As us yokels know houses start from 200 grand up at that there Blunsdon. Not one complaint was made before. Lee was great with the fans at the Shabbey, a real buzz around the place, culminating in the champions titles in 2017/19. Fingers crossed for something positive for those fanatical Tangerine Army fans, with those tracks closing recently. A club statement would be good PR.

As I recall, the problem at Mildenhall wasn't with race meetings themselves but with noise from the stadium at 2 or 3 in the morning from Banger racing people. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as I recall the RAF airbase that made it impossible to get noise measures from just the speedway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattK Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 I'm so out of the loop, what were the last approved plans? The last I remember is that the "new" stadium was going in place of the old one, which suggests it needs to be demolished before anything else can be erected (fnarr).

From what I can gather, they are keeping the track as it is, putting a few modular buildings around it and knocking the rest down. I think the plan was to do one side as a time and keep the other open, then do the other side once the first is finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noggin Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) From what I've read, the tapes are moving to the opposite side, so would assume the it's a case of demolishing the unused back straight building and assembling new building there, pits also moving to opposite side, fingers crossed we see more activity now.

Yes mate they are moving pits because the existing one is next to someone's back door. So doubt if they will demolish main stand before next year???

Tbh, I don't see the point of demolishing a perfectly good stand, I get replacing the back one to accommodate new one with ref box etc as start line moving, more facilities the better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluenose Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 [ Yes mate they are moving pits because the existing one is next to someone's back door. ] Looking at Google maps,they built that house so close to the pits on purpose!, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
