    Bradford hoped the crowd would move an-mass from Halifax,but it didn't.There were unique circumstances that kept Halifax crowds healthy,certainly by today's standards,but there was no way they could be replicated at Odsal.

    I'm not sure The betting companies would be interested in speedway,all gambling is open to "fixing",but speedway perhaps more than most.Engine failures,falls,missing the gate,getting filled in,,perhaps too much risk for the bookies.

    Probably the most likely outcome is that there will be no league speedway on tv for at least two years.

    No,from what I have read,discovery is staying with Warner Bros.as is TNT USA,but Netflix is taking TNT international.All this could take up to 12-18 months to finalise,so I guess a lot of things are in limbo for now.

    I think Yarmouth were the first visitors to the shay in Halifax,in the late 1950s,I'm sure I saw something on you tube about it.

    , TNT international are going to Netflix,as part of the deal to buy Warner Bros. streaming service.So it could be all up in the air again.Discovery are staying with Warner Bros.

    Maybe another provincial league to be formed.

    Owlerton is practically D shaped,no long straits there.

    Works for football.

    What happened to all the rakers who used to pull the dirt back after every heat.Most were volunteers who did it for the free admission and a sense of being involved,so it can't have been a cost cutting measure.

    But he would have been disqualified. anyway,as there were two riders with yellow helmets.

    It's that bad they have turned their backs to the track.

    There were only 3 stock car meetings last year,and I think they have moved them to Bradford.
  14. Derrickn
    That's the one.

    There was a doctor,who's name I can't remember,back in the 60s/70s,who many riders with a broken scaphoid went to,and he seemed to be able to get them back racing quite quickly.
