Shuter Grove, Kurmanski Close, Hitch Road, Hewlett Drive. https://www.streetcheck.co.uk/postcode/sn254eb Do not forget Richardson Road for one of the first roads that was built.

Of course, although the Kilby, Richardson and Holloway roads were pretty well publicised before buildng started. It would be nice if the Ashby name could be included too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok, Olsen refused to sign despite being allocated by the 'interest generating' rider control system and it really has to be said only Ivan Mauger won titles while actually a Hull rider but, hey .... Hull Vikings had 9 World Champions, missed one; Shawn Moran (longtrack 1983). ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He said that Osborne cant build the final stage until the stadium is done. Had a meeting in the ladt week or so. Seemed confident. Why the hell is he not publicising the facts then, does he not realise how important it is to the Robins fans, unbelievable!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martinmauger 584 Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Guess what: 10 Hull World Champions (!). Just kiddin'. Could be time for the 'Lego' buildings and stands to moved on site and then assembled.

Stadia UK have changed the plans so many times in the last 10 years & going on their record with building new stadiums, I'm not holding my breath. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cityrebel 2,960 Posted August 23, 2018 He's not going to admit that the new stadium is never going to be built, that would be bad for his business. Everything will be positive, until the bulldozers move in. Stadia UK will get all the flak if it don't happen, not TR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So you can add Shawn Moran Longtrack to that but most of these riders weren't at the club when won the titles. If you include past honours then Wolves have Olsen, Nielsen, Eriksen, Schwartz, Sigalos, Ermolenko, Correy, Karlsson, Max, Loram, Woffinden, Pawlicki, Petersen, Cribb, Iversen, .... Could go on and I'm sure others would add more than this at Belle Vue or Cradley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did hear that planning permission for the stadium was unlikely and they were likely to be moved out rather than building up the current stadium. Will there be another Farewell meeting if it does ?

Of course Belle Vue with their long history will prob trounce everyone's 'Club's World Champions stats', prob Coventry too due to all the Danes who rode for the Bees, and also Cradley with 'win everything in sight Yanks', at one time the Danes & Yanks seemingly won everything over and over again at one time. Still, was surprised at the Hull stats and it's all good fun... Edited August 23, 2018 by martinmauger spelling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
