True but I am a realist and most are down for planning houses with the greenbelt and would be 4 years starting from scratch.Look how long it has taken Workington for a stadium but a good one at that.

ARC own Newcastle Greyhound Stadium. The same guys who closed Birmingham and kicked speedway out of Central Park, Sittingbourne.

Interesting reminisce there about the revival of West Ham in 1964. Gave me my weekly fix of speedway after the New Cross Rangers closed midway through 1963 in an ill fated attempt to run in the Provincial Leagues (the 2nd tier in those days) Lasted 10 years ish until the huge stadium and grounds succumbed to housing. The economics of running a " 1st Division" speedway sport business in the 21st century in the UK dont stack up. -
Aha, Young Buster, threatened to pull out of KL speedway and retire some tears ago, yet still raking in the money from the "Adrian Flux" Arena events . in he same breath took over Peterborough Panthers 🙂 and also had an interest in Ipswch Witches. Would be no great suprise if Buster was lurking in the background looking to pick up a bargain 🙃 All in the intersts of the sport of course 🙂 🙂

Thanks for the info. I suppose I must give up all hope now. Been hoping since 1974, it's been a long time. -

Sunderland is run by arc. The company who have just closed birmingham Newcastle Central Park Kent. Not good bed fellows of speedway. -

Oh guys. Look what you've done. You've upset Bluey. How was he meant to know that his reliable source in Poland was so unreliable and clueless? You're ruining his Christmas by signing all these G.P. riders!

Well I hope between the pair of you ,you manage to pick a decent rider.

There is a cracking Stadium in Sunderland which featured Speedway in 1964 and 1971 to 1974. The Stadium is much improved since those days, but as far as I am aware there are no plans to reopen Sunderland Speedway either. -
Would go for Pickering and Morris instead of C Holder and brennan and have a stronger reserve
-
I was told on Sunday that Doyle will be Ipswich no1 ? And it was from someone who does know Doyle which would means he has to go back on his own statement so who knows but like you I’m just can’t get excited about the premier league, I just feel they are making a big mistake for the sport with 5 teams, as I said on the podcast on Sunday I know they are trying for another team and I know others are trying with other clubs too but as it is right now it’s going to be 5

I really don't care if he rides in this joke league or not, I was just relaying what I was told, it was not an opinion. Learn the difference...
