Whereas Artem is a Number 2

FWIW Chris Holder lives in Northamptonshire he has moved from the south coast.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

Warren hunter has the money .

Fantastic news at least the fight can continue. well done to all concerned and the goat is Put to the sword. up the bees

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.

Might well be right I was going in the original info before the 3 week delay

I think the SCS group said a verdict would be in about 2 weeks after the final day of the appeal

Absolutely the merits of the development have been shown to be flawed with affordable tick box houses in the wrong place. Everything BE tried to do was deflection. As others have mused on here I’m confident the houses will be refused again but what that leads to is another story. I reckon SCS should get Phil Morris to sum up tomorrow I reckon he is still up for a bundle with BE. up the Bees

After last night Chris holder fill your boots

Some great teams over the years didnt Hackney have a team that went unbeaten ,might be wrong sheffield had a great team in the seventies bob valentine reg wilson Doug wyer rick france bob paulson arnold haley bengt Larson i think they all averaged 7+ in the spirit of a dream team of performances at Brandon over the years of opposition riders only ,who never rode for the bees either. ray wilson dag lovaas bo Petersen ivan mauger barry briggs anders michanek Peter collins

NHS want money from Brandon estates if the site is developed for houses ,to compensate for services to be rendered as it were ,£133k I think.

Quite and that in warren hunter’s submission he said the only years a loss was made was when the greyhounds were operated.

I thought the fordmeister did well he fought his corner calmly. he expressed his experience as a promoter would make Coventry successful as an older statesman of the sport -go Cecil. So Taking the positives the most successful promoter wants to promote speedway at Brandon. we have a millionaire businessman with the funds to renovate the stadium appropriately. stock cars will always thrive at Brandon Phil morris explained vehemently the current media and state of speedway in a positive manner. On the negative side it would be easy for the chair to add weight to the affordable housing provision so as to expedite the site not laying desolate for another seven years. probably an irrational worry by me though. up the bees

I have this image now of Matt Ford tomorrow being charm personified. The name is Ford ,Matt Ford .madam chair Ding Dong . Keep battling the good guys, up the bees
