Complex negotiations are ongoing Fingers crossed for a success resolution

Did ok in the GP series but no impact in the Premier League but thats hardly surprising given the current set up

It may not be that simple depending on the lease arrangement. Fingers crossed the speedway can continue though

If the lease allows assignment and/or if the landlords are so minded Fingers crossed for a resolution

It's all very Birmingham isn't it but that's no surprise to anyone They will have to try and change it up as the season progresses but even that has become incredibly difficult now

No big hitter

I guess what it means is that some of the serious stuff hasn't yet been sorted They are certainly taking their time i can understand the team not being announced until it's complete though

Todays Star says "we understand that there is a wish that all relevant club information will be announced at the same time"

No recognised no 1 for Northampton and Tai mentioned specifically in this weeks Star

Not Charles Wright and no deal with Tungate as yet

My money is on the BV guys and Facenna

They are telling themselves what the requirements are....

Perhaps given the time constraints they've just had to make arrangements quickly for the coming season and they will develop things as they go

That's very interesting, so the Brandon site will appear in the New Local plan as a site where a CPO will be attempted?

Thanks. That will at least give an early indication of any change in approach by the Council

Interesting post. Are there any council elections due in Rugby in the near future that may have an effect on a CPO being considered?

They have. I had Lawson nailed on for Northampton, maybe Ippo made a better offer?

I might be wrong but I think Ford was being touted as the promoter of the Bees, not sure he was/is investing in the project

I've heard a few names over the duration of the Northampton story but none of the 4 mentioned and given that the team has been built by others I'd be surprised I suppose Adams might be an outside shout as TM and (as with Ipswich) he could also act as a promoter if required

The money for Coventry is being put up by the stock car people isn't it?

I would add Lidsey

Iversen

Now Ipswich are announced it must be time to put a Lid on this Northampton stuff...

Unlikely was what was said to me today, probably won't do the UK

I don't blame him tbh, he's getting on a bit now and with the general state of the sport you've really got to find somewhere that can sustain a multi facet operation and then pull all those strings together. I look at Coventry and it appears that its mainly being underwritten by people on the stock car side which Wolves of course don't have. If there are any people interested in trying to get Wolves off the ground (anywhere other than Monmore) then I've not come across them
