I don't think the EAGM happened... they just sailed blindly on towards the iceberg

Sounds feasible doesn't it

I think he was getting at there's no ideas or leadership in place to do anything other than the status quo, it's been proven time and again

You should see my wet farts 😂

Sounds like you're asking somebody to make some numbers up to challenge the numbers you've made up, is that right? As the numbers are not in the public domain you may be waiting for a while.

I seriously doubt any 2026 CL club would want to go PL in 2027, especially with no tv deal... I think that's just BSPL hoping a CL club takes leave of their senses and makes the move up... which just isn't going to happen, like it's not happened for the 2026 season.

It's quite unfathomable that something that has been proven over the years to not work (and that was with a TV deal) and gotten us to the place that we are today... is something that they're striving (to ridiculous fantasy proportions) to keep!

Very much so, in fact that very phrase was used... smh

He said the he requested an emergency AGM last June/July as he could see this coming They met in Barnsley 7 or 8 weeks ago under the impression everything was agreed... until a couple of weeks later it wasn't He thinks something will be put in place (PL & CL) to get through 2026 with a view to a 6PL 8CL in 2027 He expects and is confident that Ippo will be sold and continue in PL Sheffield not even mentioned! The 2026 league will not be a perfect league (that's an understatement!)

1,000,000% that 👆! Not one of them had the foresight to have any kind of plan in place as to what to do if/when the tv deal came to an end. The remaining PL promoters are in a state of complete denial. The desperation shown in trying to get a 6th club has been beyond embarrassing. There's been absolutely no leadership from the top, with 2 of them jumping the burning ship.

The NPPF is just that though a policy framework, I don't know if it's legally binding, does the Coventry decision make it legally binding. Policies can change easily and 10 years of policy seem to have been ignored at Coventry. Can see this one going to the courts again.

I'm assuming it'll just be comments on the last few seasons... as clearly nobody is allowed to comment on the future 🤷‍♂️

Now the tenants are out, it's best for land owners to keep it that way. The provision of an alternative venue for Panthers to run at as contained in the NPPF and Local Plans has not really helped Coventry in the last 10 years. It's going to be another long haul

Set your alarm clocks! Broadcast Time Confirmed! Team Manager Stewart Dickson will be on BBC Radio Leicester tomorrow at 7.10am. Think you’ll miss it? You can catch it afterwards using the Listen Again feature on the BBC Radio Leicester website.

So who is the successor to Doris Stokes and Derek Acorah and how do we get them involved. They'd be more use than Harry Redknapp! ... Doris Stokes, one for the kids there 😂

I think it's called a circular firing squad

It was okay but they had to get the races completed before the sequence went back to red again at which point the race was stopped 🚦😜😂

Looks like arses and elbows were involved somewhere... 🎙️ Radio Leicester Update Team Manager Stewart Dickson will be pre-recording an interview with Ady Dayman this morning at 10am. 🔜 The show will air tomorrow – broadcast time to be confirmed.

... or, our top division doesn't suit a league with top class riders 🤔

Long Eaton... during the 90's

He must be confident of putting at least 300 paying adults on his crowd numbers every week then, even when the tv cameras aren't there, to mitigate the loss of tv money... which begs the question why hasn't he done this already 🤷‍♂️

Surely it would have to be at the point of Ippo and/or Sheffield not being sold, which must be by the new AGM date I'd have thought.

The CL seem pretty sorted, the only question for me is are PL going to run with 3, 4 or 5 and if not will they be "allowed" into the CL. 9 CL clubs vs 3, 4 or 5 PL clubs, without a TV deal, puts the PL in a tremendously weak position. It doesn't matter how "fully committed" Leicester are to Premiership racing as written in their statement today, that commitment could be severely tested if the other 2, 3 or 4 clubs aren't also committed. Talk of a sixth club is clearly pie in the sky stuff, along with a new TV deal and the saviour of British Speedway... Harry Redknapp.

Tomorrow morning on BBC Radio Leicester! Team Manager Stewart Dickson will be live on air with Ady Dayman, talking all things Leicester Speedway. 📻 Tune in at 10am. Not quite sure what he's got to say 🤷‍♂️

Yes, this was a straight copy and paste from the British Speedway press release. Brian Havelock was a bit before my time to remember as a rider, I remember him more of as a manager. Newcastle were never really a "glamour" club through my time following 2nd tier Speedway, so he never really resonated with me. My overriding memory of him was his appearance in a TV documentary commenting on the death of a rider (was it Wayne Garratt?). He certainly put a shift in to our sport as a rider, manager, promoter and fan and father. Condolences to all affected.
