I think Ritchie Hawkins is well good

I am glad not to be the only one, zero entertainment I gave up after 5 races and that was on pause due to the delay.

Condolences to both families I bought my first car off Jim lightfoot a Ford capri. he was smashing bloke he lived not far from Brandon in the countryside near Wolston used to drive by his house on the way to Brandon Saturday nights in the 60s 70 s with my dad. Happy days

Just got to hold on.

Same as most years then

That’s 100% correct. Anyways Happy new year up the Bees

Well this is all good news hopefully. in the planning meeting one off the councillors whilst supporting saving the stadium was concerned it didn’t remain derelict for another number of years. I am sure the campaign group are all over this and this can be of a mutual benefit to speedway stocks and the community . up the bees

Brandon estates Not having a good month are they ,i don’t know what tariffs were available but at least they got rinsed with the court costs. Additionally Coventry uni have plans to install a 3G pitch which weakens any perceived need for one at Brandon. Happy days Up the Bees

That is most definitely correct and I don’t see how Brandon estates get around the loss of the stadium argument. of course they can just sit on it for another decade. hopefully they will get hammered in the courts next week.

Full kudos to SCS team Credit to the gallery Tony Gillias top man the councillors saw through the bullrubbish and voted correctly I know BE will appeal but a unanimous refusal must put them on the back foot at least

Housing refused!!!!!!!

I’m liking councillor brown and Daly

Tony Gillias round of applause for this man, full of facts and obviously emotion

Embarrassing presentation skills

Well done Eric i I’m no use with those link things

There is a stream on the rugby bc website planning committee now but technical issues with the sound, on item 1 somebody sounds like they are beatboxing not talking.

Absolutely at every step the scs team have eviscerated the arguments of Brandon estates and shown rugby bc to be biased .

Coventry stadium’s fate will now be at the November 9 planning meeting of Rugby bc.

Lewis Kerr is headed to Oxford.

It Is Sad Alternative sites have been looked at, one site near Brandon village was dismissed, to me it seemed a great alternative, the site ticked all the right boxes basically the track was going to be in a hole to mitigate noise problems and full of all very green and environmentally friendly features everywhere but rejected. nobody is naïve here it was always going to be a long shot, maybe the Committee reject the plans but I doubt it. At least the campaign group have tried and full kudos to them. Best of luck to swindon and Edinburgh and whoever the next track under threat is.

Agenda for planning meeting on September 14th for Rugby BC planning now online. The planning officers are approving the Brandon Estates application for housing, seems the promise of a 3G pitch and houses is better than the heritage of the stadium. gutted beyond belief

Rest in peace Nigel a real ambassador for the sport and an enthusiastic and positive a person. played the deference card to kelvin about things technical but he knew more than he made out. a lovely man gone far too soon nigel speedway will miss you

Not included in the planning proposal as it already has the required permission

Great response from the save Coventry team on the latest statement from Brandon estates. BE seem a real mess to me recycled lies and quotes ,items being out of date to submit the planning not in the required framework etc and then admitting if they have to put up 106 money their scheme is not viable. heavens above do they just use interns up the bees.

Great news congratulations to the people who have contributed to this outcome.
