I think you would need one one of the 'specialists' modelling the spread of the virus, to work that out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full credit to Steve Rees & Startrax for bringing Odsal back to life. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halifordukesfan Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 Brilliant photo of bends 3 & 4 on Startrax facebook page, not sure how to upload it, bend 3 foreground shows ideal place for trackside pits area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People always knock Odsal's level of speedway fans but it's a vast stadium, you could put the fans of any British club in the stand & it wouldn't be full, no other speedway stadium has a capacity of nearly 23,000. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much change out of 30k for an air fence for track that size I'd have thought, hopefully floodlights could be configured to track with a few extra lights.. Starting gates aplenty probably lying round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch958 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 i know it might sound daft but are these fences dismountable to loan to other tracks? Eg what happens to the Cardiff fence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eg what happens to the Cardiff fence? All air fences are removable, that’s how they get replaced after a puncture during a meeting. The Cardiff air fence belongs to the circus that is the GP and it’s owners. It would cost a few Bob to transport around 45 + panels to Bradford from any other track and I doubt any one track has enough panels to fit out Odsals track although Belle Vue might come close plus the compulsory spares. To give you a comparison , your track , Redcar, uses 31 panels so quite a lot needed for a track three times the size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were getting less than a thousand towards the end and that's from a time when crowds were slightly bigger than now, on average at least.
