Individual suits and race jackets for me. Look what happened when we had them in the past, they weren't the same colour orange and it seemed everyone got them made from different places! Plus when you have guests they tend to the wear a horrible ill-fitting shirt which looks nothing like the suit.

Will the parking next to the stadium be severley restricted with the new improvements.... :blink:

 

I had a look round the perimiter of the stadium the other day, and a new and faiirly large car park has been built between the third and fourth bends near to where the freeloaders stand. It was just hardcore when I looked but I imagine it is going to be tarmaced.

 

I was also pleased to see that at present, half of the area where the riders vans park has been tarmaced and it looks good ! Again I am assuming that the remainder of this parking area will also be tarmaced before the start of the season, but at present it would be pointless, as heavy machinery seems to be being used inside the stadium, which of course would damage any newly laid surface.

 

New UPVC windows and security roller shutters have been installed in the walls of the "Gus RIsman Bar" (vip lounge). Of course fencing has been installed all around the stadium, with security gates to access the riders vans parking area.

 

Painters were busy painting various doors when I visited, plus it seems that the turnstiles are getting a revamp, including some turnstiles that have never been in use for years !

 

I have been told that the old wooden seats in the grandstand have been removed and new ones are to be installed too.

 

And also I believe that the Derwent Lounge is having a total refurb too.

 

Just my assumption and I may be totally wrong, but it wouldnt surprise me if eventually the long term plan is to close vehicular access to the stadium across the small bridge, (as this was causing problems some time ago), and the access by road will only be permitted via the rear of Tescos ??

 

All in all, quite some refurbishment, and one that I am delighted to see !

Well done to your new promotion securing Scotty for your opening night.

 

Forward thinking and real promotion for the event. A refreshing change.

Pleased that Richard has got a Elite league place but very disappointed that its a Friday night track he has signed for. Just the fact that he will be doing all the traveling and riding the night before we race most weeks.
