Not a word about the thousands who have booked hotel rooms/travel etc If there was any doubt about the viability of the event why announce the date? Shambolic

Even if it survives a council meeting what will happen if it gets appealed to the planning inspectorate?

There's a fair bit if derelict industrial land around Wolverhampton but it'll all be privately owned. South Staffs has never had a speedway track and I'd be amazed if their planners would be in favour of one but you never know. The required highway works for the site in question add another huge complication. I'd imagine the promotion will issue an update presumably between now and the start of the 2025 season but it's unlikely to say much of note

Interesting re Musielak, I wonder who Oxford might go for

The top 3 look nailed on barring disasters It'll be a good scrap between Leicester, Lynn and Oxford for 4th, any one of them could get it but if Oxford do get Musielak it should be them

By a miniscule amount starting from a low base, Tolley also admitted that signing Freddie didn't particularly result in increased crowds He doesn't need ex Wolves riders and staff just good riders and staff

They had several ex Wolves last year, made virtually zero difference to attendances sadly and this wouldn't either

Be a good scrap for 4th between Leicester, Oxford and Lynn I reckon

Agree with all that but we are where we are, do they try and preserve what is there now or do we just accept the natural order and work out what to do when 5 teams are left? Tricky

The problem with the football analogy is that those teams will never run out of opposition to play, that's a real possibility for speedways premier league. Leave Birmingham and Lynn if you like to it but don't complain when there are only 5 teams left

Indeed, the other option is effectively rider control but nobody bar the bottom 2 clubs possibly would ever vote for that. When the likes of Birmingham do finally pack it and the top clubs have nobody to race but themselves they can't say they weren't warned

Who is worse?

Many are selling assets (East Herts my local council being one) few if any are buying them but there's always a chance

In what context is a section 21 notice relevant here?

I'd be surprised in this financial climate if the Council has the money to buy anything unless there's some possibility of today's equivalent of council housing being built on it

The same four team tournament every week...it's a winner

Indeed as mentioned elsewhere on this thread the "big hitters" may end up with only themselves to ride very soon.

Adams senior won't do it he's confirmed it many times already, Wolves or nowt

Give him full control he'd do it I reckon

Isn't this fund being run by the supporters club not the speedway promotion? I think that any money raised should be held in escrow until they start the 2025 season, using it to pay off debts I don't feel is appropriate but that's up to the individual I guess

No news at all, anything that might even be possible is many years away at best

Sky easily with Nigel and Kelvin

The only interview worth watching this season was Abi asking Hawkins about Sayfutdinov. She is ok in what is these days a low budget production Nicholls had never asked a searching question of anyone however like Louis he's very good on the technical side

Swindon were fortunate to get permission, I know Wolves and Sheffield have attempted changes that would have involved taking up part of the centre green certainly in Sheffield 's case, but were refused..in the main greyhound landlords seem to be protective of that area. As you say too late for Brum now regardless

Good summary
