Fina 78 Posted January 21, 2023 Looked up Shale Events Ltd on companies house. Only incorporated on 17th January 2023, only got one shareholder - Greg Notaro-Daniels - anyone heard of him? Seems very last minute if they have been putting a consortium together and putting so much effort and money into the application / presentation. And if it is a consortium wouldn't they all have some shares, not just one person? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Typically they will pass anything for a bung equally block anything for a nod and a wink. This is the territory of Rees Mogg and such types. So not wholly surprising. A massive shame if true. As for the speedway names implicated, one name wouldn't surprise me if being spiteful and envious and it wouldn't be Rosco or Godfrey. I dislike the Tories, but you are wrong on that too. Rees Mogg covers a completely different part of Somerset. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deano 1,318 Posted January 22, 2023 Surely it’s not that easy to get things kicked out of local government! Everyone would be doing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Cheese 2,025 Posted January 22, 2023 What power would the Hancock's have to contact Rob Godfrey and oppose them getting a licence? The club has been closed down, has no track and as far as we're aware they have no plans to reopen somewhere else. This new company was planning on using a different name and is 10+ miles away, surely it's irrelevant what the previous Somerset promotion think? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Najjer 2,890 Posted January 22, 2023 Another post on Facebook just now which is abit confusing again. Greg Daniels states he isn’t involved in running the speedway side but only in the launch and building of the stadium - abit confusing because why the need for the WSM Rebels Facebook page at the moment other than to report disappointing news? Clear as mud! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted January 22, 2023 I should imagine anyone, and I mean anyone, could put together a consortium or just themselves to start a new speedway club in Somerset. They certainly don’t have to ask permission from any other group or the Hancocks, who lost all rights the moment they shut down Somerset. They might have rights to the name but a new club could be called Somerset Saints. They would need a licence from the BSPA and pay bonds etc. But at the moment, no one has the god given right to say we can be the only group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unless the Hancocks still hold a promoters license, in which case nobody can open another track within a 30 mile radius. You’d assume they would lose that license when the track closed but who knows? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They surely forfeited any reason to keep a promoters licence. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
