whowasthatberntpersson Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 A question for the many speedway fans who followed racing at tracks that are now defunct. So where do supporters of clubs like Cradley, Birmingham, Halifax,Hackney, leicester Bradford, etc, etc. now get there fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 So where do supporters of clubs like Cradley, Birmingham, Halifax,Hackney, leicester Bradford, etc, etc. now get there fix? As an ex Leicester & Long Eaton supporter the answers simple, I don't. I'll probably see only two or three meetings this year. :x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 As an ex Leicester and Long Eaton (sometimes) supporter the answer's simple - I do. Couldn't be like Liontamer I'm afraid as I have to have my weekly fix, even if it did mean transferring to bitter rivals Coventry in 1984. :-( I know loads of Leicester fans wouldn't go to Coventry on principle when Leicester were shut down (by the Coventry management) but it was either that or just occasional visits elsewhere.

IAN2 Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 As a Canterbury fan I have to go out of Kent to see any League racing at all, make do with being on the track staff at Arena Essex as that is the only place to see the racing from the inside,but I'm no Arena fan and go just to keep my interest up. My real ambition is to see Sittingbourne ( Iwade ) overcome all its problems with the local Council,residents and Terry Russell to establish itself once and forall as a Conference League track with a future.

Liontamer Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 True, I could go to Coventry every week, there again I could stay at home, rub myself all over with a cheese grater & roll in salt..difficult choice. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Custom House Kid Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 As my username suggests i used to watch West ham from 65 till they folded in 71 (not counting 72) and simply stopped going. My intrest was awakend by Sky ! and have been to the odd meeting at Arena with my girls over the last couple of seasons but not as a supporter, however I think this season, I have got the bug back and will follow Arena when possible. Will still keep my West Ham avatar though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehone Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 so clear off & make your own jokes up. ok then... A man walks up to a woman in his office each day, stands very close to her,draws in a large breath of air and tells her that her hair smells nice. After a week of this, she can't stand it any longer, and goes to Human Resources. Without identifying the guy, she tells them what the co-worker does, and that she wants to file a sexual harassment suit against him. The HR supervisor is puzzled by this approach, and asks, "What's sexually threatening about a co-worker telling you your hair smells nice? The woman replies, "It's Keith, the midget." so there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
