Foxhall Stadium


Recommended Posts

This has been on the cards for quite a while now!

 

The previous owners Ipswich speedway Ltd who were nothing to do with the current speedway promotion or any other previous speedway promotion are the virtually same lot (passed down through family) who owned the stadium when it was built in the early 50's.

 

Spedeworth are obviously pro motorsports, has spent money on the facilities, need speedway at the stadium to make it viable and the stadium now seems out of the hands of younger members of families who might be swayed by a life changing huge payday!

 

Happy days!

 

I know you can never be complacent, but the stadium is in the middle of heath and woodland, so it is unlikely that it would be considered viable for building houses........one hopes!

People in Ipswich used to say the same thing about the old Ipswich airport - now buried under large swathes of housing estates!

 

Foxhall stadium has been long rumoured to be in the sights of housing developers and I believe it nearly happened in the late 80's!

 

The stadiums an East Anglian institution that provided thousands of people with great times so should be protected!

Foxhall Heath Raceway in Ipswich now boasts a new grandstand on the back straight which houses over 1,500 people.

 

This stand is temporary but shows the clear direction Spedeworth is heading in terms of improvements being made at the stadium. Talks will be held with the local authority about this stand and other projects planned at the venue in the future.

 

We can also confirm that new toilets are being built which will significantly improve the facilities at the stadium, to include baby changing facilities.

 

We are also delighted to announce that three more hospitality boxes are to be added to the existing ones, which have proved very popular.

 

Spedeworth hope that these steps to improve the spectator experience are the first of many that will take the stadium to the next level and ensure that it remains the UK's premium short oval raceway.

If you ask they may do requests!!
