Whats happening with Birmingham ?


Recommended Posts

Just to clarify. The planning condition requiring the track to be removed and the land to be restored to its original condition, if the speedway ceased, was relative only to the time that we only had temporary planning approval (IE the first 4 years).

Once a full planning consent was approved, this condition no longer applied.

Thanks Brian, never knew that, I did know it was in place at one time

It was one of the original conditions set by the chief planning officer Alan Orr. Mr Orr had recommended refusal but when it became obvious that the Planning Committee weren't going to comply, the chairman David Roy said "Should I take it that you are minded to approve this application." The answer was "Yes - with conditions" but Alan Orr must have been so confident of his recommendation being accepted that he hadn't suggested any conditions, so he had to go away and dream some up and this was one of them.

As I remember, Tony Mole was not happy about accepting a planning consent without knowing what the conditions were, but he was advised to do so by senior councillors who WERE supportive of the speedway application, to do so in order to meet the BSPA's deadline for declaring league membership.

The situation is a lot more complicated at Eastbourne. Surely some of their debts will have to be cleared, before any new promoters take over. Time might be against them for next season.

Does anybody know what the latest is on Eastbourne. Sitting having my morning Coffee reading Speedway star and another small piece about Jordan still not paying up and gone quite by Drew Kemp.

Not seen to much on Facebook this week about himself or Carol as he's been pretending to be as to weather he been paying up or not as has been the case past few weeks?

Guess Masons paid all bills at brum whereas Jordan still owes and thats why Brum return is a lot easier. Fingers crossed positive news for both clubs soon

Eastbourne - Ian Jordan was in the press both local media and Speedway Star stating riders , outstanding debts , season tickets , refunds , air-fence sponsorship monies would be paid back by Oct. Carol Jordan was sending replies to some fans stating delays or check your bank account etc etc - Now it would seem they have gone incommunicado . One un-named rider told Speedway Star he hasn't been paid. Jake Knight stated the very same on facebook and now Drew Kemp has said much the same in the Speedway Star.  Pretty poor but nothing surprises me in how speedway is run.

So a statement saying there is nothing to report is what you're looking for? How frequently would you like those updates? Speedway Fan, over to you!

Today there is no news. Tomorrow never comes and that's when I will be buying a round.:drink:
