    I’m not sure how much weight East Herts council will attach to objections from all over the world. 
    Unfortunately for us, the majority of the gymnastics club users are locals and having had a quick look through the list of the objections most of them seem to be from hundreds of miles away.

    I live in East Herts, they don't take much notice of anything sadly apart from the guidance telling them how much they can put up council tax bills by and cut refuse collections 

    I wouldn't hold your breath on this

    the simple fact of this Lidsey was at same meeting he is here doyle is not why would you fly to stanstead ??? SCB will certainly ask the the question if one rider makes it no excuse not to be there !!

    Because he lives in East Anglia so presumably he'll have flown out to Poland from there and left his vehicle at Stansted

    They are at home Thursday v Sheffield so if there is to be a ban (which there will have to be) when will it start and end? 

     

    As someone who travels regularly on A14 i and out of Suffolk etc and also on M1 / M42 / M5 whilst sat navs are now extremely accurate with timing  it only takes an accident en route to scupper that timing! 

    I've been to Belle Vue from here several times, the time suggested looks reasonable to me. Delays can happen but there are alternative routes from here also if the M6 is stuffed..

    Track was decent despite the weather

    Birmingham were good especially in the early heats when Witches weren't gating

    Milik and Lampart were better than I thought they might be.

    Flint had a bad night but he's much better than that

    Ellis very good for the witches when he gated and Thompson was excellent and on the pace throughout

    I don't know why these developers like to create so much conflict. If the land is so valuable for housing, why doesn't the developer work with the action group and the council, so a 3 way committee, to find a piece iof land, unsuitable for development, but ideal for a speedway track and build a stadium similar to Workington. Yes, a track in field, but what has been achieved at Workington, I think is marvelous. That way, BE get to build their houses, the council get more council tax and speedway gets Coventry Speedway again.  

    There was already a track in situ at Workington with permission.

    Finding the land and getting permission is the difficult bit, see Wolves

    They have put in for retrospective planning on the spectator stand that they turned into a gymnastics centre. They lied in 2020 and said the size of the building hadn't changed so didn't need to apply for planning permission.

    They stuck a huge extension on the end as a viewing area

    They are currently being investigated by East Herts District Council planning enforcement for this breach and others

    It sums up the state of planning in this country that you can put in for retrospective planning just when the investigation for the breach is coming to an end

    In the overall scheme of things, it doesn't mean a great deal. The area of the track is where it matters. How long can they keep a white elephant after paying out a tidy sum for the lease?

    Maybe the OP just saw the planning application and presumed it was for the stadium 

    Anyway let's hope this one gets refused

    No. Because he’s not in Birmingham’s 1-7

    He's been replaced by Nicholls as an injury replacement so there's no ban that is appropriate 

    If he starts riding in Poland but not in Birmingham then that's a different matter

    Why would Pawlicki serve a 28 day ban? He’s apparently injured so not withholding his services and has been replaced in the 1-7 with a short term replacement. 

    Isn't his point that if he rides in Poland but doesn't return for Birmingham then he'll be deemed to be withholding services?

    Yes,Tolley would've benefitted from signing cvs , instead of Sam!

    Bham support will eventually dwindle to a non going concern whilst LR is orchestrating things!

    That is a fact!

    CVS runs his own show, I'd be amazed if he'd consider working for anyone else

    It should have happened a couple of years ago but at least the licence has been revoked. The further Russell and Osbourne are away from any possible involvement the better.

    The Abbey is dead in the water. Osbourne wouldn't let the speedway back out of spite now anyway 

    At least it gives a chance for a consortium to get together and put pressure on the council to provide a plot of land after their awful handling of the planning process at the Abbey

     

    It wouldn't have happened earlier unless there were financial issues. Rights are protected for 3 years.

    Whether they need to change that rule is another thing

    As I was reliably informed Russell has finally had his racing licence revoked . Taylor Wimpey being investigated, Orrible Osborne showing his true colours nationally and now this....I know this guarantees nothing but it's a positive at least , ridding the sport of Terry hopefully 

    Promotional rights are normally protected for 3 seasons so if you discount the 2020 covid season then this appears to be the case here.

    Perhaps if they could have ,they would have and most certainly should (Swiftly)have.

    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

    Is this a serious post?? Football stadiums are 24 days for 90mins??

    Club shops 7 days a week, executive suites 7 days a week, 7 days a week restaurants, function suites, stadium tours, charity work, 100s of office staff required 7 days a week. 

    Plus Football stadiums are, in the main, owned by the clubs themselves
