Great night out, and still had the weekend to come. And not having to et up for work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beowulf 1,513 Posted November 3, 2023 12 hours ago, MattB said: It'll be a very basic venue to start with. Not a chance of the stadium being at the same standard as the NSS from the word go. Long way to go, bit hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel for us getting back. The only concern would be getting to the site on public transport if its any distance away. Fine work those of us with cars, but maybe not so much for those who used to hop on the 79 bus to get to Monmore No chance of that in the long run either. Wolves Council will be unwilling/incapable of providing the same level of support that Belle Vue have had from Manchester Council. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very basic to start with but perseverance and patience will bring improvements. Does anyone have any information how that all began was it supported by the local council or privately?

HGould 2,213 Posted November 3, 2023 Wish them well Most brownfield within that sort of time from City Centre would be either in the Monmore vicinity or on the old industrial sites round by Goodyear. There are very nice residential areas out towards Penn, Tettenhall, Bridgnorth and Pendeford, Perton, that would never get planning permission. Jaguar site at M54 or within current Bilston area would sound most logical. What Wolves do have is a Council VERY keen on Sport in general, team and Olympic Sports and Amateur sports.

Yes most of the derelict industrial sites are between Monmore and the railway station with virtually zero housing to worry about. Who owns them is another question altogether, it's probably not Wolverhampton Council that's for sure. Presumably a commercially owned site is unlikely to be affordable for Wolves unless it's offered on reduced terms 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When the football club were in trouble the council stepped in. I believe they own the land on which Molineux stands, Wolves own the infrastructure ie the stadium. Therefore, the council control what happens on that land. I, obviously stand to be corrected on this, if it has changed. So if the council own the rumoured site at i54, I would take that as a very positive sign. They are not going to pump loads of money in, but if they 'allow' speedway a presence, that would be a very good start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
