  1. Be careful , you could be next on his "hit list".
  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladbrokes_Coral Think you will find your answer here.
  3. Target reached ! Just read some of the lovely comments from contributors which shows how much this place means to them.
  4. I think it is tremendous how people have responded to this in just a few days, it proves just how much Brandon Stadium means to them.
  5. very true , but if you consider the other close by areas (Aston - Smethwick- Hockley etc) probably no worse.
  6. You might like to try this. just a few minutes away from the speedway stadium + no worries about parking & congestion charging . https://www.dayoutwiththekids.co.uk/attractions/sandwell-valley-country-park-f91ab204
  7. Anyone who has commented previously regarding the planning proposal will receive a letter from Rugby Council explaining the procedure of the appeal. It does state in the letter that any comments ,or modification/withdrawal of previous representations can be made at https://acp.planninginspectorate.gov.uk I am presuming anyone is able to comment there. Fingers crossed. APPEAL REFERENCE APP/E3715/W/23/3322013 APPEAL REFERENCE R18/0186
  8. Definitely is , but it seems the people who run the sport will continue to offer their many reasons/excuses why an earlier call off wasn't made.
  9. Both Col & Jim were in the bees team when I saw my first speedway meeting , must have been around 1960.Very sad news.
  10. You should be ok . Apparently Emil took to track "like a duck to water" so he'll be fine whatever the conditions.
  11. Yes , but we know the start marshal can take great care to get them lined up & the second he moves away at least one rider will back off from the tapes undoing everything he has attempted to achieve .
  12. "Pete Adams barbed & tongues" all together seems appropriate.
  13. Could be , there definitely needs to be some sort of punishment for moving at the start, otherwise it would soon be chaos.
  14. But surely that would just encourage them all to "try it on" & we would soon be back to the bad old "Rawhide" days ,you know "rollin- rollin-rollin".?
  15. This could be a big day for GB speedway, he mentions integrity & transparency amongst his aims. That would be a massive step forward.
  16. Plus a further court punishment for breaching the conditions of said order.
  17. Probably because Poland has it's fair share of "numpties" just as we do in the UK.
  18. Possibly Ipswich had their hand forced somewhat with the "naughty" press release by Sportowefakty yesterday?
  19. Of course the application could have already been made.prior to the news breaking
  20. Nothing to do with judging from the terraces , I have never stated whether the tracks were suitable or not.It's all about principles, but of course having been tutored about speedway by Mr Ford you wouldn't understand anything about those.
  21. You are getting closer.I think it's fair to say Chapman doesn't want Holder back on his payroll but not for the reasons you suggest.
  22. In my view withdrawing & walking out of a meeting in the fashion that they did is about as disgusting as it gets. Riders "pootling aroiund at the back" is seriously wrong too but proving that riders are guilty of that is not so easy as they will always have a reason why it happened ie bike issues & unfortunately the sport isn't managed well enough to dispute any excuse riders mighjt use
  23. If all riders adopted that approach every time they didn't fancy the conditions we would see very few meetings completed, & to walk out of the meeting was completely out of order. If had been paying the bills neither Holder nor his pal would have ever seen any of my money again.
