I've been going to speedway since the late seventies, clubs have gone by the wayside over the years, as they did in the 60s too, for one reason and another, certainly hasn't all happened recently. Clubs went under even when we had all the top riders racing here, what about that, unbelievable!
I often think about the Firs Stadium in Norwich which was sold off for housing in the mid sixties when the crowds were still big, I think there was another stadium close by called the City Stadium which staged greyhound racing, shame there wasn't the hunger to keep the sport in the city as it would still be popular I'm sure.
On another note who has watched the film produced by the Glasgow promotion telling the world all about speedway, it's great, well done to them!
