I can't see anyway that BSPL would accept them while Buster still has the Peterborough "Asset" for sale 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AEPG have treated local residents with contempt over this and their decision to not cut the grass on site, indeed parts of the Showground are now like a jungle, the residents have been stirred (with a gentle nudge from me) into action. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TTT 1,229 Posted August 2, 2023 1 hour ago, Bald Bloke said: If what Gasser said is the case, then surely Tomalin and Johnson have got a free run to start a new speedway club?, Workington style maybe at first ,without paying Buster a thing. They have been looking for a new site, and they might have the land or not depending on which part of the same statement CJ made about 3 weeks ago is correct.. “I’m going to carry on trying to find a new site for a track because I don’t want Peterborough speedway to finish. I’d never want it to finish, but I can’t continue with the owner who is there and that’s not going to change as we stand. “I’ve been the one pushing for new land for a new stadium. I’m the one who has done all the background work, all the footwork, and we have got a piece of land waiting for us. No point imo because the sport has only got 2 years max left in this country imo, They'll just lose a lot of money in a short space of time. We've only got 16 teams in the PREM/CHAMP now and at least 6 (possibly rising to 7 or 8) of those have a question mark over their future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only way speedway in the UK will survive is if the PL & CL merge and and CL team who don't want that level of expense can drop to the NDL. The one thing I'd insist on is the CL teams have an equal if not greater input as they are the majority as it stands 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
