Halifaxtiger Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I would say the best speedway I have ever witnessed happened last year in the play off finals ! doubt that will ever be repeated. As long as the racing is entertaining, good track and run well, I dont personally care which league its in... Agreed, young Mr Barton - I'll never forget it. Take it from me (as one who travelled about a bit) that Mildenhall last season was one of the best racing tracks in the country (in any league) and long may that continue. This is fantastic news for speedway tracks up and down the country. I think you are spot on here and that the implications of this landmark ruling should not be underestimated in the slightest. It means that existing speedway tracks with planning permission are almost completely safe from those who try to close them down after moving into the area. This is indeed fantastic news for Mildenhall Speedway. As the judge pointed out, when a property is purchased, the onus is on the purchasers to do their research into the local area, as part of the decision as to whether or not to make the purchase. Thankfully, common sense has prevailed, and the enjoyment of hundreds of people on a weekly basis of sport at Mildenhall stadium can continue. Fantastic for Mildenhall in particular and all speedway tracks in general. I think the crucial words you have used here are 'common sense'. My whole argument against the initial ruling was that any person who moves into a home must ensure that that home is fit for their habitation. If they do not do so, that is entirely their fault and they then cannot seek redress against any other party. As someone who reads court judgements on a daily basis, I can't remember the last time that I saw one that would so accurately reflect the views of the ordinary man in the street. Dispensing law with a strong streak of justice in it sometimes seems all too rare, but this hits the nail bang on the head.

tomcat Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 What a wonderful way to start my day..... and no I haven't just woken up, but been busy with other things and am only now free to reply. I did post on this very subject some time ago, it is also down to the selling agents to disclose any motorsports activity, ie: motorsports stadiums etc, near the vicinity of the property being purchased. Seems the judge knows his stuff... so well done to him and a massive well done to the Fen Tigers, Long May You Reign... As for these particular NIMBY's...in future, do ya homework! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ndbendpostie Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Can we get this judge to educate a few more of his colleagues on the bench, for so long the minority's wishes have won the day on technacalities, an excellent day for common senses in the British justice system, and thats something I wasnt expecting to type today.

Mr Snackette Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Whilst I'm delighted that the future of Mildenhall Stadium is more secure, I do find some of the triumphalist rantings a little distasteful. Anyone is faced with financial ruin is deserving of our sympathy, rather than the inane gloating of a few contributors. As for the absurd comment above, it is more evident that the British judicial system will assess each case on its merits. In this case clearly the JUDGES (not "this judge"........the judgement being made in the Court of Appeal) felt that the argument in favour of the Stadium was correct. Just because the verdict in this case is one with which we agree, it doesn't necessarily follow that others in the past have been wrong, be it on a technicality or not.

What complete and utter nonsense. This was completely self inflicted. A very sound judgement with far reaching implications for motorsport.

I seem to recall some 'inane gloating' on here by someone under the alias of 'justdowntheroad', when they thought the judgement would go against the stadium owners and seriously limit, or indeed finish for good, motorsport at the stadium. While I see your point about sympathy, I'm sure they, whoever they were, weren't concerned with the financial implications had the judgement gone against the stadium owners.

Sympathy up to a point, Snacky. As some have said, this could easily be seen as the self inficted actions of a selfish and grasping couple. For anyone who doesn't know the geography of this case, you simply cannot miss the stadium if you go to their house. There's only one way in and out and that goes straight past the track (as an example, its like going along Kirkmanshulme Lane and failing to spot Belle Vue). In such circumstances, I would say that the first question that any potential buyer would pose is what went on there. It seems to me its case of them blaming everyone but themselves when in fact its almost entirely their fault. As to Postie's remark, I think he has a bit of a point. Lets not forget that another judge came to a conclusion that is almost directly contrary to that issued by the court of appeal which I would say is not only right, its also pretty obvious. I seem to recall some 'inane gloating' on here by someone under the alias of 'justdowntheroad', when they thought the judgement would go against the stadium owners and seriously limit, or indeed finish for good, motorsport at the stadium. While I see your point about sympathy, I'm sure they, whoever they were, weren't concerned with the financial implications had the judgement gone against the stadium owners. Well said, Neil. I wonder what happened to him ? Choked to death on his own venom I suspect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they are is a good case for euthanasia. It's when the authorities see cretinous comments such as these, is it any surprise they have such a low opinion of speedway fans in general. Agreed that the people who brought this action were poorly advised, and as a result are in all probability financially ruined. To suggest they should be put to death is a deeply offensive moronic comment, for which you should be ashamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing you were one of those sad people who made a complaint about jermey clarksons comments as well, you really need to have your sense of humour by pass operation reversed.

Agreed. The only cretins here are those who moved in next door to a Motorsports stadium that had been operating for over 30 years and tried to use bullyboy NIMBYism and a frivilous court action to destroy a local amenity. If they're financially ruined and never able to do such a thing again, then I'll drink to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guess wrong!!! Mind you if you regard Jeremy Clarkson (I assume that's who you mean!!) as a comedic role model, then I would suggest you need more than a by-pass.....probably a full frontal lobe lobotomy!!!! .......The only cretins here are those who moved in next door to a Motorsports stadium that had been operating for over 30 years and tried to use bullyboy NIMBYism and a frivilous court action to destroy a local amenity.......

John Leslie Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 It doesn't That's good to know. You were obviously confused. I said I would be happy if the couple were financially ruined.

It really isn't that tricky.....aithough for some it appears it is!! To avoid further confusion it may helpful if John distanced himself from WIE-JA's cretinous remarks Edited February 29, 2012 by Mr Snackette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
