Regards THJ He certainly is ( Andrew ) doing a smashing job with the place.... despite having to put up local vandalism at times... It's looking very smart now well done to him for keeping it going 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

andys 224 Posted September 11, 2020 Apparently he's talking to Newcastle, Gateshead and North tyneside Councils about getting land on a long term lease, he knows the financial costs of it all, and says an out of town site is preferable due to the problems with noise. Rob Godfrey is advising him on things due to the success of scunthorpe stadium. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,142 Posted September 11, 2020 Good article in speedway star, seams like Rob grant got his head screwed on in what he wants, but the big problem is finding somewhere to bring these ideas through, then get planning permission which IMO will be very difficult as a lot of people won't want a speedway/motor sport arena near them, but good luck 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thing about the Seimens land over the road is its just a few hundred yards from Brough so if you're getting disturbed by noise now, it'll be more or less the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does anyone know the legislation for getting a new noise licence, if it was on a brown field site ie industrial would that help get one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
