"No certainty" beyond end of 2024. 2023 and 2024 he asks fans to "enjoy" as there is no certainty beyond that. It may well be a window could open for 2025 but give people credit for having read the whole article about which Matt Ford HAS BEEN incredibly frank! Having worked for BCP Council (which is now under a new administration) for over 16 years, I have some understanding of how the forward-planning for major schemes works. BCP have inherited from the previous administration a 'Local Plan' for the 'regeneration of Poole Town Centre', which currently does NOT mention Poole Stadium at all - except for an earlier suggestion about building on the part of Wimborne Road which backs onto the Stadium Lorry Park. Also there is no developer proposal lodged with the Council's Planning department, quite apart from no agreed sale of the whole Stadium site!! Such an agreement and proposal would be subject to a huge public consultation for which there would be considerable objections IMO even if all those objections were to be overcome and any stadium development for housing were to proceed, it would take a minimum of several years to reach fruition. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I work for a local council and have dealings with the Planning team and I concur with the above If anything, I'd say 'several years' is possibly a little optimistic. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is very true see Arena Essex. As with Arena though there is absolutely no certainty that speedway could/will continue whilst it all plays out. Fingers crossed for the Pirates 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Him and Tate Zischke and only 6 points between the 2 so lots for the top 5 . Young Tate only 2 weeks into returning to racing following his 6 plus months out on medical grounds in Aussie scored 8 plus 2 bp from 5 rides for Leszno 2 weeks ago.

I think we all need to know what the League(s) format is/are and the team building points limit before anyone starts talking rider options!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's the only non-2pointer that fits average-wise. Although I reckon Stewart Dickson will have a major say in both Thompsons and Boughens immediate speedway futures!!

lisa-colette 6,034 Posted August 13, 2023 Depends if he is up for it. If Adam not gonna be fit for playoffs then need a replacement imo as it will be a guest from Berwick, Plymouth and Brum/Edinburgh. We could do with Brum not making it so we can use Hagon.
