  1. Not necessarily that straightforward for greenbelt. Still needs a strong planning justification for the site. Will it interfere with the openness of the greenbelt? What buildings/structures are being planned?
  2. Not bsns fault about the track. Poole is one of the worst tracks in the Championship for passing. Usually BSN are pretty clear with what matches are included in each package but I have the full package so not sure what you are referring to, but if they have made a mistake then get in touch with them? When I had an issue in the past they sorted it out swiftly.
  3. https://oxfordspeedway.club/2025/09/preview-spires-aim-to-go-out-with-a-bang/ Did they say they were definitely not running top flight? This article said the Spires would not run but did not rule out the Cheetahs running in the top flight.
  4. I agree Ipswich could host a GP. It's not as cut off as some stadiums in the series and has the capacity and logistics to host one. The only issue is the track.
  5. The SWC is definitely the better competition but I cant see a good reason why have they got rid of the race off!? Terrible decision
  6. With entertainment value you could have argued for Nicki Pedersen for a wildcard
  7. Pretty sure he was interviewed on BSN and he said it wasn't pronounced Nail.
  8. Enjoyed the meeting today and they did well to keep the dust down (except for heat 15). Track is usually excellent at BV so no surprise they always do a good job. Looked a good healthy crowd and unlike other events they seem to handle it well. The only minor point is the PA was barely audible except for when they went over to the Bvtv feed. Overall a good advert for those who were there for the first time/first time in a while which there was plenty of.
  9. Sheffields own social media team getting in on it 😂 Quoting Nick Morris... “I’m motivated now more than ever to have another crack at it.”
  10. I agree when I have seen him at Oxford he looks a good prospect
  11. https://open.spotify.com/episode/0WzQp6Fj5xXXPIGCCYbL13?si=3NoiWLIYR4e_ZYALomxKSg Must listen
  12. Excellent listen. A must for anybody who has an interest in retaining/bringing back speedway tracks. Reassuring to know that there are people with planning knowledge involved with these clubs. Brian really knows his stuff and sounds like he's working very hard!
  13. Pay the planners and they will find planning arguments to benefit the speedway. The issue is the developers have the money to fund them. Planning policy is there for both sides and there are protections in place. Also requires councillors who know what they are voting on in committees!

  15. I have read that they estimate 500 spectators. This could be a cause for concern on the viability of the new stadium. For those people who have proof that Swindon was previously getting a lot more spectators I would urge you to write to the planning officer Oliver Phippen with evidence and explain how Speedway is a much more viable business (supported with planning policy) in contradiction to the applicant's statement (Swindon Motorsports).
  16. Talking of rules are riders allowed to take the shortcut to tapes over the white line and around the tapes? Noticed it on more than one occasion at Manchester GPs.
  17. Most other venues are well organised and have extra facilities and extra food/drink outlets. Belle Vue had the same issues at the SON but did not learn any lessons. There were also ticketing issues at the SON too with valid tickets being rejected.
  18. Belle vue have put out this information. No apology for the shambles organisation.
  19. Was Mark Lemon not partly responsible? Same issues as SON thought they would have learnt from then!
  20. Great speedway! Best gp of the year by far. Shame about the organisation with ticket/catering issues as I mentioned before the event. Thought lessons would have been learnt from SON. Well done Bewley 👏
