New Speedway Plans For Craven Park, Hull?

[25yearfan]

Just been on the excellent www.speedwayplus.co.uk site and a guy on their claims that persons are trying to get speedway back at Craven Park Hull, the home of Hull speedway from 1995-2005!

 

I thought that the Rugby club there had revamped the infield erasing all memories/physical evidence of the speedway track and new stand(s) were (are?) being built over where the speedway bends were which would square off the stadium and eliminate the possibility of speedway returning??

 

I think if ran properly speedway in Hull could be viable even with nearby Scunthorpe now fully established back in speedway, indeed the two clubs could enjoy a great rivalry at Premier League level!

 

Be interesting to know if theres any truth in what the guy said!!?

I saw some of them at Newcastle on Sunday - I actually remarked at the presence of 'Vikings' Supporters. Good to see. :approve:

Speedway can't return to Craven Park. The New Stand built covers part of the track, also the pitch is wider too.

 

Hull KR are in financial trouble and it's predicted that they may move to the KC in the long term. Craven Park is doomed in the long term! What a waste!
