naffer Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Horton seems to have the impression of getting a track down and put a temporary stand or two up while they work on other areas of the stadium. Me personally id rather they take there time and get it right and if that means going to Leicester for half or a full season then so be it. And listening to jeremy heavers interview ,with the things they are having to do to be eco friendly putting up temporary stands would not be meeting the green requirements .

Coventry_Bee Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Assuming the track/stadia get the go ahead, would it be such a chore to ride at Leicester for part of the 2017 season? Better than not riding, and just waiting for the stadium? Wolverhampton gets my choice !! Garrity, king and Harris go very well there. Unless the digging at Leicester has suddenly made it an ok track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-shaping work, which apart from moving the kerbs, adjusting the rake of the banking etc. It also means completely renewing the drains!!!! So its a bit more than a bit of digging. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argos Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Track share will not work just ask the Cradley promotion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedibee Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yes. Would be interesting to know who does own the stadium now. Wasn't one of Sandhu's partners being chased by HMRC for considerable amounts of money? Rumour at the time was that Sandhu had set up a new company and "sold" the stadium to himself to stop HMRC getting hold of it.. Sandhu had the pay HMRC the money the partner he swore he didnt have owed , and with that became the sole owner ,and confrimed Liar Wolverhampton gets my choice !! Garrity, king and Harris go very well there. Unless the digging at Leicester has suddenly made it an ok track. Cant imagine Wolverhampton is an option , ladbrokes chucked cradley out for a year because they only wanted speedway 1 night a week , so unlkely to go for 3 nights a week , geographically B.ham is nearest Track share will not work just ask the Cradley promotion Works fine sharing with Wolves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game On Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 So if the Bees have to ground share with Leicester for example next year, how will that work with a fixed race night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 So if the Bees have to ground share with Leicester for example next year, how will that work with a fixed race night. Shouldn't be a problem as there will be 2 nights. Leicester will obviously get the choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ovalfan Posted February 13, 2016 Report Share Posted February 13, 2016 I just dont understand how they are so confident they will be building on brandon. No application has been put in yet and may not get agreed? For sure its very hard to get permission for anything in this area. Even a small development over the road at garden centre was refused? And what happens if planning for houses is refused? Surely permission would be needed to just demolish the current site. Are the hangers not protected in some way. And the proposed new build being an eco site sounds like it would push up costs. Cant see those being met. If sandhu wanted return on investment by selling brandon why put money in a new build that would see him long gone from this world before it started to make profit. Hope the bees and stox find a way to keep going but im not hopeful from what ive read so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it is listed (which is why that became an issue at Oxford) demolition does not require planning permission. The problem for any property developer is that as you point out considerably smaller developments have been turned down because of lack of road infrastructure. My guess is that any prospective developers will get permission only when they provide a large contribution towards upgrading the road network.

Demolition does not require planning but it needs permission from the council to carry it out also the stands at Coventry are mainly asbestos by the look of them this can cause problems as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woz01 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 One for the Bees promotion, was we asked to compete in the World Speedway League event in Berlin? The reason I ask is we were losing finalists in 2014 and Kings Lynn got the spot for finishing 2nd yet in 2015 we finished 2nd but Belle Vue got the spot? Wasn't this pushed forward by Matt Ford and now doesn't even want to compete in it? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
