All 3 are viable, but trying to do it on a 'shoe string', means it might or may not happen. If there was money in the sport, they never would have closed, even Plough Lane.

Plough Lane closing had nothing to do with viability. The owners wanted to develop the site, and 600 flats in London was worth much more than rent from speedway and stick cars. It was lucrative enough for the owners to give AFC Wimbledon the land and £12m ( other £17m) towards the stadium build costs so that they could say to Merton Council that sports use was being maintained on the site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
