To be clear - I have no knowledge whatsoever of this initiative, I am not involved with this promotion, nor have I been with any other aspect of speedway these last 20 years. My sole relationship with the sport is to watch it on TV (sometimes). This is all shooting in the dark. That said, the press release at the top of the thread came to my attention from an entirely random source the other day and I found it intriguing, since I live in MK and was involved with the Terry Cheney promotion back in 89-91, writing the programme and being banned by somebody for something, allegedly. In fact, I found the news intriguing enough to revive a log-in I had forgotten existed to make this, my first, post. The assertion that the potential promotion had sufficient credibility to get a hearing with the authorities immediately, and was ready to go "in 2015" was particularly striking, since there is no-one (and nowhere) in the city capable of meeting that description, to my knowledge. Who, then? Where? How? In the circumstances, another press release which came to my attention was also (arguably even more) intriguing. I read it through a couple of times and added two and two to make...who knows? Might be four, might be the square root of nada. Here's the link - read it yourself and see what your two and two make. (Spoiler / spoiler / spoiler / spoiler for people who can't stand the suspense - it's about how Towcester race-course is building a new greyhound track, which will be opening in December. Travel six miles down the A5 from Towcester race-course and you will read a sign that says "Welcome to Milton Keynes".) http://www.sis.tv/sis-blog/it%E2%80%99s-all-go-towcester-begins-work-greyhound-track John Callaghan
