British Track Tour - Places, Faces & What You Remember
Paulco replied to TonyMac's topic in Years Gone By
Going back to my youth when Glasgow raced at Hampden Park . Glasgow had an evening newspaper then called the Evening Citizen , and on a Friday it was the Speedway special , with it almost completely dedicated to that week's home meeting . Now we're lucky to get a couple of lines in a newspaper . -
Was that the same season you had Rickardsson " testing engines " or was that earlier ?
-
I was there that night , Jason Lyons and Jesper were on an easy 5-1 and inexplicably rode into each other on the 3rd bend

British Track Tour - Places, Faces & What You Remember

Rye House - the Rye pub , no where better on a Summer day to sit in a beer garden and have a meal before the speedway . Scunthorpe - the wind , why does it get so windy there ? Workington - marvelling at how our supporters coach driver manages to get the coach over that wee bridge to get into the car park . And sitting with the Mildenhall supporters in the stand , at the fours one year , and having the bar staff bring the beers up to us . Somerset - everything about the place , I just love the Oak Tree Arena Newcastle - bit lacking in atmosphere with supporters all just congregated in the one place . Kings Lynn - Watching in amazement as piles and piles of shale gets dumped on the starting gate just before the start . Ipswich - the home fans , great bunch of people . Berwick - how cold it can be , but the town itself is lovely Edinburgh - as i'm trying to be nice - it has a good bar . Newport - miss that place , made some great friends there Plymouth - cracking wee track Glasgow - of all our various homes - I miss Shawfield . Canterbury - got drunk in a pub called the Monument after watching us getting pumped Mildenhall - cracking wee place with a nice bar Redcar - great fans and I loved the 3rd and 4th bend banking Leicester - seeing our biggest ever away win there 62-28 in 2011 Coventry - the bridge over the pits Belle Vue - Kirky Lane - Thinking this was a plush place when I paid to get in - then I went outside . Sheffield - Love the New Barrack Tavern across the road on PLRC day Swindon - bit of a dump and the lavvys on the back straight . Nearly got left there as I spent too long in the bar after the meeting at the 2007 PLRC . Poole - dodgy track , but good big bar . Paisley - I could walk to there and back Peterborough - another of my favs - beer's a bit expensive though . Stoke - trip back in time , nice big bar , but the beer's not very good -

It's all opinions as you say . It's going to be a tough battle right to the wire for the play off places , if the rumours are to be believed about Peterborough putting together a galactico side , only really Scunthorpe and Berwick are out of the play off picture . -
Kenneth Hansen coming across as a very angry and bitter man in this morning's Scottish newspaper . It's reported he went on a social media rant attacking the Edinburgh track it wins awards too . He blasted " What a f.....g joke ! How can anyone prepare a track like that for speedway ? " " Smashed bike thanks to another rider with no control over his bike . And now sacked by pboro (sic) , could have saved me the journey to Edinburgh then " . He also blasted Ricky Wells who claimed " nothing wrong with the track " .

You're ticking along very nicely under the radar , definite serious play off candidates . -
I agree , everything the Facenna's have done has improved the speedway experience in Glasgow immensely , why that hasn't included covers for the track is baffling . Berwick do things very well , we have been fortunate to be where we are , without the financial clout behind us it's doubtful we'd still be running . We don't want to develop a smugness associated with elsewhere , so we wont go down the road of claiming we're in front of anybody .

If it wasn't bad enough suffering a rain off at Glasgow , I had to watch this bilge as well . What a crappy track to hold a GP on .
-
Thought we might have survived the 5 o clock downpour , but as per usual the rain gods went " haha get it right up you speedway fans " and then it stopped soon as the meeting was called off . Dragging myself into Glasgow on a Saturday night is hard enough without the raingod taking the piss So it was back home to watch the GP on a dodgy track .
