Derrickn Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 2 hours ago, Chris116 said: The video was taken from the area where most of the crowd would be behind the person taking the video. The crowd that can be seen is probably around 20% of those present but I agree small crowds are a worry. There are several videos of the meeting,taken from different points.There is practically no one on the big banking,and those in the stand are all to the back few rows.Sadly,Odsal is far too big for the crowds that attend,and that includes the rugby.It must be almost impossible to maintain an old venue of that size,and you have to fear for its future.

Some formulas do pay to enter but the BriSCA Formula One drivers are paid start money and prize money although at best the most successful driver in a meeting will be lucky to break even. The video shown above is of the BriSCA Formula One's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Stadia Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 On the 12th November, 2023, Bradford has an event listed as 'Grasstrack Demonstration'. Would this be Grasstrack as we understand it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris116 Posted February 21, 2023 Report Share Posted February 21, 2023 (edited) I think the 'grasstrack demonstration' almost certain to be NASA style car racing.

It was claimed that they were going to run on concrete, but the Stock car people have stated they will be running on shale! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have been better if NT had run Championship Speedway at Bradford than Premiership at Perry Barr. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the lease that is up for sale,currently leased to the rugby league.The stadium is owned by Bradford council,who are practically bankrupt,and have no money at all to spend on Odsal.
