If they owned it then it would be flats by now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lisa-colette 6,014 Posted August 9, 2021 I feel bad for the Redcar fans. Also hope the council have a good relationship with Matt? As I'm guessing Stadia Uk/GI will try their hardest to convince the council to see things their way? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GI don't want speedway there so they are hardly going to bend over backwards to try and get the meeting on imo. Let's see what happens on the 18th first.

Poole Pirates should not forfeit this fixture in any circumstances. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

racers and royals 8,711 Posted August 10, 2021 14 hours ago, Skidder1 said: Presumably the Stadia UK Deputy Manager is the official Licensed Premises Supervisor - all large venues holding public events with alcohol must have one - so without him/her on site the stadium cannot operate. Its unusual for a large venue to only have one LPS but as Stadia UK laid off all bar a couple of staff then I guess its to be expected. So if Stadia UK decided the bars would be closed for the night, could the meeting have gone ahead ? After all they still have the rent from the Speedway !!

I think you will find anyone can submit plans for anywhere! you "just" have to pay for the plans & planning fees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tosh1218 588 Posted August 10, 2021 All I keep hearing is there is no money in speedway now etc , I beg to differ why would Steve Worrall drive from his Cleethorpes home for a home meeting in Poole which is approx 280 miles away and a minimum of a 6 hour drive one way ?????

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted August 10, 2021 Just when you thought you had heard every excuse/reason for cancelling a speedway meeting , then you see this. I suppose it had to happen sometime during a pandemic. One point for Poole one point for Redcar , and lets move on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This cancellation would have been the last thing the Poole promotion would have wanted, smack bang in the middle of the holiday season and the weather set fair. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Restage the meeting so both sets of fans can attend and create revenue. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
