John Leslie Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 In terms of facility's ie toilets seating access which is the best place you have visited and worst?In all my years of watching speedway I've never tried the toilet seating access at any track. Only ever used the stand up version. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well, you're obviously not a lady so the stand up version is okay for you. You want to try to get toilet seating access at Coventry with a dog in tow who doesn't want to co-operate so I can get access to the seat. Therefore I nominate Coventry.

I perhaps shouldn't have said that because now everyone knows the previously secret dogging place in Coventry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCB Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Which is the best track you have been to? I love Somerset. Not seen a bad meeting there. Peterborough too. Which is the worst track you have been to? BV. Naff track. Naff stadium. Naff announcer. Which has the best food you have tasted? Somerset has always had good food. Reasonable price too. Honourable mentioned to Eastbourne and Scunthorpe. Which has the worst food you have tasted? Newport was always abysmal. In terms of facility's ie toilets, seating, access which is the best place you have visited and worst? Swindon back straight bogs are legendarily bad. But peeing down the banking and behind the grandstand at the Marketta in Prague has to be the worst facilities technically. As a guy though, I couldn't care less. Honestly don't think any of them have stood out in any way as being good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
van wolfswinkel Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) The worst but infamous and much- loved back-straight bogs at Blunsdon will be gone by next year due to the new stadium development, visit 'em while you can! Best stadium and racing probably Brandon then Worky(both outside seating), was Wimbledon, White City, Hackney, West Am in the 60s/70s....worst without doubt Belle Vue, not keen on the glass-fronted greyhound stadiums generally. The view at Blunsdon is not good from the terraces with only about 50 seats behind glass. Edited April 24, 2014 by Les Cargot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halifaxtiger Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) On current circuits, best track (for racing): Scunthorpe, by a short head from Mildenhall, Plymouth & Peterborough. Worst (for racing): Buxton. I avoid speedway food if at all possible with one exception - and there I deliberately eat at the track: Berwick. Mr Anderson's burgers are quite superb and am I told that the pies are even better. The best stadium is Kent. One or two other positives: Tracks that have stepped up their game in the last few seasons: Berwick, Lakeside & Workington. Belle Vue's track has improved considerably, too. Best fans: Plymouth.

Daniel Smith Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Which is the best track you have been to? King's Lynn / Peterborough Which is the worst track you have been to? Lakeside Which has the best food you have tasted? Mildenhall (their fish n chips knocked spots off anything Rye House ever dished up) Which has the worst food you have tasted? Rye House ( Some reason their fans loved them. They need to get out more) In terms of facility's ie toilets, seating, access which is the best place you have visited and worst? Best was Sheffield but not sure now mind, not been for a while. Worst - Rye House Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMungo Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Which is the best track you have been to? Much depends on the preparation, but at its best there's not a lot between Peterborough, King's Lynn & Scunthorpe. Rye House the best out of the technical tracks. Which is the worst track you have been to? Oxford. Out of the current ones, Eastbourne takes some beating! Which has the best food you have tasted? Mildenhall. Which has the worst food you have tasted? Wolverhampton/Dudley. Had the worst burger EVER from there a few years back. I had to go to the toilet immediately to get it out from me. Was still hungry, so bought some crisps thinking little could go wrong there. They tasted pretty manky, too, and that's when I noticed they were 3 months out of date. In terms of facility's ie toilets, seating, access which is the best place you have visited and worst? Plymouth has exceptional viewing. Swindon is the opposite (unless you're lucky or a giant). I can't watch Speedway sitting down, it's unnatural. I don't care about toilets as long as they work. King's Lynn has definitely gone downhill in that area since they got rid of the 1st bend's toilets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conkers in Gravy Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 Best track. Lynn and Peterborough are both great tracks, Mildenhall was good in the 70s when I used to go there, but (and I admit to Midlands bias) a night at Cradley was hard to beat and Monmore has a well-prepared racestrip and entertaining action more often than not. Worst track Stoke isn't so hot these days, Coventry is better than it was in the old days, but still doesn't float my boat, Poole seem to have some issues with preparation, but Plymouth is the one I can't like. I don't mind small tracks at all, but there's a limit. The races just don't seem to get going. Maybe that's just me. Best food Fish and chips from the van at Mildenhall in the 70s, pork sandwiches at Cradley Heath. Worst food Pretty much all the others (never been to Berwick). Best facilities etc. Does Cardiff count? Otherwise Peterborough is a nice open stadium with plenty of choice for viewing. Worst facilities etc Kirky Lane always seems a bit of a soulless dump (roll on the new stadium), Stoke has always been terrible and never mind Swindon, the toilets at Plymouth were terrifying.
