    Would a track fit in there? But, looks like an indusrial area. Would the rugby club be interested, do you think?

    Yes, but maybe there is land in Warwickshire, similar?

    That is all true, but if the council are onside, surely that has to be a great boost! There must be some free land in Warwickshire? Actually, Workington must have needed council help, as the track, as I recall, was just a training track. Different to being a fully fledged league track, with traffic and parking to consider. And perhaps environmental issues.

    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.

    But who would be the various motor sports? Stock Cars, Bangers, Flat track? Local authorities haven't got a p to p in!, National Lottery...join the queue! Private/commercial enterprises, what could be in it for them? Maybe dual uses of the stadium, football pitch on the centre green, concert venue? I would imagine BE would think these things would be 'small beer', not money spinning enterprises. I'm not sure what the answer is, except hoping BE are happy to sell and there is a willing buyer, who is dead keen on having Speedway return.

    Maybe, the plot thickens?

    Graham Drury RIP

    That is sad news. Never met the man, but a name that has been around speedway, it seems, forever! RIP Mr Drury

    I thought a new stadium is being built? I thought it was the promoters who have thrown in the towel? Although, I'm sure the situation is not as simple as my comment.

    Because the stadium owners and it has been speedway promoters in the past, like Sandhu, looking to 'cash in their chips'! Promoter stadium owners, pretending they have speedway's best interest, when the only interest they have, is in themselves! Another example, the Pugh's, Cradley Heath!

    This sounds a bit like...Whatever happened to Slough Speedway?

    Steve Webb was the pensions minister, a few years back, during the coalition! I think he was a Liberal MP?

    Very often, when a speedway promotion say 'we are taking a year out', it's the end. I can't see how speedway in the next 12 months, as a whole, is going to turn things around, for a promoter to say 'now is the time to run a team'. All very sad. Unfortunately, I said many years ago that speedway had to change and the costs were too high for those involved, but time after time (on here), I was told I was being negative. No, I was being realistic. The riders and the tuners have killed a sport, which at best, should have been, for many years, a semi-professional sport or even better, an amateur sport. Speedway will survive, but team/league racing will disappear in Britain, in my opinion.
