hackneyrocket Posted February 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 we use to have the dogs but didn't the promoters of that fall out with Hazel and Len and it all went ** up?....maybe a return of the dogs?....track doesn't seem big enough for cars. I think the dogs are like speedway, in decline. The new owners are Motorsport people, so who knows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the early days, before Len Silver purchased the stadium, they had to lay and take up the shale before and after every speedway meeting Edited February 18, 2015 by Shads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lift and lay track of 2000 was a bit on the narrow side! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben91 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I think I'm right in saying the floodlights are being moved onto the greyhound track in some areas to light the track better due to the air fence. If so that rules dogs out. Other than bangers I can't think of much else that could be done with the stadium without major work being carried out.

Guest Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 If it is stocks then I give the speedway two years at most I doubt very much if stock cars are considered for a return at least under the Spedeworth banner. Their drivers used to complain about problems getting good access when towing race cars to the stadium - and I don't think the previous parting between Spedeworth and Len Silver was amicable (was it?).

Oafski Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Noticed that the News Item on the Rye House Website regarding the Stadium improvements has been taken down. Hope that doesn't mean they have run into problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 Noticed that the News Item on the Rye House Website regarding the Stadium improvements has been taken down. Hope that doesn't mean they have run into problems. I think all the AP Media websites have lost a few news stories - probably all been restored from a slightly out dated back up.

Shadders Posted March 3, 2015 Report Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I don't know why people are getting worried about the stadium developments . There will be plenty of places to watch the action from until the works are completed. It's not as if they'll be putting the "stadium full" signs up Edited March 3, 2015 by Shads 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
