Chris Harris, Hans Andersen, Ritchie Worrall and Josh Pickering all binned off... the arm band seems a bit of a poisoned chalice... or completely meaningless Apart from the toss I don't think captains have the same time to help and/or motivate team mates during meetings these days so the position maybe doesn't carry the prestige it once did. But then again that can be said of a few things in speedway such as The BLRC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've known Stewart a long time and he is one of the best in the business and the number of errors he has made can be counted on one hand. However, with all respect to Batch, I felt that was a knee jerk reaction in response to the Morris situation moreso at Leicester than Birmingham. Can only wish all the riders involved success in the months to come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way it'll be a stay of execution if we get another year rather than a long term thing And who told you that? AEPG are not willing to talk to anyone allegedly and the EEAS are oblivious to what's going on (or they don't care), have put their faith in the wrecking crew they contracted to carry out their business and are happy for their legacy for the next few years to be an unkept dump & car park/garage and unused but useable speedway circuit.

scoobydoo 2,259 Posted August 6, 2023 Is the Events Centre owned by AEPG now or has it remained in the hands of the showground manafement or another private ownership Cannot see many shows or Events wanting to use the place if the surrounding areas become untidy and prime vandal and joyriding hotspots .

AEPG Don’t own anything, they are tenants with a remit to develop the land, they only get paid, as do the EoEAS, when something is built.They can’t build anything without planning approval, one would assume that AEPGs contract with EoEAS says they have to maintain the Showground until something is built. The EoEAS still own the Showground. Edited August 6, 2023 by Mick Bratley Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the Info , so the discussions of any further lease approval for the use of the track etc was carried out with the EoEAS then as someone else said it was AEPG who said no to any further lease , Cant see the Events Centre being very popular and in much use then for shows etc if the surrounding areas are just left to rack and ruin Edited August 6, 2023 by scoobydoo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
