I know Bradford isn't the greatest place to spend a weekend but it's close enough to Leeds to make it attractive to visit. Run all of the shared events (pairs, 4's, riders championship even a knockout cup) over a weekend and pack the place out. Nicely located for fans from the North and South. Great memories of the 1990(?) World Final. Great atmosphere. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as though they have laid a tarmac track, so if speedway was to happen, surely it would have to be a temporary track, 'Cardiff style'?

It was always a tarmac track, when the Speedway closed the shale was taken elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The latest tweet of pics from the stadium says that shale will be arriving soon, so they clearly plan to make it a shale track. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently shale is the preferred surface for the foreign stars of stock cars which the promoters want to attract to Odsal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sings4Speedway Posted January 25, 2021 Report Share Posted January 25, 2021 An air/foam fence might pinch the track in a little but all shapes are there to be ridden. Love the idea of a weekend event, run different grades perhaps building from NL or even youth lunchtime, NL afternoon and higher grade comp in the evening the follow it with pairs on the Sunday but start lunch and finish early evening allowing people to travel home at will.
