keyham Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Sainsburys Marshmills built completely on Marsh reclaimed land. http://www.panoramio.com/photo/4995193 and the little map on the right shows just how close it still is to the tide line. Brain cells do come in useful when used properly. And as you are well aware the Speedway track is just across the road still on the same MARSH LAND.

Massey Harris Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 This is an incredible picture, it must have been taken the night Berwick visited last year. If you look close enough you can just make out someone running from the bar with their trousers down ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilforever Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 and the supermarket in question is different to the one that is bidding for the old bowling site dah brain cells in use to realise there is more than one supermarket chain and of course they could build at SBA if sufficient land drainage was put in (something that was offered to your Dad at the cost of a coupole of hundred pound but he declined the offer) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonny the spud Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bearing in mind Boris Johnson wants to build an airport in the middle of the Thames estuary and Hong Kong's Chek Lap Kok (honestly it's not a lap dancing thing) airport was built with land reclamation in the middle of the sea. I shouldn't think that a bit of flooding is a problem for civil engineers to overcome? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewy Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Believe what you want!!!!! Why would anyone build on land that floods? Doh use your brain babs as keyham has demonsrated you can build on land that is prone to flooding,surely an apology from your good self wouldnt go amiss or you going to go quiet for a while like you usually do when your proven to be wrong!

Barbie392 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm not denying it was done when they built Sainsburys. That is not what this discussion is about its about a proposed possible supermarket being built at the SBA it's rubbish nothing but rumours. The college will make a decision one way or the other end of. But at this moment in time, my father still runs and is the promoter for Plymouth.

Fingers crossed the college will sell to the consortium for a reasonable price and we can look forward and get back the severel hundred supporters that wont come back again while the present promotion has anything to do with it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I take it Dave when they say they want to sell the land that will include the rugby pitch, and if it do that will double the area the track is on, thats a big piece of land to make a great speedway arena, i just hope they get the deal they want from the college.

Neil S Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I refer all reading the forum to my post of Oct 21st - " Â Any developments regarding Plymouth speedway need to be seen along with the widely reported financial issues reported in the press towards the end of 2011 for the landowner. If I had surplus land and a shortfall I'd be looking to rationalise my assets, serve reasonable notice using any potential break clauses in the leasing arrangements and sell the land to the highest bidder ( probably a supermarket chain...). So disapointing as it is - with 2 years to run on the lease, the landowners might seem to have some reasonable grounds for calling it a day and advising speedway that they should be grateful for what they've had. Add in a bit of concern about the nature of the promotion and its hard to see speedway in Plymouth having a long -term future... " Â So no surprises in the information thats surfaced in the press today, - the next point to face up to is " who has got the deeper pockets - supermarket chains ? housing developers or the " 4-man consortium". Sad to say I think we all know the answers........pure commercial reality. Like the County Ground in Exeter it might be possible to limp on for the odd year or two but .... Â And the most pleasure I could take from this would be if I was totally wrong.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
