25yearfan Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Track looks very narrow and squarish more like the 1970 - 75, Bradford Northern era than the 1985 - 97 version?

It's on the exact footprint of the track that stopped running late 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebv Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 It rarely used to produce 'great racing' when I went regularly in the 90's so not sure how it would deliver it now on much faster kit... Fast racing absolutely, every week you could watch one rider in most races leave the rest behind, with often the leader 50 yards ahead.. The World Finals and the GP's were excellent there but that was down more to the standard of riders in all races and the way the track was prepared. ie. With lots of shale and not "ran slick"... I remember attending a league match the week after one of the GP's and it looked like they had built the 'Hickstead Bank', that they use in showjumping, in the middle of the track.. This was all the shale that had been removed from the track post GP.. That nights 'racing' was back to its usual standard.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope I'm wrong but I don't think anyone would be brave enough to start speedway up. With the costs of setting up ie fence air fence and would it pass all the scb requirements and rent ect?
