A welcome return to a management thinking about how they can generate their own viability, by supplying something we want to buy and enjoy. This has been sorely missing in the last 8 years

If this was to ever get out of the planning stage it would of course be great for the town and the area, bit of a worry however that there is no mention, at this stage, of speedway being part of the plans.

For the facilities its offering its a bit far out of town is it not? Speedway could just stay at Shielfield and make a decent shaped track without the football to worry about .Will it ever happen though!

This story comes around from time to time, so far without ever seeing a brick in the ground. If, and it is an if, this gets off the ground I doubt speedway would stay at Shielfield, think about how much the Council would make by re-developing the site for housing.

Councillors would never force speedway out of Berwick as it brings visitors to the town for FIM events and also because they'd face being voted out if they didnt publicly support Bandits. Any redevelopment would need to include a future for speedway.

Not sure how much the site would be worth for housing - there is already three big sites in the town with planning permission which aren't being developed because there isn't the money in it for the housebuilders. This is Berwick not London.

You should not be confident about what councillors will or will not do . For instance in Peterborough the council allowed 79 properties to be served with eviction notices so they could rehouse homeless people ,The place is called ST MICHAELS GATE . So don't tell me how good your councillors are there mostly 2 faced and out to line there pockets at your expence
