Stock pits will go on the main carpark and the field will be for spectators. Not sure that will be a problem currently though right now in this current economic climate.

It's not just the raising costs Buster needs to complain about, that carpark was (and still is) earmarked for the town's park and ride system. I'm sure it'll now be a while before park and ride is back on the agenda with footfall in all town centres on a rapid decline. Appreciate the information..... I stand corrected. 50 odd years it has been the speedway car park. Never realised that it was anything else but. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At Belle Vue there is ample free parking very close to the stadium so a parking charge is personal choice. Its a bit like complaining about the cost of a programme.

Greg 123 Posted February 24, 2019 I dont see the problem as long as they work on the car park well mainly the back one. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I recall 2 years ago ago Buster telling me that the Council wanted to raise rent on the back straight car park to £30k per year (believe that was the figure) he was arguing with them re the rise. I don’t know but perhaps he manage to persuade them not to raise the rent back then, but now they have insisted on it. Hence why he now needs to charge £1 to park there. If that is the case then you can’t actually blame him for making a parking charge. Ok if that is the case this is then a perfect example of why he needs better communication between himself (and the Club) and it’s fans. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The problem is when people don't have the change and they will nip round the back of the building ( a very convenient space ) and the grandstand. It will smell as bad as the long-demolished 4th bend loos. But is that a small price to pay to see that speedway racing continues at Saddlebow Rd? Instead of a change machine that may lead to a build-up of cross-legged fans why not allow an ex-rider to sit at a table outside the toilets and take the money? Or perhaps the supporters could be encouraged to donate a lump sum! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
