ch958 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Just like you have I guess . yawn - haven't you got any ideas of your own On this thread as well as previous ones relating to this project, I've consistently stated that I support the idea of a National Speedway Stadium, especially if it's to be situated in a city with as much speedway heritage as Manchester. However, I've also consistently stated I've no confidence whatsoever in the ability of Dave Gordon or Chris Morton to oversee this project's development or be involved heavily in its successful operation should it ever be built. You may think that's a "cowardly and negative stance" ... I reckon it's a realistic view of where the project's reached (or more often, not reached) so far along with information I've weighed up from various angles. We'll gradually find out who's right and who's wrong ... what's more, I won't be afraid to congratulate everyone if it turns out we're enjoying an English Grand Prix or a World Cup Final at this stadium in a few years' time. Right now, and based overwhelmingly on the evidence I've seen so far, I don't expect to be making such congratulations. this is the type of post i mean and i'm not gloating i just would have liked some positivity but as i said before it is being built so there is a happy ending Edited December 8, 2014 by ch958 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ch958 Posted December 8, 2014 Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 Or this one . yes you've cleverly taken an excerpt - i was explaining why people were complaining - i posited that they had invited criticism, however unwarranted by over hyping some small progress that had been made cheap shot I'll tell you what - to end this conversation how's this: I am as bad, nay worse, than the naysayers who poo pooed this right from the start - I am a very bad person who was nothing but optimistic I'm really sorry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil The Ace Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 A digger as. Let's wait till thy start digging before getting all excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvm Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Just out curiosity, what is the timescale for building? I believe League racing is planned for the 2016 season, but I was wondering if the track would be usable, say for the Riders Championship in October 2015? or is 9 months to soon.

I suppose it all depends on the weather and anymore delays we may have. I'd say we won't be ready for this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's wait till thy start digging before getting all excited I'm not getting excited - but - I AM very pleased that the Stadium is going ahead.

I'd say we won't be ready for this year Pity, it would fill the criteria of being neutral and a grand opening event, a win, win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waiheke1 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 If not a peter craven memorial meeting at the start of 2016 would seem an appropriate way of opening the stadium. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Just looked at those pics. Can't believe they got planning permission that close to housing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
