  1. FWIW Chris Holder lives in Northamptonshire he has moved from the south coast.
  2. Well done to the savePeterborough team there is always hope if you can stop the houses. Same ruling won the day at Brandon and I know the real battle lies ahead.
  3. I know Nicky P would have played it differently if he was in Lamparts place, he would have bailed and done his outraged act shaking of the head and wagging his finger at Chris holder. meanwhile the cat in the hat would be at the refs box.

  5. I think one of the local MPs was pushing the idea as a compromise situation at the very beginning before Brandon estates put in the planning application
  6. I would imagine the only thing Brandon estates would consider is a scaled down residential development that leaves the stadium intact and able to continue. Shades of Swindon though. up the bees
  7. Absolutely this Brandon estates only hope is that stock cars and speedway somehow disappears at some stage in the future removing the loss of the stadium argument. But as the toadmeister said before have they deep enough pockets to keep losing money. they bought the land evicted motorsports and have had no return on it for seven years ,only costs. maybe it’s loose change for BE maybe not up the bees
  8. The campaign group have used the term "coats for goalposts" in their vision for getting speedway back again . on a YouTube clip after the recent enquiry victory Jeff Davies stated that the back straight stand would be refurbished along the back straight terracing giving a 3,000 capacity. A structural survey would be undertaken on the main grandstand to ascertain what's to be done with that . Fingers crossed it happens yes I know for the doom and gloom merchants we don't own it they can land bank it etc Up the bees
  9. Absolutely DJ This would be like snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. anyways the councillors at the planning meeting in 2022 concurred that houses at Brandon were not appropriate ,namely the token affordable houses ,as the local amenities were lacking and residents would be relying on a not so good bus route . kudos to the campaign group. What next for BE ?? I don’t know if they can do much now but sit on it ,but that’s not much of a plan is it ,no development possible its a liability for them now such a shame. At some stage they will need to cut and run and get something back from their speculative purchase. SCS 5 BE 1 November 22 SCS 5 BE 1 19th Jan 24 up the bees
  10. Warren hunter has the money .
  11. Fantastic news at least the fight can continue. well done to all concerned and the goat is Put to the sword. up the bees
  12. New sites were looked at ,one particular one was Brandon village way close to the A45. but that one was ruled out there were others I’m sure but I forget now it’s been so long. whatever happens what a fantastic campaign that has been fought by the SCS group . Kudos to JD and the team.
  13. Might well be right I was going in the original info before the 3 week delay
  14. I think the SCS group said a verdict would be in about 2 weeks after the final day of the appeal
