DonRacer Posted August 31, 2015 Report Share Posted August 31, 2015 Planning request gone in for a monster jam at Twickenham stadium. Nicer part of the world than Wembley. If that gets granted then speedway should be straight forward. Vested interest for me as I am 20 minutes by train. Second GP or World Cup final?

Eglese 19 Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 Been said before but with Cardiff I doubt we'll ever see another event of a similar scale in the UK at the same time. The world cup is a bit different but still it could detract away from the showpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blazeaway Posted September 1, 2015 Report Share Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) What we need is a National Speedway Stadium to host the World Cup. Oh, wait a minute... Edited September 1, 2015 by Blazeaway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second GP or World Cup final?Having been on the Planning Committee for Twickenham until last year I'd be very doubtful it will get through. The local residents groups are very vocal about the strictly limited approvals for other events. (Typically a max of four music events per year). There is also a big head of steam building up against the suggestion that Chelsea might relocate to Twickers during redevelopment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if a GP ever comes to London, it won't be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
