Rayleigh

Thanks Rob, everybody please support Robs initiative.

No proof either way if we being played. BMR have apparently gone and major plans for another building and a covered football training area.

I have just heard some very sad news that the plans for the Rye House stadium does NOT include ANY speedway. Like at Coventry and Oxford I think it is important to contact the owners of the Kart Track to politely demonstrate that there is a big demand for Speedway and could they please reconsider their decision.

Unfortunately the road behind the back straight has been halfed (half owned by stadium and half by the caravan site) and this half is now used as the access road to the Karting ,in short I guess there is less room on the back straight unless the track is brought back in.

Many thanks City Rebel

City Rebel. Which facebook page?

Been past the stadium today. Whilst all locked up and only basic viewing from the canal toepath: The front car park is completely tiled and looks impressive (anyone remember the moon craters) No BMR sign as you enter the car park from the road The outside of the gym seems completed (where chip shop was) First and second bend terracing levelled with slight gradient, (should prove a spectator viewing point). Pits and Tempstand as before

Can we please have a reality check here. Do you think fans of Hackney, Cradley, Coventry, Reading, Workington etc etc would say "If you don't provide covered seating I am not going" I think they might say its a shame they haven't build facilities like Belle Vue but I HAVE MY TEAM BACK AND IM MIGHTY LUCKY. Please we are at a delicate stage and Im sure messages such as on here are read by interested parties, but if you feel so strongly about certain issues Im sure the landlord/Promotor will be very happy for you to put your hand in your own pocket and pay for them yourselves if you wont or cant, then please support those who are.

The smoke signals from official sources and other sources are really encouraging regarding Speedway returning to Hoddesdon. However I hope any future potential promoter does have some input into the new layout of the stadium for viewing spectators.

Who is your son? and we will root for him with such dedication.

Actually Robs right, I would expect things may start moving from April meanwhile there is a huge amount being done at the stadium so let them do that first

Right now I would take watching Rye House Rockets though a lattice wire fence, full stop.

Good point GWC, whist the really good news is there is no signs like "Bellway Homes Coming Soon" at the entrance Its not clear where terracing is planned, but as has been mentioned before, some serious money is being spent and if you see the Karting circuit the new leaseholder does things properly, so lets rejoice at that fact at least.

Went to the stadium yesterday Building work still continuing which is hopefully great news for speedway fans. We just maybe very lucky to have this new landlord after years and years of landlords neglecting the stadium.

bring more rain

A very interesting article in the Speedway Star implying that Mr Godfrey he may be involved directly or indirectly in bring speedway back, which is great news and we wish whom ever it is, all the best. I can almost smell the speedway bikes!!

If it is a game of guessing (pure speculation) then how about Colin Pratt?

The stadium plans will mean it is geared up to host Premiership/Championship level speedway. But maybe National league this season if the stadium is ready. Is the speculation above merely speculation or fact regarding Len Silver?

I sincerely hope you are accurate, those who know me, know ALL I want is speedway back.

Hi Rob, We have had detailed plans outlined to us for the stadium and it would seem (hold my breathe after BMR) that we are in safe hands with the Owners

Cant speculate but what has actually be done is impressive and the Kart track is kept very smart, so lets just hope we can get speedway back. There are people who have still not given up.

All is far from lost at Rye House. The Car Park has been completely re-laid with tiles (at a great expense) and there are major plans to work on the stadium. The fact is that the site is now owned by the Kart people and not got a Bellway sign up should tell you a lot.

Don't jump to conclusions and dont be too negative yet.

Yes, an amazing amount of work done on the Car Park (it makes it look smaller though) but don't jump to conclusions

I thought the BSPA had a pool of riders for such a situation. Sorry to hear Ablitt has packed up he was very promising
