Guest Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 (edited)    What is this supposed to mean and does it have any relevance to speedway in London?   A bit of banter which you know nothing about.   That is why i was asking for an explanation.Doubt i am the only one confused.I'd bet gustix has no idea what your banter is about either  ​I presume you are referring to the carton diagrams you sent over in the initial Post? Otherwise I am just confused at your Posts - sorry Sidney the robin. The trouble is the images do not appear to transfer when one makes a quote of a Post that contains them!

iris123 Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 Have you not got anymore input on the subject?shame we can always learn a thing or to off of you. No.Honestly,you have posted these boxes a few times in comments and i have no idea what they are supposed to mean. Â my input,is that of course it is a sad state of affairs that we no longer have speedway in the capital.So many great tracks lost and so many fans lost to the sport.As i posted somewhere else,it was possible back in 1928 to get to 3 meetings on a Bank Holiday just in London.Think in all there might have been as many as 6 on the one day,but you would have missed some of them.Maybe could have seen a few heats at each meeting though.That was an amazing time and i would love to go back to one of those early days in a time machine.....

Of course, looking at the post-war situation, how many of the speedway tracks were actually controlled by the GRA? Obviously, the speedway decline has - certainly in some ways - mirrored the decline in dog racing... Â Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Steve Absolutely Steve.The total lack of alternative stadiums as one after another dog track was lost to development.Even the highly unlikely i know,chance of a football stadium was lost as the likes of Stamford Bridge were re-developed and the track was lost as the ends were squared up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 20, 2017 Report Share Posted February 20, 2017 My mum used to go FIVE nights a week - in London! Wimbledon (Monday), West Ham (Tuesday), New Cross (Wednesday), Wembley (Thursday), and Harringay (Friday).  Sigh...  Steve  ..and it was a fairly convenient journey from London to Rayleigh on a Saturday with regular action on Sundays at Rye House.
