graz gp Posted July 29, 2018 Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 What's going to happen at Owlerton when they built the new banqueting suit. Its going to be built were the first bend is. They as going to demolish the Hare and Hounds bar and build a 5 million banqueting suit. According to the local press planning permission as already be given and they hope to start in early August. Will their still be a standing area on the first bend for us speedway fans. If not, i can see a lot of speedway fans being very unhappy. We will have to watch our speedway from another part of the stadium it will be the 3rd and 4th bends or the home straight, unless provision is made on the first bend but I don't think the speedway fans will be top of their list, but I could be wrong. Could this put the future of speedway at Owlerton in any doubt. Any thoughts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted July 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited)  Had a look at the planning permission on Sheffield Council site https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=documents&keyVal=P7A0P4NY0M900 https://planningapps.sheffield.gov.uk/online-applications/files/0820088FA51C393FAC6C93C7F89441CE/pdf/18_01458_FUL-EXISTING_PROPOSED_PLANS___ELEVATIONS-1216942.pdf Looks like there will be a new standing area around the first turn. The Promotion would have been made aware of the proposal when they signed the new lease earlier in the year so it wouldn't affect the Tigers running. Wish A&S would do something with the back straight terrace though,something like the stand on the back straight  at Belle Vue would be a improvement.

Surprised that Sheffield haven't given him longer to be honest , he looked reasonable for a national league rider and on the pace when he made a guest appearance for a visiting team at the showground earlier in the season. Unless there are others reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romans lovechild Posted July 31, 2018 Report Share Posted July 31, 2018 if you think about it,georgie has been travelling from down south for home meetings,with little reward pointswise,has a young family and could have lost his driver for this season,we dont know, i would think it has been more of georgies doing than the promotions, and lawlor in the side we will not have to pay any loan fees as we are developing one of our own assets,and giving a young brit a team place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCookie Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Isn't it the cut-off this weekend? Tell Bjerre he's dropped after riding last night, therefore making him essentially unemployable? Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Kasper Andersen and Mountain for Bjerre and Lawlor? Jesus christ. Bjerres probably their best home rider, why the hell would they get rid of him and replace him with Andersen who will struggle to average 4.50?! Madness. they seem to of lost the plot at Sheffield!

Desperate move to get anyone bar Bjerre? Mountain for Lawlor is a very good move as well. Maybe they asked for dispensation to get a Leicester rider in and panicked when they couldn't?
