Defunct tracks and what’s now built on their sites?

Pennycross stadium was demolished. Now a housing estate. -
Giuseppe rode eleven meetings for Wolves in 1976, achieving a 3.22 average.

Neither Trelawny or Somerset had stadiums but every visit was memorable and the racing was first class.

Some hopeful news in today's Express and Star. CVS quoted as stating a site has been idebtified 'fifteen miutes from Monmore'.Early days. -
Raking this up in this context is pretty despicable.

I have read the news item on the BSPA site and it seems that Lambert is a guest for Musielak. Sheffield are 'monitoring' Tai's progress on Sunday and Lawson is standing by to guest. Drew Kemp stands in for Claus Vissing. Admittedly though, the news item is badly written and is less than clear.

Sad news. A rarity in sport, a competitor that did not divide opinion. He was respected and admired by all. I was lucky to see him throughout his long and illustrious career. One of the great guys.

More likely this rather than next.

1972 clearly a good year: Dave Gifford scored a paid max from reserve in May against Halifax.
-
I have a vague recollection of Tom Leadbitter scoring 15 at the spoons. Was it at reserve? Someone will be along……

Becker has a hand injury. An update is expected tomorrow morning. (Taken from OS)

Heat 13 is on the Wolves twitter feed.

The first meeting I went to featured a guest rider. That was well over fifty years ago. Additionally, I would venture that in a hierarchical list of 'the banes of British speedway', guest riders would not feature highly. Just an opinion.

A mention too for Jan Simensen. One of so many swedes who made riding a speedway bike look like the easiest thing in the world.

........and that was just on the track!
