Surely Shielfield already has planning consent for speedway. If so why would it need future planning permission.

Some interesting stats here: http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/avepol.htm For example Torun is over 100km from it's nearest ekstraliga team (Plock) [ditto Gorzow and Szczecin]

As Mildenhall speedway must be a fully taxable VAT registered business all the input VAT on the rent would be fully recoverable so not a cost to Mildenhall speedway. So he rent has stayed the same.

Yes. Third in AMA National championship. (He would have finished second had he not missed a round). Note visa rules may change following Brexit, but that is unlikely to have any impact before 2020.

Mildenhall V Eastbourne NLPO Final 2ng leg 25-10-18@7-30pm
arnieg replied to Super Blue's topic in National League Speedway
That is a great turn of phrase and an accurate description of where we are. -
Comets deserve particular praise for the way they stuck with Kyle. He got his best score yet last night and it was his pass of Wajtknecht in heat 11 that mathematically pushed Comets over the finishing line. I'm glad he has proven that Worky were justified in supporting Kyle when he was finding the adjustment to CL difficult.

I'd guess 1300-1500, but I am not very familiar with the stadium so it is a very rough estimate. 1100 may be a fair figure for adult admissions

Usually it is quoted as a 30 mile area of exclusivity ( there are some obvious historical exceptions). So for example I believe attempts by a Norwich based group to introduce speedway at Swaffham were torpedoed by an objection from King's Lynn. The licence will expire after the track stops operating ( So for example David Hemsley at Leicester acquired a new licence off the BSPA rather than buy an existing one.) Not sure there is a fixed period but three years seems about typical. Licences can also be transferred, so for example Newcastle's licence moved to Reading in 1971 and Reading's to a new venue at Sunderland [yes I know they ran in 64].

Mildenhall V Eastbourne NLPO Final 2ng leg 25-10-18@7-30pm

Remember that there is already a disciplinary black Mark against Mildenhall for not fulfilling a fixture. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.30909 Discussed at length here -
Are they doing buy one get one frees yet?

Let us be clear. There is and never has been any rule anywhere in the rulebook that makes Nick Morris an eligible guest in the second leg. We can debate whether or not it was appropriate for the SCB to sanction his use but it certainly wasn't within the rules as laid down in the rulebook.

All insurances run to 31 October. New policies would be required. -
Lakeside V Peterbrough Play Off Semi Final 14-10-18
arnieg replied to Chris116's topic in SGB Championship League Speedway
That would tend to suggest that Rye House needs an electrician to inspect and certify the lighting (And other electrical equipment) as fit for purpose before another meeting can take place there. -

You forgot to mention the exciting variety of opposition. -

I think Workington might have a thing or two to say about that. After all they have qualified for the final. Sadly in this mess nothing is simple. It's days like these I am glad I am not in Neil Vacher's shoes. -
Here here. I haven't seen such relentless criticism of a struggling reserve since Lee Richardson propped up the Racers scoresheet week in week out in 1995.

I think HT's estimates are reasonable ( if only clubs did run once a week!). That comes to about 200,000 per year - add in Cardiff and round up and we have about 250k paid attendances. For comparison: https://www.statista.com/statistics/686971/highest-attended-types-of-sport-in-the-uk/ I am pretty sure that if you go to ice hockey/basketball etc fans forums you will find similar discussions about lack of coverage.

Grand Prix Calendar and Venues 2019
arnieg replied to james1234's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I've been there. I was gobsmacked when I saw it suggested as a GP venue. It offers great opportunities for young riders that want to get track time, but it would be like proposing a GP at Carmarthen. -
There's a case to be made for Michanek in 73, and I think Mauger's experience might have given him the advantage over Olsen in 71 across a whole season.

Those would be my preferred four too

Every single major American sport is run on 'socialist' lines. [Ironic isn't it]

Few U21 champions are ready for the GP. Even Jason Crump struggled in his first year. But are we really ready for the next Dawid Kuwaja in the GP? There is also a strong likelihood it will mean yet another Pole. World under 21 champ should be considered on merit along with other wildcard picks.
