Cheers many thanks 😊

Yes, I submitted my comments based on the template as well. The only point I am making is that the site is proposed to have karting in addition to speedway, and so it is pointless to try to defend noise concerns simply by saying, as others have, speedway will only be for 2 hours a few times a year. On one Facebook page a local councillor has been called a 'c**t' for stating his objections, and told he is wrong when he says activity will be more than just a few speedway meetings. The best way to persuade the councillor is to use planning arguments to knock down his concerns, not abuse, whether we agree with him or not

11.50 just starting to rain in worky, dark skies all round

But you won't be travelling up to watch them, so does not matter when it is 😜

I agree it’s quite amusing reading those comments. One poster even submitted three on one day! The one referring to the travellers made me chuckle – you can bet your bottom dollar if they were to pitch up anywhere near their home, they would be up in arms. So being concerned for their wellbeing is laughable. To my knowledge, there have been no submissions from any residents on that permanent site, which is very close to the proposed development, but plenty from people who live over three miles away. By submitting your comments, using the SNS template as a basis, we ensure that the planners focus on the planning process rather than these incorrect but all valid local people’s concerns. That’s all we as a speedway community can do.

No link?

I copy and pasted what was suggested, I onto read the comments from others and left it at that. Foxhall isn’t that bad and I live 1 km away from the track and they operate many weekends, outside in the garden yes it can be heard but the speedway isn’t half as loud as 20 cars at the same time. People just don’t like change and that’s fact, same as when people say happy for people to come to the country, then ask them to take one in their house and it’s a closed subject.

It's got to be TNT Sports that won't move the dates they've got fixed in their schedules. The only thing would be to push the first semi-final back a week, stage the missing fixtures, and run both semis on the same nights (as Sky tried - but I guess that's expensive in terms of doubling-up OB kit and teams). Then, of course, it rains ...

I'm impatient Gaz lol. Worky have already rearranged their fixture. I guess I'll just have to sit on my hands til further notice

We have no restrictions when we race. Both Clubs have to agree to a date that suits both , lets see what happens first before wanting to claim a two legged tie after one leg ffs.

Nagel was unavailable today but that didn't stop Glasgow. Next free Friday is 3rd October. Not sure they will let Glasgow put it off for a month for a semi final. Be different if it was a final. I guess if they can't organise a fixture we'll just have to be put through after one leg. We do it for Oxford.

No green and white me thinks.

One of the problems to be overcome is that the application is not just for a speedway track that might operate, say, 20 times a year, for a couple of hours - it's for a motorsport park with speedway and karting, and as far as I can see, no information about the potential hours of operation is in the application. On that basis, and to be fair to the locals, the noise may well be an irritant. I don't think some of the responses on open forums are putting speedway in a good light. I think we'd do well as a community to focus on responding to the application using the template provided, and refain from being abusive to people who hold a different view. Beat them with planning arguments, not abuse.

Because we dont have a meeting.

Think you can only have one official off race nite, anyway Wednesday is pilots nite you would not want to race away on your home nite 🙃

If Nagel is unavailable on Wednesday why should we, Friday at Edinburgh, Sunday at Redcar. The meeting has not long been put off, give them a chance to look at fixtures.

Was anyone asked? Why couldn’t anyone watching BSN sit and update it themselves?

If I was a gambling man, I'd bet on a Belle Vue v Leicester final...

Sorry to hear this,Not good.

Why shouldnt they, the rained off meeting was on an off night wasn't it?

Why should they race on an off night?

Dont know why they couldnt do Wednesday or Saturday or Sunday, Friday they are at Edinburgh.
