Forgot about that one! lol. They’ve added another layer of photo’s to the archive fascinating.

Birmingham Speedway 1944/50 and now using the aerial view. It’s a bit blurred but you get the idea. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=16.4&lat=52.52012&lon=-1.89856&layers=9&b=1

He is playing the none viable card with them too it seems.

It will happen. When one person owns and operates the last two remaining clubs, sharing the only rider available.

I know one of the former contestants from many many years ago. She did tell me that some scenarios edited together, were from different days. Someone behind camera wound her up to get an angry expression, this was edited into another scene to get the impression she had a dislike for some ones idea. The woman I know in real life is completely different to the edited one on this programme.

There are still opportunities though. So many sports have disappeared behind pay per view, so much rubbish thrust in our faces on terrestrial, I include obscure live FA cup matches controlling the tv schedule all the time. The six nations might be the the next tournament to disappear as it isn't protected like the Rugby World Cup is. I hate football with a passion there are many tens of millions like me out there.

I get the feeling the Torquay councillor doesn’t believe a word Osborne is saying. Sounds familiar, no one knows where he plans to build anything. https://www.devonlive.com/sport/sport-opinion/torquay-united-stadium-plans-raise-9067493

For all we know, only Milik (out of all the options and negotiations), wanted to join us.

But you are assuming Zagar or Schlein wanted to ride. We don't know the ins and outs of all these discussions, just what eaks out in press releases and what we read on the web.

Reading what’s going on with Torquay United and the money Osborne has admitted to pumping in. Makes you wonder when the “long term viability” and the need to move away will suddenly raise its head for Torquay. It starts to make sense that we should all join together in helping preserve current stadiums.

By convincing them speedway isn't viable.

How very sad. RIP fella.

You could add and also wanting BE to build on Brandon stadium. To allow someone to be in partnership with a guy who has such an open negative agenda against anything related to speedway is a reason in itself to have zero faith in the BSPL.

Does make you think, when the application was approved, it wasn't very water tight. Osborne isn't a spring chicken these days, one day he will get tired, hopefully sooner rather than later.

Lets hope any other version, doesn't yield them any profit, after all the costs incurred so far.

Apparently not. it's the end of the process for them.

Exactly, loyal fans do turn up but there just isn’t enough of them. A rubbish team won’t be supported by people out for an enjoyable evening.

Are they good enough to beat Jack Holder and Tai in our first outing? I hope so after the last two seasons lol.

I'm sure I read somewhere, he did originally buy for development, found he enjoyed watching speedway so dropped the idea. The rest is history.
