably be called off before heat 10, if it goes ahead.

Just found this article in todays Wilts and Gloucestershire Standard. http://www.wiltsglosstandard.co.uk/sport/12955733.SPEEDWAY__Will_Swindon_benefit_from_the_potential_musical_chairs_in_Elite_League_/?ref=rss

Taken from Coventry Teegraph website 06/06/2013 http://www.coventryt...-agents-4065441 PROPERTY agents dealing with a sale of the Brandon Stadium site are staying tight-lipped on whether Coventry City are bidding to build a stadium there. Meanwhile, organisations managing the sale of two other sites being speculated over – the former Peugeot site at Ryton-On-Dunsmore, and Ansty Park near Walsgrave – have told the Telegraph no approach has been made by the football club. Sisu-owned Coventry City Football Club (Holdings) Limited claims to be close to a deal to buy land for a new stadium – having looked at several unnamed sites in the “Coventry area”, but outside the city. Holdings has claimed the preferred site is closer to the city centre than the Ricoh Arena, but just outside the administrative boundary of Coventry City Council - which has been in dispute with Holdings over Ricoh rent and ownership of the stadium it half owns. Holdings’ chief executive Tim Fisher recently told the London Supporters’ Club the club was looking at brownfield sites, which might require a change of use. Andrew Moss, of GVA in Birmingham, which is marketing the Brandon Coventry Bees stadium site, told the Telegraph he could not comment on whether the football club had made an approach. He added: “A number of bids are currently being considered by the vendor (site owner Avtar Sandhu). “We’re awaiting further instructions. Hopefully by tomorrow we’ll have a better indication. “We may then go back to a number of top bidders in a ‘best and final’ scenario. “We may have a shortlist next week. It depends which way the vendor wants to go with it.” He said a possible timescale would be agreeing heads of terms with a preferred purchaser by mid-June, with an exchange of contracts in mid-July or mid-August. He said it was hoped a sale could be concluded by the end of the year at the latest. Many fans have speculated over the former Peugeot factory site at Ryton, which is close to the Sky Blues’ training ground. But Chris Hall, director of Trenport Investments, said he was unaware of any approach by the football club for the remainder of the site on the A45. He added: “It there was one, I ought to know, as I am dealing with all planning matters. No-one has spoken to me about such an idea.” The company is seeking outline planning permission for employment site for the remaining site C - expected to be warehousing and “light industrial” units. Sites A and B were sold to Prologis. Steve Holland, of the Homes and Communities Agency, which is marketing Ansty Park, the former Advantage West Midlands large employment site long earmarked for up to 10,000 advanced manufacturing jobs, said: “We’ve had no approach from Coventry City Football Club . “We’d struggle with a stadium on the site. We have (planning) restrictions for research and development. It would require a change of use. “This is a national asset. The government have invested in it for research and development. Otherwise we would have sold it years ago for distribution.” Sky Blues boss Mr Fisher has been explaining plans to build a stadium in potentially three years. In the meantime, the club would play outside the city with a groundsharing arrangement, with widespread speculation that Walsall’s Banks’s stadium is the preferred option. The plan would have to be agreed by the Football League, where a board meeting yesterday was expected to hear an update on Coventry City’s administration process. The new stadium plan is also dependent on the Football League allowing Holdings, or any Sisu-related company, to continue running the football club after it exits administration. Paul Appleton, the administrator for subsidiary company Coventry City Football Club Ltd, is expected to select a preferred bidder for the club for eight interested parties some time after tomorrow deadline for indicative bids.

To get the younger people to go you need the parents to take them. At cov they're having bands playing in the understand bar before the meetings to get the 18+ going as part of a night out. If they had free admission to the meeting for under 16 then possibly some of the 18+ age group would take an under 16 with them. They also need to do a 'give it a try' promotion. Didn't Chris Louis used to have a 2-seater speedway bike that he took people round the track on? Kids could pay a fiver (or their parents could pay) for a couple of laps on the back of it. Sure most of them would love a go.

Oooops! So i see.

Anyone know what time the Park + Ride opens on Saturday? How much it is and where? Cheers Dave

The biggest meeting in the British speedway calendar and it's not televised? That makes sense

Is the British Final being shown on SKY TV?

Surprising what $100,00 on offer can do.

Sam as the main feature?? Look like i might have to buy two copies as the girlfriend will probably knick mine. She's mad on Sam for some reason.

Bees Legend Tommy Knudsen please.
