hammer1969 Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 They do leave by the pit gate then down the concreted road that leads mainly to and from the kart track but they still have to negotiate the crater at the car park entrance, I see the ambulance coming in the gate at the meetings and they bounce about as much as my poor little car.

Hob Nob Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 None of the promised Improvements to the stadium so do you really think there will be Improvements to the car park? More chance of me marrying Cilla Black!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point though is actions speak louder than words. I hear lots of words but see NO action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim3751 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 I think the stadium, Speedway and kartrack, is owned by Lea Valley Regional Park Authority and Warren Scott/Len Silver lease the stadium from them, hopefully on a 99 year lease. I would have thought if the state of the car park is the responsibility of the leaseholders then Scott/Silver and the pub if included should get it sorted, if it's the owners of the land's responsibility then Scott/Silver should get onto Lea Valley Authority to sort it, if they are proper businessmen all the details of who is responsible for what should be clearly set out in the lease. If a rider is badly injured and has to be taken out in the ambulance I don't think the holes, or should I say 'crater' at the entrance would do much to help their injuries. A huge amount of development has been carried out on the kart track in recent years and I wondered where the money had come from. Who was responsible for that.

Hob Nob Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 What is it you actually want? At the beginning of the season we was going to have a grass bank (now weeds) Draft Beer (still cans) Stands along the top of the bank on bends 1/2 (hasn't happened) My Wifes complained about the toilets leaking several times (still leaking) I just want some faith In what the management is telling me & not empty promises. Also I've seen Steve Web down at Sittingbourne the last 3 weeks, is he still at Rye as well or has he been binned too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Len Silver was the one who said there would be improvements week by week if I recall correctly, not Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bolly Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Being a wet Bank Holiday afternoon with no speedway. I looked on the Lea Valley Regional Park Website and their plans for the future of Rye House Stadium. 'Rye House Stadium to continue as an area of leisure activities but with substantial environmental improvements including landscaping, facility modernisation and measures that reduce noise pollution. The impact of the site on the rest of the Proposal area to be reduced and the appearance of the site from the Navigation, the New River and Rye House Gatehouse to be improved. Rye House Stadium is currently in a poor state of repair and has an adverse impact on the Lee Navigation and adjoining high quality historic and nature conservation sites. The enhancement of this site is integral to providing an improved waterway corridor and enhanced Park entrance. The site’s proximity to future residential development (beyond the Regional Park) will require higher environmental standards.' Maybe Len was getting pressure from Freehold Owners and decided to bring in Warren Scott to shell out all the cash required, cannot see it being a quick win in financial terms, so must be looking to try to change use or be in it for the long term ? PS. Whenever I have approached Warren at Rye House, he has stopped and given answers to questions and appears to be genuinely interested in the Speedway team ???

hammer1969 Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Re the bit "measures to reduce noise pollution" let's all hope that doesn't mean Rye ends up with the same problem Mildenhall has. Some of these Planning Officers want to take a look at the noise coming from motorways/main roads etc. which are built next to residential areas before they start trying to take away places to entertainment, we don't all want to go to football matches/cinema/shopping centres for our entertainment. If a speedway track was in existance before houses were built it should be allowed to continue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobMcCaffery Posted September 8, 2015 Report Share Posted September 8, 2015 Historically the only noise complaints received at Rye House related to the karts, not the speedway. Of course times change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
