A mate of mine that lives in nearby Broxbourne popped in to the 'stadium' yeaterday. The speedway circuit has disappeared and the foundations for the new astroturf pitches are being laid. Not good news for those trying to save the track. What a crying shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triple.H. Posted January 8, 2021 Report Share Posted January 8, 2021 Really enjoyed my visits to Rye House over the years from sunny sundays in the NNL, to King Cinder, then after Oxford closing going 4 or 5 times a year dependent on opposition, football and gigs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Racin Jason 72 Posted January 10, 2021 Report Share Posted January 10, 2021 I would urge everyone who reads this thread to please object. We have lost far too many tracks and can’t afford to lose anymore. You never know it could be your local track next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianbuck Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 Sent off my objection yesterday. To anyone feeling that they are not very articulate, be aware that there is no need to give a reason for your objection. It is enough to just say "I object to this application and urge your committee to reject it." That's what we advised people to do in respect of the planning application to get Birmingham up and running again in 2007. When the application came up for discussion all that the planning officer stated at the meeting was that x-number of objections and x-number of letters of support had been received. His written report mentioned a few of the reasons for both objections and supports - but only a few. We (Birmingham Supporters' Club) printed several hundred blanks which included just the Planning Application reference number, and asked everyone to just write in their name and address and then write in the space below "I support this application, and ask the Planning Committee to please approve it." We then placed them all in individual envelopes and delivered them to the Planning Office. (If they had all gone into the same envelope then the Planning Officer would have treated them as a petition which only counts as one supporting letter.) That's all that was needed to get it recorded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
