When I spoke to Lebedevs after the Riga GP he really didn't seem keen on riding in the UK. Would Thorssell fit? Or has he already signed up for Poland/Sweden and Denmark? What about Basso? Would Tarasenko be interested in the UK again?

Yes I find it very baffling. Also I would be interested to know what the legal advice was that they received as it's all very vague. Maybe worth putting in a freedom of information request?

The problem is councillors aren't really experts in planning policy so that's why a town planner is needed to build the case, present the policy based argument and know the system inside out. One of the reasons given for the callin was a "lack of planning reasons" and "outdated policies".

If the decision was to go down the judicial review path there would need to be strong evidence that decisions had been made not in line with the local policies. Therefore it would be useful for a Town Planner to work on this.

Policy LP30: Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities. This policy reads: Existing Culture, Leisure, Tourism and Community Facilities The loss, via redevelopment, of an existing culture, leisure, tourism or community facility will only be permitted if it is demonstrated that: The facility is demonstrably no longer fit for purpose and the site is not viable to be redeveloped for a new community facility; or l. The service provided by the facility is met by alternative provision that exists within reasonable proximity: what is deemed as reasonable proximity will depend on the nature of the facility and its associated catchment area; or m. The proposal includes the provision of a new facility of a similar nature and of a similar or greater size in a suitable on or off-site location.

All depends if they make use of the available remaining points

I'm not a Glasgow fan but I must say that's a brilliant creative way to announce the team well done to whoever put that together. Also looks a solid side on paper.

Also now have to pay £2 for car parking on Unipart

I've just been on the phone to an official source from the FIM and they say if you close down your forum account in protest then they may consider putting Laguta back in.

Wroclaw ticks all the boxes

Certainly agree. And for me the wildcards would be Doyle and Michelsen and then Emil and Artem - if not Madsen and either Magic/Dudek.

Could KL go for Vaclav Milik at reserve? He was mentioned by Rob Lyon on the recent podcast with him.

https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/politics/peterborough-council-rejects-proposal-to-make-panthers-speedway-track-an-asset-of-community-value-4774704 Disappointing news. Was the ACV submitted with assistance from a town planner and submitted with a full business plan of the running of speedway?

Is the speedway on the national or local list of heritage assets? If not I don't think it's a relevant argument

I asked him in Riga and he said he did not want to do the UK

Lebedevs said he doesn't want to ride in the UK

Enjoyed this afternoons meeting. Close throughout some good racing and a bit of drama with Pickering!

That is correct. Brennan guests at BV. R/R at Sheffield

Very much doubt he will be racing so soon? Also under a different race number to his usual so will probably be R/R.

Ben Trigger guests for Killeen tonight who sits out tonight.

He was good entertainment in Manchester looking forward to it.

A GB 1 and 2 in our home GP. A Gold in the Pairs. No complaints from me.

No pressure particularly as he had a warning on his back. He is so laid back but do we underestimate the effort he still puts in? I think he enjoys it which is the main thing

Class on and off the bike
