stevebrum Posted May 23, 2015 Report Share Posted May 23, 2015 I am afraid that this is the sorry state of British EL speedway they are now really struggling to even make up 8 teams of 5 riders, without having to have PL riders doubling up to fill the places. Poland have 8 teams and Sweden 7 in there top leagues and Sweden have riders doubling up. It might make more sense if you said the problem was Europe wide thru lack of riders. The EL is falling in line with Europe although not by choice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justathought Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Has SCB heard anymore about his parking ticket at Leicester? Think he has probably exceeded the 2 minute time rule by now ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 (edited) Has SCB heard anymore about his parking ticket at Leicester?Got another letter a few days ago telling me that "the requirements" of schedule 4 of the protection of freedoms act mean they can now chase me as registered keeper because I have not provided a driver name. I'm ignoring that letter too. The thriving hits cannot change £85 for staying in a free car park for an extra 30 minutes! They lost no money as the car park is free They're now threatening court action. I look forward to that, going to court, winning and getting my expenses paid. It'll cost them more than £85 if it goes to court as my daily rate at work is more than double that Edited May 24, 2015 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justathought Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Under The Protection of Freedoms Act 2012, landowners can hire third-party parking attendants to hand out charges, though they can no longer clamp. What these private firms do not advertise is that they are not legally allowed to fine or penalise drivers for misusing private land – they can only impose a charge for potential losses or damages. And under the 1999 Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts Regulations, the sum they demand must be deemed ‘fair and reasonable.’ This means you can stand firm against rogue firms demanding £100 or more in parking charges, and they are unlikely to take you to court as the costs of doing so usually outweigh the potential gains.

SCB Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 Exactly. What do people think is a fair amount to change someone for parking too long in a free car park? I say nothing and I'm a court would too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 It seems stupid to me that there is so much land around BP that resembles a WW2 bombsite, that if the Council had any sense, would turn all the land into carparking, because all the bull that has been put forth over the last few years, about what was going to happen to the area, is still how it wa when the stadium was built. They huffed and puffed about building a beladrome for so long that British Cyclying said stuff this and went and built it in Derby. There was talk about a skate board park/cycle park. Think that is the grassy bit at the far end with the dirt tracks going up and down it. Footbal grounds, somewhere in amounst the rubble and long grass. At least if it was covered in tarmac it would be flat and weed free. Plus folks like SCB would not be getting tickets for parking in a so called free car park. It looks like DH may have rubbed them up the wrong way after the letters they sent him last year for failing to abide with planning applications. Plus having to fix sound barriers, or sheets of plywood bhind the grandstand, because of the noise levels from there. So who hears the noise, the shoppers, the birds and the bees. That is about all. Such a waste of space, the council could even make some money out of it with ticket machines, charing to park there, 4 hours a £1 anything over that, the £85 charge as is the case with SCB. Never have held much faith in Leicter Council though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is it DH's fault that the British Cycling Club and the football promoter/business pulled out? It was in the middle of a bleeding whopping recession!!! I bet DH wishes he had not gone through the mill to build the speedway, and saved his dosh.. The amount of grief he gets on here, I sometimes wonder why he just doesn't shut it down and say "up yours" to everyone on here that constantly slags him and the speedway off! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherwatcher Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I was not getting at DH but the coucil, they had so many plans for the area and nothing has become of it. The whole area needs a good tidy up, as it is the coucils land they are responsible for it not DH It was also the council who dithered about that lost the beledrome. If you had read the post right in the first place you would see what I wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wandersome Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 (edited) second thoughts on that post... not sure i can be bothered any more. but the jist was if DH just shut the speedway stadium down wouldn't the business rates still need to paid by the owner of the complex but it would now be unused and have no income stream at all.

mdmc82 Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Shocking to see that Bridger has quit after one meeting. He made lots of fuss slagging off Coventry when they wouldn't give him a free ride and buy all his engines and equipment for him but we really had a lucky escape. Feel sorry for the Leicester manager who has helped him out and given him a chance only for him to let down the team & the fans. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theflyingkiwi Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 very sad to hear about Bridger. people should be slow to judge. I think self-restraint is needed on here and elsewhere Bridger was quick enough to slag off the Coventry management as Mdmc points out. As a professional sportsman he will always face criticism and rightly so if he is pulling out of a meeting four hours before it's meant to start. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
