The press release from Warriors Shale Track Club says that the Plymouth promotion have told them that they cannot hire the stadium due to pressure from SCB. I will alter my original post to SCB instead of BSPL who I still suspect are behind this. 

Doesn’t add up though, does it? They , the SCB , are happy that other tracks run both so why not Plymouth ? The SCB or BSPL cannot stop a stadium owner hiring their stadium to whoever they please

Does the Plymouth promotion own the stadium? If that is the reason SCB/BSPL have been able to stop NORA92 league racing then the Plymouth promotion need to sell to a company set up to run the stadium which they can totally control while still saying it is not them who are hiring the stadium out!

No idea, most clubs don’t own the stadiums they run in.

Its not about tracks holding Nora events, its about a potential breakaway league..

Nothing of the sort. There isn’t any clubs looking at a breakaway league, simply the IOW wanting some competition running amateur racing in the south of the country.

The revised fixture list for IOW Warriors is now on their website.

Could it be that St.Boniface`s Catholic College will not allow it to be sub leased and that is all it is and not a conspiracy?

Wouldn’t know, just others making 2+2 = 7.

So who owns it?

You are good at algebra, is it right? How did you come to that conclusion and what does it mean?

Can only go off whats been put into press rather than hearsays etc but its certainly bold and clear that IOW find the SCB responsible for the prevention of Nora action at Plymouth.....i also see there has been a rebrand to remove the association to Speedway.

Cannot believe that you couldnt use "Speedway" in the title..

Its not like the UK has a tradenark for the word is it? 

Many countries use the term, including the USA for even other forms of motorsport, and the actual tracks themselves..

Worst case scenario, call it "Motor Speedway" and say you are calling it that to differentiate it from "Cycle Speedway" in the eyes of the public..

Perhaps its an IOW choice to try and differentiate from Speedway as much as they can as despite their best efforts to boost the sport in the UK (would love to know the number of first timers who visit IOW, have a great time and then spend money at a more local track) they continue to face difficulties from senior parties within the sport, all who would cry to the press in a second if a single person made their business operation difficult.

I read all of this, then this week in the speedway star a half page feature on the British amateur league, all being run at scunthorpe.  It's using several NDL riders plus some unattached riders. Made up and ghost teams, Not that different to IOW,  but hey, who runs scunthorpe?

What ghost teams are taking part? Considering Reading, MK, Weymouth and Carmarthen  were all told they couldnt use those names in the Development Leagues any more, this would be the biggest piss take of all.
