FenTiger76 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I was flicking through some old speedway stars last night from 1975. Early in the year mention was made a couple of times that Blackburn were looking to open a track and run in the then New National League. It then all went quiet. I know they did not ride that year or any future years, but does anyone have any info on why? and also where the track was to be situated and what is there today?

Main Man Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Planning permission and noise tests stopped it. It was Mike Parker behind it and after the failure no one tried again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can't at the moment --also the articles in the Star were written by me --- so I'll get the thinking cap on !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
