blueherb777 571 Posted November 9, 2021 Confirmed on Website no Championship speedway at CP. So no Speedway left in South East....and very little left elsewhere!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
old bob at herne bay 828 Posted November 9, 2021 Expect Mullford to concentrate on Grastrack … seems to be where his interests lie ….. Everyone mentions Eastbourne as an option but not racing in league until 2023 according to Trev Gear. ….and Oxford still haven’t achieved membership of the secret society .

Friend who goes to Kent every week says Terry Russell been a regular there. Maybe here move his Swindon setup into Central Park. And that where Doyley is coming back and racing in the UK 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flipper11 134 Posted November 9, 2021 There is another statement on the Kent website that clears a few things up. Len originally wanted to go Premier league but it created too many problems so decided CL was the limit, the biggest problem is the curfew of finishing racing by 8.30, so I doubt PL will ever be at CP.

old bob at herne bay 828 Posted November 9, 2021 If ARC don’t/can’t guarantee use of the stadium for speedway … it’s a dead duck. IMO, don’t think Len would have retired if he thought there was a realistic chance of an amicable agreement with ARC. This must have been going on for a while now behind the scenes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,634 Posted November 9, 2021 (edited) The Kent situation seems pretty clear from the latest statement - the stadium 'sale' documentation between ARC and Cearns should have included that speedway would continue under the new stadium ownership! This appears not to have been the case and ARC are now spreading the rumour that the local Council 'do not want speedway there' -despite no complaints or evidence of contravening any planning consent. Hence no speedway in 2022, but......................?? Edited November 9, 2021 by Skidder1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just the same as the current Coventry situation! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbw 869 Posted November 9, 2021 I hope Kent, or any other club come to that, isn't lost to the sport. I haven't actually been to Central Park but was looking forward to visiting asap as it looks like a fantastic venue. Wish everyone at Kent all the best in keeping the club alive as I only know too well what it's like to lose your local track as I live in Long Eaton. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You missed a cracker there against Poole this season. It was one of the best meetings I've seen at Central Park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was thinking of going but was too soon after lifting of covid restrictions if I remember rightly. But great to hear that it was a cracking meeting, Let's hope it won't be too long before Kent get back on track as I'll be visiting even if they're in a different league to Poole.

Newcastle is under threat from redevelopment. ARC only lease Perry Barr. Who knows what the long term future is at either stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
