This is disgraceful from Pedersen, there must be a way he can be held accountable for this kind of action. Utter contempt for Peterborough speedway and British fans. Absolute a**hole !!

Perhaps you can put that Karate to good use

Think it’s been touted for an industrial estate the dog track, just what the town needs, another industrial estate 

And will this estate have all the unit’s filled? Or just stand empty. 
 

sad to hear what its going to turn into, seems to happen all over now

Speedway is Speedway his private life is nothing to do with us. An area which I think should be kept out of the thread. How do you know she’s a cheap tart. Know her personally do you?

How can his private life be nothing to do with us when he is parading his family life in a reality tv show?

Like I said last year with the current land costs in Peterborough being so high it’s hard for even a money making business to justify buying land in the town let alone a speedway club.

Rumour I heard last meeting (only a rumour but logical if the Adopted Local Plan was confirmed by PCC) was that the EoES developers had helped the club buy some land to agree with Policy LP36: East of England Showground "The loss of any existing leisure and sports facilities will not be supported unless replacement facilities are provided in accordance with policy LP30".

LP30 - Existing Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities
The loss, via redevelopment, of an existing culture, leisure, tourism or community facility will only be permitted if it is demonstrated that:
k. The facility is demonstrably no longer fit for purpose and the site is not viable to be
redeveloped for a new community facility; or
l. The service provided by the facility is met by alternative provision that exists within
reasonable proximity: what is deemed as reasonable proximity will depend on the nature
of the facility and its associated catchment area; or
m. The proposal includes the provision of a new facility of a similar nature and of a similar or
greater size in a suitable on or off-site location.

 

k, The EoES is still fit for purpose; l, is a bit tenuous and potentially open to interpretation and argument; m, there is no provision on or off site so without it the Showground can't throw out Peterborough Speedway and agree with the Local Plan?

As much as I want our club to survive, I can't see it financially viable over a long period of team sharing with KL.

You would be relying on a small hardcore of supporters and a few neutrals and it would be running at a substantial loss. Add to the equation that of a poor team squad and you would be racing in an empty stadium.

The dog track in Peterborough would only need a new track laying, everything else is there. Could the club not rent it from the dog track owners similar to what we are doing now at the showground.?

 

Would the nearby housing not be a problem??

I think it's probably his polish club banning him from riding over here

I don't think they have said he cannot ride (officially they cannot do that with the agreement between the federations) but they could invoke changes in his deal

From the Chinese whispers he was signed in Poland on the basis of not riding in the UK and a signing on fee agreed. Half paid in the winter and half to come at the start of the season

I understand the second half was to be withdrawn from the deal if he continued in the UK and as that alone was worth more than he could earn in the entire UK season then it became a no brainer to give up the place with the Pussycats

Maybe true,  maybe not but it sounds a lot more feasible than the lame "my body isn't up to the technical British tracks" trotted out in the statement

Bigger problem is potential demolition but if the proposal hasn't got to council and they want to agree with their local plan for the EoES then they can refuse the  Fengate Land Holdings Limited (FLHL) application and a deal can be agreed to move Peterborough Speedway in with a sensible curfew to appease the few locals: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-64335400
