That was a discounted price. The price was 7s 6d which converted to 37½p on decimalisation. However the half pence was discontinued in 1984 and the price of the licence reduced to 37p. Why am I telling you all this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Well I have to say that I spent a very pleasant afternoon, yesterday, with my wife and dog, Lenny at Leicester Speedway. The staff on the gate and several stewards were very welcoming and Lenny made several new friends (he just loves people but he couldn't eat a whole one, ugh). Seriously, I know not everyone agrees with the concept of dogs at speedway, but Lenny was (as always) a model of good behaviour and was given many admiring looks from passing fans from both teams. Having all but finished my list of tracks that do and don't accept dogs (see 1st post on this thread), I'm heartened by the numbers that do. Thanks to all those who helped in the compilation of this information. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 Next time get him to look pleadingly at one of the stewards who usually has a selection of dog biscuits in his pocket. Always works for Lucy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Only a sport as backwards as Speedway would let dogs in, this excluding the people that need them for disabilities of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArthurRudge Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Just to add I have no problem with dogs myself but you wouldn't see this happen at any other professional sports events. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

False dawn Posted May 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Speedway always has been and remains a rare sport indeed. And I'm not referring to the racing spectacular that we all appreciate. I refer to the "family" nature of the sport. I'm sure there are other sports that have a similar look and feel on the terraces, or wherever you spectate. But we should cherish that friendly environment and me taking my boy with me is but an extension of that. Lenny will leave you alone and won't disturb your enjoyment, so why shouldn't I take him with me? He doesn't like being ignored because he's a very friendly chap. But feel free to take no notice of his presence. For my part, if the promotion permit me take him with me, i will continue to do so. Not to spite anyone, but because I enjoy his company. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to spite anyone, but because I enjoy his company. Me too. I feel lost without Lucy by my side. I have always taken a dog with me to Speedway meetings and they have never been a problem to anyone. We're not exactly at some posh all seated indoor arena but usually pretty basic grass banking or terracing so why not if they are allowed. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemini Posted May 30, 2022 Report Share Posted May 30, 2022 Sorry I don't know if the 'new' Oxford allow dogs. They always used to as I took Lucy with me but you are best to contact them direct and check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally that means no dogs, I'm sorry to say. It's kind of ironic, for me at least, since my dog is a greyhound. But even that hasn't gained him access to other stadiums that run both sports (Sheffield, for example). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
