  1. Planning permission has been granted SUBJECT TO a number of conditions. One of these is the completion of the section 106 agreement. So probably no track work until that has been signed off.
  2. The current view of bends 3/4 from the refs box is very poor, so moving bends 3 & 4 can only improve matters even if the refs box stays in its current position.
  3. And unlike burgers at almost every other track they actually have the taste and consistency of meat. And don't forget there is also lots of choice with hot meals in the bar too. And proper coffee. I tend to avoid speedway catering but this is yet another way in which Warriors put their 'bigger' rivals to shame.
  4. Of course there have never been any complaints about riders not getting paid in the UK?
  5. It is clear that the other clubs owe Chapman for enabling the league to continue and must have given tacit ( if not active) support for the purchases of Ippo and P'boro. But in the absence of a robust framework for the administration of the sport and the lack of checks and balances, it is not surprising that concerns are being expressed. But it is not as if the PL had much integrity to lose.
  6. Think that Buxton must be considering their options after a very trying season and may also be non-starters next season. It will be a real challenge for Kent to have weekly meetings and construct a varied fixture list.
  7. 52 In 2015 the new s106 agreement agreed alongside the new 2015 outline planning permission sought to further safeguard the delivery of the new stadium, amongst other planning considerations and included the following requirements; a) To submit an application for reserved matters approval for the new stadium before the defined "long stop date" and to use their reasonable endeavours to obtain planning consent for the new stadium on or before the new stadium reserved matters planning application long stop date; this was defined as 12 months after completion of the agreement, namely before April 2016. b) That the applicant use "their reasonable endeavours to ensure and/or procure Practical Completion of the New Stadium" on or before the defined stadium construction "long stop date", defined as 18 months after the completion of the agreement in April 2015, namely before October 2017. c) Not to occupy any additional residential units constructed on land identifie d within the agreement (described as the "restricted zone" that is occupied by the existing stadium) until the practical completion of the New Stadium. d) To make provision for a site for the Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service (now the Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service) for a new fire station north. 53 As described above at paragraph 15 above, although an application for reserved matters approval for the new stadium was approved in August 2016, the works to carry out the development did get underway and the new stadium was not completed in accordance with the agreed "long stop date" of October 2017. The Borough Solicitor formally notified the applicant and other parties with an interest in the land, that the failure to provide the open space andto complete the new stadium was in breach of the s106 agreement.
  8. Para 54: a) No additional housing is to be developed until the new stadium is operational and substantially complete. (Definition of operational and substantial completion to be agreed.) And given that the applicants have ignored all previous section 106 agreements who could imagine that there will be any problems agreeing these definitions?
  9. An inaccurate comment from the club. Planning permission has been granted SUBJECT TO THE SIGNING OF A SECTION 106 AGREEMENT. And as para 55 of the report states "the matters raised are complex and difficult to resolve" and this planning application does not resolve them. Given the history of this application and the applicants previous (in)actions it would be unwise to assume that this will be resolved in short order.
  10. "Subject to section 106 agreement" It's not all over yet.
  11. NO. In very rare circumstances permission is tied to the applicant ( e.g. an alteration to a domestic residence to accommodate a person's disabilities), but it generally relates to the site. Sometimes permission is originally given for a trial period ( as happened at Sittingbourne) but this will be followed by a permanent use application at the end of a trial period.
  12. Surely Shielfield already has planning consent for speedway. If so why would it need future planning permission.
  13. Some interesting stats here: http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attn/avepol.htm For example Torun is over 100km from it's nearest ekstraliga team (Plock) [ditto Gorzow and Szczecin]
  14. As Mildenhall speedway must be a fully taxable VAT registered business all the input VAT on the rent would be fully recoverable so not a cost to Mildenhall speedway. So he rent has stayed the same.
  15. Yes. Third in AMA National championship. (He would have finished second had he not missed a round). Note visa rules may change following Brexit, but that is unlikely to have any impact before 2020.
  16. That is a great turn of phrase and an accurate description of where we are.
  17. Comets deserve particular praise for the way they stuck with Kyle. He got his best score yet last night and it was his pass of Wajtknecht in heat 11 that mathematically pushed Comets over the finishing line. I'm glad he has proven that Worky were justified in supporting Kyle when he was finding the adjustment to CL difficult.
  18. I'd guess 1300-1500, but I am not very familiar with the stadium so it is a very rough estimate. 1100 may be a fair figure for adult admissions
  19. Usually it is quoted as a 30 mile area of exclusivity ( there are some obvious historical exceptions). So for example I believe attempts by a Norwich based group to introduce speedway at Swaffham were torpedoed by an objection from King's Lynn. The licence will expire after the track stops operating ( So for example David Hemsley at Leicester acquired a new licence off the BSPA rather than buy an existing one.) Not sure there is a fixed period but three years seems about typical. Licences can also be transferred, so for example Newcastle's licence moved to Reading in 1971 and Reading's to a new venue at Sunderland [yes I know they ran in 64].
  20. Remember that there is already a disciplinary black Mark against Mildenhall for not fulfilling a fixture. http://www.speedwaygb.co.uk/news.php?extend.30909 Discussed at length here
  21. Are they doing buy one get one frees yet?
  22. Let us be clear. There is and never has been any rule anywhere in the rulebook that makes Nick Morris an eligible guest in the second leg. We can debate whether or not it was appropriate for the SCB to sanction his use but it certainly wasn't within the rules as laid down in the rulebook.
  23. All insurances run to 31 October. New policies would be required.
