Bellamy in the Star saying he believes the new people will carry on with Cardiff as a venue next season

Bellamy in the Star says that they did consider Belle Vue as an option as no Cardiff. No mention of Odsal

5.36 am!

Can't see anything

Would the damage not be covered by insurance?

My guess at this stage is that this won't take place

Of course not but given the nature of the article in the speedway star I'd have thought a simple statement saying "the speedway is unaffected by the recent changes at and around the OTA and we very much hope to be back racing in 2022" would be good PR unless of course....

3 days now and no sign of an announcement from the management. If there's nothing to worry about why not issue a simple statement

Looks likely to me Hopefully an announcement will be forthcoming shortly as the Somerset fans deserve that at the very least

Like airlines and holiday companies jacking their prices at half term, summer school holidays, Xmas etc Supply and demand unfortunately

Judging by the reaction of the owner/promoter to the questions posed by the speedway star reporter I'd say there's every right to be very concerned indeed

Bet David Bellamy and the bsi lads are gutted

Thanks Neil Shame but understandable given the current situation I guess.

Silver Ski gone?

Mine delivered at 5.06 this morning.

Newcastle were allocated a ridiculously low capacity by the local authority which led the Diamonds to say that it was not economical to run on that basis. That statement has now been withdrawn so presume discussion is ongoing. If that is replicated by local authorities across the UK....

Blamed? No but rightly flagged up as an issue that needs to be solved by stadium owners and their tenants

Only Newcastle and that was quickly withdrawn although some of the stuff there was ominous for a few tracks

The toilet situation is certainly relevant at Monmore Green I'd imagine alternative facilties will need to be provided

£15 for National League. Steep imo

Nobody

News team delivered mine to my next door neighbour at 6.45am. They must have realised their error and came back at 7.45 to tell me and post a message through next door as they couldn't get an answer. No complaints

Yes very much so. Keeping a keen eye on Northside for a possible Workington come back.

How much for a bog standard set up to get things off the ground, permiter fence, track/air fence, track surface, electrics, toilets. £300k? More? Plus potentially the cost of the land unless you could rent it. Not insignificant costs, are there people in or interested enough in speedway to shell out this type of capital?

I looked at getting one a while ago. They were available on a private basis I think
