Let's hope for the best.

We can possibly take some solace from the fact that the Ex Garden centre opposite the stadium has had a housing development refused, but when are the various parties involved going to blink on this one.

We have been kept waiting for news on a possible site for ages, fingers crossed this is the news wozzer updated us on.

I am still amazed that the People behind the housing at Brandon haven't submitted an application to Rugby BC .

 

I do have a horrible feeling we are going to fade away ,but cling on to the hope that somehow we don't, however ludicrous that is.

 

Up the Bees.

I've been on this site but nothing suggest any news this week ?

Its in the comments about the group talking to Rugby Council about the local plan.

 

Sorry its on the Coventry Speedway facebook page not the Save Cov Speedway one.

Great news if it all comes off - do you reckon we can get it built before Swindon's new stadium?!! ;)

 

A smaller, purpose built stadium will have lots of benefits, not least the fact that the overheads for the stadium should be much lower making it more viable for the smaller crowds at meetings these days.

Just listened to it and Jeremy Heaver sounds quite positive. Only 6 houses within a mile of the site and wants it eco friendly, solar panels, reuse water LED lights etc. He wants us fans to soon write to Rugby Council to show that it's wanted by both Coventry and Rugby locals. Both councils have both been involved. Plans have also already been drawn up.

I really hope this happens. But having watched speedway since I was 11, i know not to believe anything until it is phyiscally being built. Hope you can get a lot of people behind it so there is a demand for it to happen. Poole vs Coventry meetings are the first ones I look for on the fixture list so have my fingers crossed for you.

Thanks Lisa.

 

Do you come up to Brandon when Poole are riding against Coventry? If so, can you give Matt Ford a lift? ;)

Telegraph reveals a bit more. The land is owned by Coventry City Council but its under Rugby Council jurisdiction and they understand the land is between Binley Woods and Tollbar island. Horton also thinks that if the deal is done within 6 months they can get a track down and have temporary stand(s)so we can race in Coventry next season. Im assuming thats while the build other parts of the stadium which might not be possible to do?

40,000???? When was that then?

 

The capacity was 40,000 and many on hear will confirm that the BLRC had many meetings when the stadium was ram jam full.

Listen on radio Coventry & Warwickshire about site for new stadium, Jeremy Heaver states that a site has been found and an 'ECO' stadium to be built! :t:
