flagrag 703 Posted February 4, 2020 Happy Hunter - I don’t believe planning permission amendments are required as plans do not involve moving the poles or increasing height. It will include new brighter bulbs and changing the angles as they are still set in position for the original track when built . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Hunter 361 Posted February 4, 2020 I think I have a copy of the planning permission somewhere. If I can find it I will see what it says but I think that the brightness of the lights might have to be below a certain level to prevent light pollution.

flagrag 703 Posted February 4, 2020 Happy Hunter- Nothing to worry about the new bulbs and light pollution as the light will be more focused on the track so less light will be escaping the stadium than previously as well as being better for the environment as less electricity will be used . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Bump 254 Posted February 8, 2020 Bigger crowds came to earlier starts in 2019 & it’s better for families too. Might also save a few quid on the leccy bill I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lenny Lion 138 Posted February 18, 2020 http://www.leicesterspeedway.com/_mobile/news.php?extend.31608.1 As someone who worked hard & raised money I am totally disgusted by the club, this stand was built & paid for by the supporters in conjunction the supporters club to be known as the supporters club stand . It even has our plaque & names on the back of the stand but no doubt that will have been removed for an oversized advert. Along with forcing members of loyal staff out of the club like myself who they had never even met before taking over, this is another symbol of the current owners having no respect for their customer or the former staff who only tried to promote their club.

Lenny Lion 138 Posted February 18, 2020 (edited) Banned for airing my views ? A forum is just for that. But if they banned me then I’ve not lost anything I am not made to feel very welcome anymore on the few occasions I can attend matches but when I can go it’s just not the same spectacle as before they forced me out.
