    Brummies 2024...

    I think he's on record in stating that he has two years left at Perry Barr, the owners have said the dogs will be going to the new track in Wolverhampton by the end of the year & then they will be planning their next moves to develope the site for other use. Tolley has also said that he needs to see a marked increase in attendances this year, if not next season won't happen.

    Did you see the ?symbol at the end of Najjer's post? Perhaps it would be an idea if you checked out its meaning.
  3. Well yes quite possibly, but in my case , to watch the meeting last night I had two options 1 travel by car at a high cost for the evening, 2 pay £15 and watch from my armchair . For me it represents good value It's not something I would do regularly but as a one off I have no complaints.
  4. There can be many reasons why folk consider it value for money. Some may not be able to travel for various reasons , work , health , cost etc. for those £15 is an excellent deal i would suggest
  5. I did consider leaving her at home but i didn't dare suggest it I really like the Belle Vue track & stadium & the trip up there through the peaks is a lovely drive in daylight hours, but i find the return at night very demanding on what are mostly twisty unlit roads.The alternative is a longer journey via the m6 & A50/A500 across to the east mids, a journey with the inevitable delays for road works /closures causing a much longer journey time. Last night I watched the speedway, then watched the first episode of Coma on Channel 5 which had been recording & was " tucked up" in bed by 11.00 pm
  6. Exactly , I purchased my first BSN stream last night £15 for the two of us. Compare this to the cost of a 180 to 200mile round trip , entrance tickets, car parking, fuel , & probably a light meal somewhere , that would see the evening cost well overv £100 for myself & the wife.

    Brandon Update

    I think we all understant that is a possibility, & as the latest update states the group have"considered their strategy under every likely circumstance". However you view the situation there can be no doubt that the group have performed a minor miracle getting us this far, with huge support from the council, MP's , the residents of the local area, &supporters from UK and futher afield and deserve massive credit for what has been achieved to date.

    They did & i think the 6 week period expired last Friday.

    Brandon Update

    That was a huge surprise yesterday, hopefully, instead of building lots of little brick walls on the site, Brandon Estates have just run into a massive one themselves.

    Brandon Update

    In the video Jeff Davies does state that the owners could go to the High Court if there was anything legally wrong with the government inspector's report, but the SCS group had read it & that they couldn't see any issues. One member of the SCS group works in planning & obviously knows his way round the system, so we can only keep everything crossed & see what happens next.

    I was always a Rugby bend viewer, but i would be more than happy to make that a" back straighter" if the opportunity should arise.

    Brandon Update

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvapQLnPRiY Here is a reason why your suggestion should not be considered Just watch the emotion from Jeff Davies in his interview & then consider the support from thousands of people from all around the UK & Europe for retaining the stadium. Also consider the huge support from the local residents of the area around the stadium who voted heavily for it to remain when a survey was carried out. Indeed when the fund raising appeal to help with the cos tof the SCS group obtain a legal representative for the inquiry was opened there was a large contributution made by the residents of the properties immediately next to the stadium. That is an indication of the level of support this fight has. Developers always use the same tactics when they aquire land without planning & usually the councils roll over , in this case they haven't & I say well done to them for fighting this out.

    I've just been looking at some pics of a a very happy & smiling Chris Adams. He must take after his mom.

    Fair enough, I must say however that I don't find Sam inspirational in any way , but I do hope the Brummies make a success of next season . The current owner deserves that for his continued financial commitment to the club.

    Absolutely, he was a good rider but that was the limit of his skills . His time at Reading certainly wasn't what you would describe as thrilling.

    Swindon Stadium

    I would love to think this was positive news, but I can't help thinking that this very same Clarke Osborne was speaking in support of the housing developers at the inquiry re the planning application for Brandon Stadium recently & was doing his best to convince the inspector that speedway had no future should not return to the stadium & housing was the best plan .Hardly the action of someone is planning to build a new stadium on the outskirts of Swindon I would say.

    2024 Discovery+ Sport

    It's not just BT either they're all at it . I have had a Virgin package for a few years now which gives me fast broadband, landline, tv with BT sports , Sky sports, & Eurosport.I have always managed to negotiate an exellent price for my package each time I have renewed . This time round , just after i had renewed I had a message stating that they were increasing my deal by£21.50 per month & in new contracts from May 24 they would be increasing payments by RPI + 3.9% if i remember , also there would be no longer be any option to leave penalty free if i didn't like the deal. A phone call & a few pertinents comments got my £21.50 monthly increase removed for the remainder of this contract fortunately. There is pressure being exerted in higher places to get these mid contract price rises stopped I do know, but if it doesn't change I won't be using Virgin next time round..

    Richie Worrall statement

    I would agree with that, he comes across as a guy with very limited capabilities & he should be nowhere near the job he has. The stuff he puts out for for public consumption makes the SCB appear very amateurish .

    The King's Speech

    Judging by the look on his face in the photo above i think he had just been informed it had been postponed indefinitely.

    Posibly , but I doubt it will stop the "dirty tricks brigade" from getting to work.
