Seems Osborne is one step ahead as usual. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/24163955.application-drop-speedway-greyhounds-abbey-stadium/

correct they cannot appeal an appeal, but as you say they can simply put in another application, the planning process is heavily in favour of developers because they can as said put in another planning application and lose, appeal lose again, then just continue the process over and over, whereas if they win the appeal that's it get on with whatever it is they want to develop.

Never been, but according to this there is plenty of parking onsite. http://www.redcar-speedway.com/contact-us/ https://www.google.com/maps/place/South+Tees+Motor+Sports+Motor+Sports+Park+Dormor+Way,+South+Bank,+Middlesbrough+TS6+6XH,+UK/@54.576355,-1.192149,1010m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x487eedc6cce45da9:0x50308b346af8c6e8!8m2!3d54.5762179!4d-1.1884587!16s%2Fg%2F1vk6yswk?hl=en-GB&entry=ttu

Agreed.

I will just mention "The Crooked House" much more on our patch Deanno, the Council have this week used there powers and ordered it to be rebuilt, I suspect the owners will be very reluctant to do that so it will be interesting to see where that goes, but yes Swindon Council do have the power to order GI to do various thing's what they don't have is the power to order GI to allow Speedway at the Stadium, which is what most of us want to see, and the same goes for Brandon Stadium.

I suspect he will indeed be at No6 after the first set of averages, i suspect Birmingham prefer Cook to be at reserve to begin the season.

I suspect crafty Osborne is using the "unviable" pre text to get around the continuation of Speedway at Blunsdon, let's be honest it only takes a few brown envelopes to silence some people ahem! does the cap fit anyone we know ?.

If he does then it will be more by luck than judgement..

Hey your biased .

The new Swindon Greenhouse was temporarily blown of situ over the weekend, the new Greenhouse which is made of Canvas, Scaffold Poles and Metal Storage Containers was supposed to be used as pits for the none existent Speedway at Blunsdon Stadium, this shows what a joke Osborne & Co actually are.. https://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/24069889.storm-isha-damage-caused-swindons-abbey-stadium/?fbclid=IwAR1qR5oD1vQViutlr7l8O_74_Wtdm-stCjnyUYp0vK

This is the issue, so long as any other successful planning application yields BE significant profits I doubt they will want to sell the site, as a matter of curiosity has anyone been able to find out who are the people behind Brandon Estates ?.

That was for the last two riders it was two from seven.

Guaranteed to be winners of the Wooden Spoon with the present 7 riders, the BSPL have even inflated the averages of 2 riders Milik and Lampart to make Birmingham look stronger than what they actually are, this team is simply not good enough and anyone that thinks it is needs to think again. It's admirable that the few Brummie supporters that come on here say that they at least have a team to watch, may I say Speedway is a Sport and as such it's competitive every rider want's to win, most supporters want to watch a winning Team, This team will not bring new fans through the gates, not many Wolves or Cradley fans will come over to watch a Team struggle to win a home meeting, and dare I say this team will also impact on other Teams when Birmingham are the visitors. I fear for Birmingham Speedway because this Team needs leaders, Heat leaders and I can only see one of them, if they can get through the season that will be an achievement in itself.

according to Brummie website.. 024 CURTIS SPORT BIRMINGHAM BRUMMIES:Piotr Pawlicki (7.50), Vaclav Milik (7.50), Steve Worrall (6.43), Wiktor Lampart (6.00), Tom Brennan (5.87), Zach Cook (5.10), Leon Flint (RS).

But Speedway has been living way above it's means for a good many years now, how do you compete with such as Glasgow , is it not a case of how much is a Promoter prepared to subsidise a Team?, some of the figures I see being mentioned being paid to riders are mouth watering when one looks at average attendances. I see that 1000 is mentioned as being a good attendance figure x that by say £20 gives an income of £20k per meeting out of that there is track rental, medical cover, riders pay for home and away meetings, insurances, refs fees, BSPL licence fees, track maintenance, if teams only paid out of what comes in then may i suggest some riders would be paying the clubs to ride..

Mr Tolley keeps telling us they are in NO rush, I can only say if they don't sign 2 x out and out heat leaders, he would be better off keeping his money in his pocket..

It's otherwise known as the back slappers ball, but at least it has given you something else to comment on other than the One Stop Parking situ, now where is that darned emoji when i need it ? rofl.

I'm using a laptop on Chrome.

I think someone in the know said cannot use Icons if we/you use Chrome, I don't have a problem using Icons on other sites and I can use them to write a post but not in reply.

With buggerall actually happening in the Speedway close season, speculating about who may sign or who won't sign creates a bit of interest, as to what we think should be happening most people have ideas some more worthwhile than others, here is my tenpenny worth, Nigel Tolley is still being advised by LR with regards signing riders, Nigel has himself got limited experience with regards getting riders in, Nigel has appointed a new Team manager who has little or no experience in managing a Speedway team, he has appointed an assistant team manager with probably less experience than the team manager, we have supporters that have for the most part never managed a Speedway Team, but we usually do know a half decent Speedway rider when we see one. Nigel badly needs experience in the management team I mean someone other than LR, and from what I can see the same mistakes with regards team building are being repeated again and again.

Might have been better if NT had run Championship Speedway at Bradford than Premiership at Perry Barr.

100% agree.

NT said it was Laurence, Chris with himself busy making sure that they pick the best 2 from 6 possible riders, does that give you any confidence that they will get it right ?.

L&L would be expensive, but Birmingham is the 2nd city in the UK, surely there must be a couple of Sponsors in the Birmingham area that would sponsor at least one of them ?, There are major employers within the city that should be approached with Sponsorship in mind, if NT is putting in what he says he is then signing L&L and moving heaven and earth to find Sponsors is the way to go, sitting back and dilly dallying over which rider to sign is not helpful when trying to attract Sponsors.
