At present I have only picked up bits from this forum and since most of those are just opinions, they haven't told me much. Just sounds complicated. Being a neutral, i don't care about the rules. I just want to see some decent racing on a well prepared track. I want a well run meeting that represents good value for money. Is that too much to ask, or are my expectations too high!

Must admit I have settled in to being a Kent regular instead but news of a Hammers revival at Thurrock fills me with hope. While having a comfortable seat at Central Park, which I never had at Arena, is attractive to an oldie like me, if the Hammers do get back, it might be bye bye to Kent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been off this forum for some time now but have just checked back in - I walked past Plough Lane today and I had a tear in my eye, no it wasn't the wind but the unbelievable amount of construction that has gone on. The football stadium has been completed but obviously, with the pandemic, they are not allowed to play there yet. Being a local and going down the dons all my life I really miss the place and having seen pictures of the football ground, I cannot understand why speedway is completely out of the frame. The other thing that bothers me is they haven't done anything for the infrastructure in regards to transport etc but hey, what do I know. Now sorry about my rant and back on subject Kent Kings is now the closest track to me and I will go when I can but that early start time just kills me getting there most of the time. Good luck to everyone racing this year and I hope we do get to see some racing Edited February 12, 2021 by DragonsDen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone racing this year and I hope we do get to see some racing Welcome to the forum ! I know how you feel. My origins are with the old Custom House Stadium where West Ham were my team. That is now a housing estate. Then I followed the Hammers to Arena Essex...a poor home for such a great team in reality...only for that to close on me. Kent may not be my birthright, as it were, but at least I get to see decent racing in comfort every week. Lots of fans don't have that at present.
