If it was the Premiership then Cov v Belle Vue wouldn't have been scheduled for that night. The absence of any CL fixtures on the Friday makes it clear that it is intended to carry on as per previous years. -
25 Oct mtg was a 4TT - rained off - involving Nottm, Leicester Wolves and Oxford PROGRAMME EXISTS Meeting staged on 1 Nov with insert as Wimbledon replaced Leicester. Mtg won by Wolves

Iknew I'd slip up somewhere.

I concur with this (and I have extensive experience of planning). The one caveat I have is that the current Govt. are the developers friend and have been making it easier to get approval in a number of situations so it could turn out that planning regulations offer less protection than is expected.

Have the legal issues surrounding liability for the opening night fiasco been resolved? Given the speed at which these things move (doubly so when a local authority is involved) it is quite likely that that dispute is still rumbling on in the background. Any agreement between MCC and the new promotion at Belle Vue is likely to be independent of that (although may be complicated by the presence of parties involved in the old promotion also being in the new promotion). I'm just getting a little anxious about the time that has elapsed since the announcement of the agreement without any news as to the identity of the new promoters. If the deal has been done, why is it still such as secret?

If you are going to be so abrupt I will not make any effort to provide you with information on the future. An apology would be appreciated.

While I would counsel caution (I was once involved in a case where it cost £300,000 to prove five people were entirely innocent) it is worth pointing out you can't libel the council. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/law-report-local-authorities-cannot-institute-libel-actions-derbyshire-county-council-v-times-1473954.html However the contractors no doubt have deep pockets and would probably be the greatest impediment to SS printing the full story.

But if that turned out to be the least worst solution I would welcome them. Indeed. The Bees may not even be the worst run in (the) Coventry (area).

British Speedway - Dead Or Alive?
arnieg replied to SarahLapworth's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Well looking at the rest of the speedway world: Poland - champions decided by play-off final Sweden - ditto Denmark - 'Superfinalen' using 4TT format determines champions Germany - champions decided by play-off final But: Russia - no playoffs (however there are only three teams in the league) Czechia - no playoffs (but all matches are 4TT involving all four teams) Finland - no playoffs (in a five team league where 4TT format is used) And as for other sports, well in NFL the Superbowl seems quite popular! -
Although I'm not sure we know what day Leicester are riding on. And what would be the impact if Coventry do not run? So it is far from cut and dried.

British Speedway - Dead Or Alive?
arnieg replied to SarahLapworth's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
Will it need planning permission? Surely it is an established use, which does not expire when the activity discontinues? -
It would also require the BSPA to decide that he was a 'fit and proper' person to hold a promoter's licence. That would be an interesting discussion to eavesdrop!

So can we get back to selecting an Aces team. (assuming Cov run) then a top 4 of Cook Fricke Worrall Worrall seems most likely (although there are other possibilities e.g. Sedgmen, Lawson) Then two of Jacobs (for the home points) Nielsen (popular in 2015) Bewley (but is three leagues too much too soon?) with Payne Smith or Phillips to fill the final spot depending on points available. Then if Cov drop out several of their team become possibilities K Bjerre and Bates on attractive averages, King who likes the track and Garrity (depending on his relationship with the new management)

Very unlikely. The 1964 NL fixture list wasn't released until mid May!!

Is Speedway Classed As An Entertainment Or A Sport?

Wimbledon Stadium: Some Important News
arnieg replied to Parsloes 1928 nearly's topic in Speedway News and Discussions
And it is not just greyhound stadiums facing the problem of development land prices in the south east. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/jan/10/kempton-park-set-to-be-bulldozed-housing-jockey-club-plans -
From 2 October programme: The Great Brits 1 Les Collins 2 Alun Rossiter 3 Kenny McKinna 4 Scott Lamb 5 Michael Coles 6 Phil Jeffrey 7 Charlie McKinna 8 Blank Euro-Roos 1 Steve Regeling 2 Mick Powell 3 Shane Bowes 4 Jan Andersen 5 David Bargh 6 Brett Saunders 7 Darek Fliegert 8 Blank The match was a 15 heat challenge with all riders having 3 programmed rides (heats 1-12) followed by 3 nominated heats
-
Worth remembering that it is only six years since Lakeside staged NL speedway - the shared 'Hackney' team, featuring Ben Morley and David Mason
-
Surely the logic is that if a rider is in demand, then signing a rider up before anyone else has to be good business. It is certainly not wise to sign too many riders before the points limit is known though.
-
Surprisingly not. In 2003 Isle of Wight tracked all three Tressarieu brothers, although never more than two at a time!
