Starman2006 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 These days single use stadiums don't work. The cost of land means you need to have the stadium working as many days of the week as possible. If we could get some sort of tie in stadium with Wasps it'd be brilliant - probably suit then as "we" would cover some of the costs - either upfront as co-owners or over time as tenants paying rent. If e can get in at the start it can be built to suit rather than shoe-horned in later is as generally the case. These days single use stadiums don't work. Perhaps you should ask some of the clubs the same question in the PL.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Sounds like a brilliant race for Danny king in heat 1 at Ipswich tonight. Off 15m for breaking the tapes and yet still went from last to first to win the race. Only just off the track record as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) Scunthorpe?So the club that's about to close down? Abs they've certainky had stock cars in the past of they don't any more. I can only think of Somerset that is only speedway. And that's a track in a field. Hardly a stadium. Edited July 16, 2015 by SCB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Leicester & peterborough And plymouth! Leicester are EL. Peterborough is a showground and they';re often turfed out as short notice as something else is taking place and Plymouth is a school field. Hardly stand alone!

It's like living in the dark ages. we will never move forward when we have the, "well we manage" attitude. You won't manage when there are no teams to race against! I don't and won't stand in a field to watch Speedway, the wider market don't want to either! Edited July 16, 2015 by Jacques Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmc82 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) A go fundme has been set up (by fans) for anybody who would like to show their support to the riders & club and donate towards the fines the SCB has shamefully handed out. Riders safety should always come first http://tw.gofund.me/zjgz8s Edited July 16, 2015 by mdmc82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Peterborough is a showground and they';re often turfed out as short notice as something else is taking place........ The short notice this time was the Scunthorpe match on July 12th but why on earth this date was given I don't know because even I knew almost 12 months ago that a big dog show was taking place that weekend because we always go. Well they've got fair warning for 2016 as 'Just Dogs Live' is on 8th/9th/10th of July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riders safety should always come first http://tw.gofund.me/zjgz8s £10 raised in 9 hours! They were rightly fined for not going out to race! Don't use the rider safety card when there were 9 heats previous to it in the same conditions! The meeting should never have started but it did. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 (edited) £10 raised in 9 hours! They were rightly fined for not going out to race! Don't use the rider safety card when there were 9 heats previous to it in the same conditions! The meeting should never have started but it did.The previous 9 heats were not in similar conditions. Once an official says he will inspect the track after heat 9 a management has every right not to send riders out until said inspection is done. If the official then passes the track as rideable then yes riders should go out but not before the inspection happened. It was all to get to heat 10 asap. We will hear more at the meeting on the 23rd July regarding what's going on with Brandon or a new stadium.

If the thousands that pack the Brandon terraces each week gave £1 each then they would be at 8k before they know it. They would even have some extra cash to send Bomber on a reeding and riting course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesboybert Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Ridiculous to have a gofundme page. The fans were already cheated out of money by seeing 9 and a half heats instead of 15, and now someone wants them to come up with more money? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they've got fair warning for 2016 as 'Just Dogs Live' is on 8th/9th/10th of July. A BIG dog show taking place? What about the rights of the medium and small dogs? Are they being penalised just because of their size? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdmc82 Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Been 3 days now and still only £10 raised!! Don't think he really let people know he was doing it. Just a tweet on his Twitter account which most bees fans won't have seen. A collection at the track may have been better. Been 3 days now and still only £10 raised!!
