enotian Posted May 9, 2022 Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 21 hours ago, arnieg said: Why would a new owner need planning permission? We've constantly been told over the last 20 years or so that if speedway ends at Brough Park for any period of time (excluding off season of course) then anyone wanting to re-start the Diamonds would need to apply for permission to operate a speedway team at the venue. And that application is likely to be turned down. Given the proximity to housing I would imagine. If someone takes over from Rob Grant and there is no break then that wouldn't be the case. But there is nobody waiting in the wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can`t see the club being fined, track work has begun with the postponement of Newcastle`s next home fixture, probably at great expense to Rob Grant. If there isn`t an up turn in attendances especially what has happened in the last couple of weeks Rob Grant could be massively out of pocket.

Grant was going to let concessions in for free in that meeting, so would been lucky to make a bean of that fixture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post cinderfella Posted May 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 9, 2022 2 minutes ago, Justgotmecpc said: I think nearly every speedway promoters are out of pocket with the exception of money bags Glasgow & poole Why do folk continually have a go at the Glasgow Promotion because they have successful business? I'm fed up pointing out that the Facenna brother financially support other ventures, such as junior football (equivalent of English non-league) and do lots for the community and charities. Folk seem to forget the help they have given to injured riders from visiting teams and support to Team GB. Too many green eyed monsters with tunnel vision. Maybe the teams they follow would have more cash to splash if the total product offered was up to the standard offered at Ashfield. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
