You need physical evidence ie. Builders, bricks etc before you should believe them Imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Game On 1,117 Posted February 12, 2016 Who said nothing's been done until now? Plenty has gone on behind the scenes, as shown by this latest news release Oh yes, it's only taken two years to find some land that's a five minute drive from the current stadium. Then perhaps another two years for planing approval then another two to get it built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
John Leslie 3,213 Posted February 12, 2016 I thought I read some where that Sandu had bought it himself and formed a new company with his family ? Yes. Would be interesting to know who does own the stadium now. Wasn't one of Sandhu's partners being chased by HMRC for considerable amounts of money? Rumour at the time was that Sandhu had set up a new company and "sold" the stadium to himself to stop HMRC getting hold of it.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R87 476 Posted February 12, 2016 I hope that this will all turn out the way we all hope. However, events at Reading and now Swindon mean I will believe it when I see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted February 12, 2016 I thought I read some where that Sandu had bought it himself and formed a new company with his family ? According to the Telegraph Investin Brandon Limited are the company. Sandhu isnt listed in that company, never has been and none of his family either. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naffer 442 Posted February 12, 2016 I think it is understandable to react to this news with a dose of cynicism due to the other tracks that have withered away. Planning consent is obviously a complicated matter and the "local need "requirement does seem potty when we have been evicted from Brandon at the end of the season. But these rules are in place to protect all of us from inappropriate developments . I am remaining positive ,as before I thought we were just going to fade away,I am sure a lot of preparotry work with the planning application has been done reading Jeremy heavers statement. Lets hope for a positive outcome but remember the realists maxim," Talk is cheap stadiums cost money" Up the bees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Better than not riding, and just waiting for the stadium? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naffer 442 Posted February 12, 2016 I think if people could see progress in the proposed Eco stadium, a year at Leicester could be entertained. If it drags on beyond that then I could see it being more difficult to maintain the support. 18 months from now to sort out the planning minefield and then 9 months to build a stadium an optimistic timetable but could be done if there is a will to achieve it. Dealing with three local authorities is not ideal though . Up the bees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woz01 3,589 Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) Assuming the track/stadia get the go ahead, would it be such a chore to ride at Leicester for part of the 2017 season? Better than not riding, and just waiting for the stadium? Horton seems to have the impression of getting a track down and put a temporary stand or two up while they work on other areas of the stadium. Me personally id rather they take there time and get it right and if that means going to Leicester for half or a full season then so be it.

And listening to jeremy heavers interview ,with the things they are having to do to be eco friendly putting up temporary stands would not be meeting the green requirements .

We're not growing riders, although that would be handy....!! Re-shaping work, which apart from moving the kerbs, adjusting the rake of the banking etc. It also means completely renewing the drains!!!! So its a bit more than a bit of digging. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedibee 3,091 Posted February 13, 2016 Yes. Would be interesting to know who does own the stadium now. Wasn't one of Sandhu's partners being chased by HMRC for considerable amounts of money? Rumour at the time was that Sandhu had set up a new company and "sold" the stadium to himself to stop HMRC getting hold of it.. Sandhu had the pay HMRC the money the partner he swore he didnt have owed , and with that became the sole owner ,and confrimed Liar Wolverhampton gets my choice !! Garrity, king and Harris go very well there. Unless the digging at Leicester has suddenly made it an ok track. Cant imagine Wolverhampton is an option , ladbrokes chucked cradley out for a year because they only wanted speedway 1 night a week , so unlkely to go for 3 nights a week , geographically B.ham is nearest Track share will not work just ask the Cradley promotion Works fine sharing with Wolves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
