Plymouth 2027

[Happy Hunter]

According to Plymouth's website they need to raise £46,000 for a new track fence by 3rd November, the date of the Speedway AGM. See the Gladiators website for how you can help!

Total going up quite slowly atm. Maybe the club could do some fundrasing. Like Barker could do a sponsored silence or whatever..

Think you've been mislead. Joe T was being confirmed for the individual meeting

Firstly best of luck to Plymouth, really hope they can come to the tapes in 2027 as we can ill afford to lose any more teams, particularly in the South.

However I do have a genuine question, why have they waited so long to start and appeal as they appear to be up against it now with only 3-4 weeks to raise the money by the deadline. Have they only just found out they needed to replace the fence? Only asking as if they’d had the whole season to request donations then I’d have been happy to chip in monthly for example.

£46k sounds a lot for a airfence especially at the uks smallest track.  If they can’t raise the total required and don’t race will the money be returned to the people on go fund me ?

Is it REALLY a Top priority shelf life might be near end but surely there could be a bit of leeway in these situations Although Plymouth must have known about earlier surely.

I think that  BSPL insist that the air fence is no more than 10 years old, worky had to get a new air fence as the old one ex scunny was out of date, but I think in this financial climate the fence should have an MOT type test done every season, and clubs could get a couple more years out of them.

If the fence is out of date, you can get a one year extension if approved after inspection, maybe it failed, so this could explain the late call to arms..
