Favourite Closed Tracks


Recommended Posts

All of them but most of all Crayford, Hackney, West Ham and Cradley for the pork sarnies like everyone else! And, alas, I fear the Isle of Wight are about to join the extensive list of speedway tracks sadly no longer with us! :cry:

Wimbledon, although I live in Swindon I used to arrange business trips to that area of London on race nights, especially when Swindon were there.

 

Reading and Oxford because of the brilliant local rivalry, especially the three team tournaments.

Cradley (for the Pork sarnies)

Bradford (for the banking)

Hyde Road (for the history)

Boston ( not far to travel)

Exeter (for the sheer terror of standing close to the fence on the bends!)

 

Enjoyed the racing at all of the above too.

 

Pugwash you have upset me Slough was on my Visit list for 2014

Not at all Peasepud my old mate BUT don't want to get too involved in this topic for, thinking about it and doing some brief research, I'm horrified to realise that I'll never see speedway again at: Birmingham (Ladbrokes stadium), Birmingham (Wheels), Bradford, Canterbury, Castleford, Coatbridge, Cradley Heath, Crayford, Crewe, Doncaster, Edinburgh (Powderhall), Ellesmere Port, Exeter (County Ground), Felton, Glasgow (Blantyre), Glasgow (Craighead Park), Glasgow (Shawfield), Glasgow (Hampden Park), Hackney, Halifax (The Shay), Hull (New Craven Park), Hull (The Boulevard)..... Jeez that's enough (and I can think of many more on 'my' list!) as, with the IOW's Smallbrook stadium about to join the list, it's getting me feeling well and truly miserable BUT, thinking positively, with luck and good fortune I WILL see speedway again at Sandy Lane!
