speedy19902006 52 Posted June 29, 2022 Nick Brown MP still kicking around - wasn’t he in a parliament group for Speedway? … see nothing or hear anything of him… was he only kicking around in the George English days? Where’s he banging the drum beat?… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scampispeedway 67 Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) I've done a Google search for the plot of land mentioned, whilst a look at a Google map shows that there are no buildings on the dry flat land, it is in a Green Belt Area and the business that want to use it must have planning permission and be one of the following Manufacturing, Distribution, Energy Storage and Storage, therefore I doubt if a sports stadium to run speedway would be welcomed Any prospective buyers have to ask the seller how much it is going for as it is not listed, I take from reading the advert that they are looking for buyers that can create regular employment for the area.

nmagee72 5 Posted June 29, 2022 (edited) perhaps Gateshead Council might be more open ? there is a great location just off Albany Road/Quarryfield Road, behind the Dynamix Skate Park, currently a disused or rarely used Moto Cross/Off Road track. good parking, walking distance from gateshead interchange and all main routes etc there is a railway line right next to it so noise should not be an issue ? with the busy A184 also adjacent, while its clearly already had permission for some sort of motor sport activities. if you want to google map for a look, search "downcast studios" - its to the east over the railway line.

Is that not marked for development? Or is it just the skatepark/area around it being marked up for revamping?

scampispeedway 67 Posted June 29, 2022 I've just used Google map to have a look at the disused Motocross circuit and quite honestly it would cost a fortune to level the site which has no easy road access as you have remove the huge soil embankment behind some concrete blocks blocking the way into the site. From the look at the general state of the site, no bikes have been on the circuit for quite a while and there is really one narrow road access off the main road to Sunderland.

Shame we cant find a millionaire rebuild the motocross track, as this is popular hobby now. And add a speedway venue here too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
