Any serious association would have had the licence off him as soon as he joined Osbourne in making that statement about speedway not being viable at the Abbey & joining Swindon Mototorsport. You could add and also wanting BE to build on Brandon stadium. To allow someone to be in partnership with a guy who has such an open negative agenda against anything related to speedway is a reason in itself to have zero faith in the BSPL.

Add to that that they have watched Buster Chapman seemingly take one of their Premier clubs down without a fight while profiting from that club's demise, in terms of infrastructure and riders for his other lot. I make no comment on him & AEPG! Added to that, he's allowed to hang on to the licence with no interest in the Peterborough Speedway survival fight. He seems happy to run down the clock to finish Panthers and the BSPL appear happy that he does that as a member of their flock? It is indeed hard to take them seriously! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure that the rule used to be (it might still be I don't know) that your licence was protected for 3 years from closure provided of course the finances were in order. After that they could entertain applications from any interested parties Anyone know the up to date position Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I mentioned earlier in the thread about Osbourne & the smarmy Gareth Hooper. Both trashed the sport & said it wasn't viable at the inquiry. Irony anyone? Russell didn't look particularly healthy when I saw a picture of him a few months ago either using a walking stick. You have pretty irrefutable evidence of a stitch up but the BSPL won't do a thing. Same at Peterborough where Chapman has no intention of doing anything to save the club but gets to hold onto the licence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deano Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 (edited) Reading what’s going on with Torquay United and the money Osborne has admitted to pumping in. Makes you wonder when the “long term viability” and the need to move away will suddenly raise its head for Torquay. It starts to make sense that we should all join together in helping preserve current stadiums. Edited January 31 by Deano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deano Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 (edited) I get the feeling the Torquay councillor doesn’t believe a word Osborne is saying. Sounds familiar, no one knows where he plans to build anything. https://www.devonlive.com/sport/sport-opinion/torquay-united-stadium-plans-raise-9067493 Edited February 1 by Deano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand he pumped a load of money into the Reading project which included a scale model of his proposed new racino. It cost in excess of £50K & that was over 15 years ago. I have no doubt that it would have been an investors money that paid for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These contain the important milestones regarding stadium and housing build so cannot see who’s telling the truth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toady Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 (edited) Thanks for that(didn’t like for obvious reasons)where did you find them ?.I looked at the 106 but it was 96 blank pages.all I could find was this that was suggested before the decision. Summary of Recommendation: That the Head of Planning, Regulatory Services and Heritage be authorised to APPROVE the reserved matters, subject to the conditions set out in the report (together with any amended, omitted or additional conditions) upon the completion of a Section 106 obligation to mitigate the impact of the development and to ensure the satisfactory completion of the stadium development and the other strategic infrastructure, including the open space and play areas and the construction of the necessary drainage infrastructure. In the event that the applicant fails to enter into an agreement or fails to agree to an extension of time for the determination of the application to enable the Council as Local Planning Authority to deal with these matters, then the Head of Planning, Regulatory Services and Heritage be authorised to refuse the approval of reserved matters and; The Head of Planning, Regulatory Services and Heritage, in consultation with the Head of Legal Services, be authorised to take planning enforcement action and other legal action regarding the breaches of the s106 planning obligation. 3 It is recommended that the section 106 agreement should include the following matters; No additional housing is to be developed until the new stadium is operational and substantially complete. (The definition of operational and substantial completion to be agreed in the s106 agreement.) Edited February 11 by Toady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poole keith Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 I suppose the stadium is "operational "because there is greyhound racing ,so it must be "substantialy" complete to do this, why there's no speedway is certainly bewildering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
