It's not his stadium staff that operate the turnstiles/entrances, it's MF's staff!! He said all stadium operators know or should know those figures also he was not pressed on that by Humphrey’s also when talking about Oxford he said he had not been since reopening so how could he comment on their attendance figures also not referred to by Scs advocate likewise Kevin boothbys submission was not referred to. A very poor effort from mr Humphrey’s overall imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eric i 617 Posted September 28, 2023 Humphreys should have mentioned the other speedway clubs that have folded at the hands of mr Osbourne. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You have to be careful not to feed them as well. I think we just have to trust those we chose to represent the stadium. If speedway was financially lucrative for investors, we wouldn't be where we are. Only the BSPL can help change that long term. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean it's had the glitz and glamour thrown at it by Sky, in a similar manner that Speedway did but it still seems to be unable to shake off it's cloth cap and whippets image and predominantly a northern sport. Snooker & Darts have managed to change their image, especially Snooker. What was once a past time to be play in a smokey hall no has a much more modern image Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Something to do with the NHS wanting a say... so if they've gone onto an NHS waiting list it could be another couple of years!

Coventry_Bee 467 Posted September 28, 2023 Well I think once the final bits are sorted in November the inspector will have a lot to think about. It’s such a tough one to call as if it was purely B.E vs SCS it may be different but is also the council’s position here that the inspector has to consider. The actual framework for the appeal goes much deeper than spectator or participants and lack of numbers in terms of attendances. I think Phil Morris’s opening statement really set the tone in my view that speedway has a future. Did anything B.E say really convince that the 3G pitch is a suitable replacement when you wheel out a potential buyer, a speedway promoter and nobody but B.E want the build. The locals or 96/4 against it too! The tick box of the pitch and the convenient damage of the stadium used to argue the viability to reopen the stadium! Luckily the inspector seems surprisingly a very down to earth and switched on person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
