There are people who want to. Understandbly, they do not want to enter into an arrangement with good old Clarkey boy... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25yearfan 476 Posted March 29 If the laws of the land are applied Osbourne and Co will be severely reprimanded for the planning breaches and the current application for change of use will be thrown out. A question for those who may know - With the stadium carpark now built on would it be possible for speedway to restart at Blunsdon stadium without such a facility? - Where would supporters park?

Same as at any other track without parking - on surrounding roads and in public carparks. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would have to be on local business car parking, such as the David Lloyd Centre or somewhere in Groundwell Ind Estate with a park n ride system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Really hope im wide of the mark but just reading through these pages it seems like Osbourne and co could do anything!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It does seem like they have always had a long term plan to deal with any eventuality so who knows? Would laugh my nuts off if someone was to come forward and offer to run Speedway, I'm sure if the council backed them he couldnt refuse. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
