erniew Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 That's where they stored the rubbish during the dustman's strike, It's not suitable for housing and is about 20 acres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronScorpion Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 20 acres is, probably, big enough but it is the shape of the land to build the track first then the ancillary buildings around it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you are probably well aware that is not true. Anyway, back on thread, let's hope the club find a suitable place and there are no issues and we can watch the team at our own venue and race when we like, rather than being as restricted as we are now. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet the Rebels fans were gritting their teeth by the end, but no-one complained, unlike Poole . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear_Bottom Posted September 1, 2020 Report Share Posted September 1, 2020 (edited) Now here's a little story To tell it is a must About a new track venue That’s built on council dust You won’t find any houses Or people to complain As big as 20 acres On Siemens old terrain Oh, my old man's a diamond He wears a diamond’s cap He wears cor-blimey kevlars And rides on council cr*p Turned out nice again!
