Norfolk Bear Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Of course its not. They want the placed to be trashed/burned down/windows smashed/graffitti/ rats etc. It makes it easier in their minds to get pp for houses. The council seem very weak. They should have stood up to Brandon estates and told them it is and will be a sporting venue only. No houses full stop. The council backing means nothing, Cleveland Park at Middlesbrough was under a covenant that the land could only be used for sporting use. That was until Tony Bliar funded a new college next to it . The covenant was then as much use as used Andrex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money talks and nothing else matters, that seems to be the way of things these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So very, very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Private land though isn't it so I doubt the Police would want to get involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A ORLOV Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 Private land though isn't it so I doubt the Police would want to get involved? Trespass is a civil law, so nothing to do with the police. The breaking in is a police matter but the gypos who are there never "break in" the door is always "unlocked" by other gypos before they turn up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woz01 Posted July 10, 2017 Report Share Posted July 10, 2017 (edited) The meeting is on Friday 28th July - not Saturday 29th.So it is, cheers. Convinced it was the Saturday! It seems the line up will be riders that have history with the bees. Rye House not riding so may see Bomber, Nicholls etc. Edited July 10, 2017 by woz01 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish we could hear some good news for a change. Allowing Travellers to settle at Brandon can only bring further destruction to the Stadium on top of that already committed by others.

oleoleole Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 We can't get our speedway fix at Brandon anymore but everybody is welcome at the NSSC. Come and have a chat with friendly faces from the Brandon terraces and keep in touch with all the latest gossip. We are delighted that Max Fricke, one of the sport's brightest prospects and one of the busiest riders has found time in his diary to be our guest tomorrow night, Thursday 20th July The meeting will start at 8pm and finish around 10-ish, with plenty of time afterwards to stop and chat. There's a good (& cheap) bar which also sells hot drinks and snacks. We meet at the Brandon Club, just down the road from the stadium; Main Street Brandon Coventry CV8 3HW All money raised on the night goes to help Neil Vatcher and the GB Young Lions. Entry for non-members is £3. For everything you need to know about the NSSC: https://www.nuneatonspeedwaysupportersclub.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbo Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 Last personal post 10th of the month only NSSiC on since trying to placate the Bees supporters. We are falling into just what Brandon Estates expected, another 12 months and Speedway in Coventry will be forgotten. I don't know the answer perhaps there isn't one. Feel by now we should be receiving some sort of update from the Save our Speedwsy friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel by now we should be receiving some sort of update from the Save our Speedwsy friends. 10th July they have us an update about having regular meetings with councils etc. I for one don't want regular updates telling us not a lot. We had constant updates from the people who put us in this position during the winter and look where that got us. Members are at the NSSC meetings if you want to ask them anything.

abbo Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) I fully agree with you since the start of these problems throughout the winter now well into the 17 season all we get is assurances that the utmost is being done but no indication who has been consulted i.e. Rugby Council, councillor Stokes, Brandon Estates!! Surely there must be something positive/negative but nothing. Sorry if people reading this are critical there has been little forthcoming. I appreciate that well intentioned people are engaged in discussions but unless there is something disclosed any interested supporters will just fade away and Brandon Estates will have achieved what they set out to achieve!
