Cradley Return 2008?


Recommended Posts

Given the circumstances I hope I can be forgiven bending the boundaries of this section.

 

I'm hoping to reach out to any foreign speedway fans that use this section of BSF, but don't necessarily frequent other areas of the site.

 

As some of you will be aware Cradley Heath Speedway are working hard to secure a return to competitive action. The time has come for us to petition the local Council to consider favourably a planning application that is due to be submitted soon.

 

The petition can be found, and signed, by following the link below.

 

http://www.gopetition.co.uk/petitions/brin...y-speedway.html

 

We already have a number of signatures from speedway fans in Poland, Sweden, Denmark, Slovenia, Germany, Italy, Ireland, Malta, Australia and The U.S.

 

My hope is that some of our members will be able to raise awareness in their country, and perhaps post the link on local forums/websites.

 

If you are able to do so please post here to let me know, and I'll pass on the details to the club representatives.

 

Thanks

Chris :)

So, here's the 'International Speedway' Petition Challenge then...

 

How many countries can we get represented with signatures to Bring Back Cradley Speedway.

 

If your country is not in the list below, or you know someone who can bring another nation to our list, then we need your help.

 

Here's the petition address to sign up:

And here's the countries represented so far:

 

Australia

Canada

Denmark

Germany

Ireland

Italy

Malta

Netherlands

Norway

Poland

Slovenia

Sweden

UK

USA

 

That's 14 different countries. But no-one yet from New Zealand, Finland, Hungary, France, Latvia, Spain, Czech Republic... all are possibilities surely?

 

Spread the word!

Please note that this list is just for additional information. The total number of signatures is what is really important. If you see your country represented please do not think that we don't want or need your signature. Every single signature we collect will help.

 

Thanks for you time. It's very much appreciated. :)
