Just an update on the Rye House situation. 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.

Link to object to the retrospective planning permission for the football pitches that he has already started building

A repeat performance of the Gym that was built without permission.

My first visit to Rye House was in 1975 (?) World Championship Qualifier...I think Phil Herne won?

My first was in 1972 against the Rayleigh Rockets. Gordon Kennett rode for Rye House that day.

I'm intrigued because Gordon was a full time "Rebel" that year?

Rye House will always have special memories for me as I saw my first ever speedway meeting there in 1960.

We need as many people to object to this as possible. Just make sure you OBJECT. Several have supported by mistake.

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.
