  1. I thought Speedway World packed a lot of information into its mere 8 pages. I recall it gave a decent amount of coverage to the SAL and Open-licence teams.
  2. Doesn't mean jack, he still doesn't own the stadium. I could open a company tomorrow called, for example, NewPooleStadium Ltd but it wouldn't mean I was going to do anything about building it.
  3. I'd presume a one-off at that price.
  4. The same KK who was nailed-on for a max home and away v Somerset?
  5. Thought that was near the Abbey Stadium.
  6. If it were to be the only British SGP would that still be an argument when somewhere like Teterow is in the calendar?
  7. It's generally accepted now that many of those huge pre-war crowds were exaggerated. That West Ham example for instance is thought to have been closer to 40,000.
  8. Hush Puppy McCarthy & Stone Werthers Wulf Sport
  9. It has to be 1998, Poole 27 Ipswich 63, during Ipswich's all conquering season. Yes, they were very strong but Poole were awful that night.
  10. Bradford Odsal Brafield (Northampton Raceway)
  11. This is painful to read but I guess the former benefits from easy participation at all levels and the latter is all about betting. Speedway offers neither.
  12. Isn't it a condition that they can't sell more than a certain number of houses (200) until the new stadium is built?
  13. I'd be happy to live next door to speedway track and I'd guess plenty of other fans would be too.
  14. Really? I think cricket, especially test matches, is much better.
  15. Middlesbrough closed for good (1996?) but have since re-opened as Redcar of course.
  16. Odsal is too big for league speedway with today's crowds. Big meetings will be better served by the purpose-built Belle Vue so I can't see any viable use case for it.
  17. Do you not think if it was that easy someone wouldn't already be running it? Basically, the current owners have no intention of allowing it to be used by any tenant, preferring to see it fall into disrepair.
  18. Next month. Don't get too excited though - it's only a parade, no racing.
  19. What are the odds of the bulldozers 'accidentally' flattening it?
  20. Grasstrack is on its knees apart from a couple of meetings a year.
