1stbendwinkoboy Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Just an aside but Bradley Wilson-Dean signed for Polish Division 2 side Ravicz at the same time he signed for the Diamonds - it's on the internet. I was watching the Rawicz match on Polish TV yesterday and he was in the pits (his name was on the back of his mechanic's shirt). It'll be interesting to see if he rides in Poland this year. Hopefully Matty and Max will get fixed up as they have been loyal Diamonds' riders. They, Paul and James should be retained as Diamonds' assets in the vague hope that we can restart next season.

It's a really good shout. Loads of relatively new investment in the area with the new Gateshead College, Sage and Baltic plus all the quayside apartments and OU buildings. Then you have the new Arena under construction and perhaps a new Metro/Local Rail station if the Leamside expansion gets the go ahead. Access isn't too bad from Felling By-pass or via the quayside and there's plenty of car parks close by or more unused land which could be used for parking. I'm not really sure why the area hasn't been used for housing or who it's owned by. Lots of residential investment on the other side of the by-pass. I can see Gateshead Council being behind something sports related in this area, it's close to the International Stadium and sports academy, but as has been pointed out before the cost would be prohibitive. In lieu of a millionaire without a clue you'd need to attract grant funding. Not easy. Sport England is an obvious starting point but they tend to focus on Olympic sports. Speedway isn't but BMX & Skateboarding are. If you can pitch the facility as a multi sports training facility you might get somewhere. That's a lot of contacts to make and manage and even then you'll not get 100% funding. Gateshead FC tried to do something similar with NHS funding thwarted by the credit crunch in 2008 I believe. There's also a decent plot of disused land at the north end of the Team Valley Trading Estate next to the A1 Lobley Hill junction, currently used for the occasional fair. Maybe too close to Festival Park housing. Not impossible to pull off but definitely a long term project for someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
