Little Thumper Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Simple EP Well done Argos! I shall let Reverend Flowers have your contact details so he can hook up with you. By the way, I'm loving the new catalogue. So the answer was Thornton Road, Ellesmere Port, once the home of the mighty Gunners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OveFundinFan Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Thats about 5 miles from where I live. Didnt realise it was so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Thumper Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 And in the unlikely event, that anyone is slightly interested, here is a picture that I took some 15 months earlier when some bloke was spending a small fortune doing the place up for doggy racing. When that bright idea hit the buffers, the local diy brigade moved in, had it away with the fixtures and fittings and trashed everything else. I shall pop over in the next few weeks and see if the demolition has taken place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary O'Hare posted a video on his FB a couple of weeks ago & it looks like it's been totally razed now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Thumper Posted December 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 It's been demolished. Well, that is very sad indeed. I wonder when they will start building the breeze block excuses for houses on the site? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityrebel Posted December 4, 2016 Report Share Posted December 4, 2016 Such a shame. Ellesmere was a beast of a track, big and fast and not for the faint hearted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike.Butler Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I'm glad I drove and had a look round from the outside a couple of years ago whilst working on Merseyside to see it whilst it was still standing; although I never saw a meet there unfortunately.

Shadders Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 They closed pretty soon after I began to watch speedway in 1985. I think they won the NL that year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
