I'd prefer " The Truth is out There" a song by Goucho realised 2021.

Entain and Arena have already said they are going into a joint operation at Dunstall Park so horse and greyhound racing will be at the one facility,and with Wolverhampton council closing their depot at Culwell St there is nowhere near enough space to accommodate with what they're planning in today's Express & Star at the present fruit & veg wholesale market. The fleet of vehicles alone which they are stating will be based there requires an enormous amount of land so really the only other viable space in Hickman Ave is Monmore Green which is right next door.
-
Good idea but not sure it would even get looked at by our council.Whatever is put forward will be vetoed by this rabble.
-
So now we all know the real reason behind the decision there will be no more speedway at Monmore Green after this season.The Council have announced plans to demolish the next door wholesale market and build a new far larger facility that will include a new mixed use complex to incorporate vehicle fleet services,new market,meals on wheels operartion,salt storage with new electric vehicles,street sign opereration and office space to control all these facilities...... So this was the devious plan all along between Entain and Wolverhampton City Council to end a near 100 year reign to bring an end to Wolves speedway at their present home. Bare faced lies from Entain about needing a new track for Premier greyhound racing,and the council for saying they'll do all they can for Entain to change their mind and let speedway continue at the Green.Both organisations lying scumbags.

What an absolute shambles...Wolves without more than half their team.
-
But where would be the ideal location be.I suppose Sandwell is in the middle for the three teams,but Nigel Pearson tried that for Cradley(and came very close to getting one in Tividale).Would think there are empty brownfield sites around there,but persuading the council might be a different matter.
-
And Birmingham?
-
Apparently it's also emerged on Facebook that the fruit and veg wholesale market next door to Monmore will be turned into appartments. That's not a good sign .
-
He's one of several on here who hates everything Wolverhampton Speedway,and most of them are Coventry supporters.
-
Yes of course,and as with Molineux with the Gallagher brothers putting in the money,so the same with Monmore it will also needs private investment rather than tax payers left with the burden.
-
So if Entain leave Monmore,the council should serve notice that the ground that the stadium is build on should remain for sport purposes only,the same that was done with Molineux when Wolves nearly went into liquidation following the disastrous tenure of the Bhatti brothers and then by the Dougan consortium.
-
And also the end to speedway in Brum. Plans submitted to build 600 houses on the Perry Bar site.
-
Two peas from the same pod.Perhaps that's why we might be looking at South Staffs.
-
And I believe Leicester had a lot of help from the council in getting theirs up and running. Unfortunately don't think Wolverhampton council has the same drive and determination in helping us out in the same way.
-
Which ever way you look at it,to make it anywhere near viable financially, it would need to be a multi-sports arena. Speedway alone would take years to get back any kind of return on the outlay .
-
What I was told last night, a site looked at was between Wolves and Cannock. Wouldn't say i54 is between those two points tbh. ..Featherstone,Cheslyn Hay,Shareshill.???
-
Always thought some where near the JLR plant was a possibility, nearest houses are Pendeford, but probably far enough away for noise concerns.
-
From what I was told last night,they've looked at a possible piece of land somewhere between Wolverhampton and Cannock. If there's any truth in it dunno.

Wolves v Belle Vue 10 July
Tommy Sweetman replied to Rob B's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
And if only the horse hadn't stopped to do a s##t he'd have won the race,and if only had Becker been fit it would have been more that 1 point from his rides. -
Woofy returns in 2024
Tommy Sweetman replied to IronScorpion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
If that happens can see it only being at Birmingham (if they're still running) for a season. Can't see in the time remaining how they can put together all the facilities required for a new track. -
Woofy returns in 2024
Tommy Sweetman replied to IronScorpion's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
Woofy has already stated he would like to be involved with Wolves if they could find a few acres of land that would incorporate motocross .Personally can't see that happening,unless they cross the border into South Staffs where possibly there's room next to the i54 site. PS...Entail have reiterated they won't be changing their mind about Monmore. -
