one of clubs Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 I am planning to attend the Leicester meeting on the 27th of this month and i would like some info. From what i can gather about the location of the stadium am i correct in assuming it is within sight of Tamar Bridge and close to the nearby tunnel and what i see as the strange roundabout thingy?. Which section bar the grandstand offers the best view, and what is the likelyhood of being able to pay on the night via cash or card, as the website says different. Any other tips and advice will also be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The track is at Marsh Mills exitoff a38 not in view of the tamar Bridge its a couple of miles before the Bridge, you can park in the stadium for £2 which is very convenient, there is food available pies,pastys,chips, burgers,curry and a very popular polish bbq,with polish sausages, burgers etc which is very popular. A seated stand on the home straight known as the NHS stand provides great views as does the 3 and 4th bend and back straight which is standing but you can bring your own chairs . We have a disabled viewing area also on the 2nd bend. As for purchasing tickets its online only atm and I suspect this will remain for the season but not sure,I would advise early purchasing of tickets as meetings are generally sold out no tickets can be purchased on the day of meeting online as it usually closes day before, and atm no cash payments will be taken on the gate this situation is very fluid and as such could change at anytime. We also have a licenced bar if you want a beer or 2. Hope this is of some help and you enjoy your visit and some Devonshire hospitality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendonebunching Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 It is no where near the tamar bridge , it is just off the marsh mills junction as you enter the city from the a38 and parking is in the park and ride. Viewing is excellent from all areas . So far there has been no news about paying on the gate and tickets are available on line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one of clubs Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Thanks for the info B1 and Lewy. When you say it is a couple of miles B4 the bridge, does that mean when coming from Looe will i cross the bridge?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bendonebunching Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 If you are coming from Cornwall you will cross the bridge and then leave the a38 just before you leave the city heading towards Exeter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the hobbit Posted July 18, 2021 Report Share Posted July 18, 2021 Coming from the midlands, you do not cross the bridge the track is literally adjacent to the main road. you gi down the A38 until you come to a roundabout where there is a premier inn. If you were to turn left it takes you to Plymouth town centre via the A374 You turn tight at the roundabout onto the B3416.Turn left near the McDonald’s onto coypool road following the signs for the park snd ride You can park there for free snd it’s s two minute walk to the stadium or, when 200 yards from the park snd ride, follow the road around to the right and under the bridge. Track 400 yards down this road. I’d park in the stadium. It’s only £2 snd you just walk into the seating area excellent viewing from either main stand, back straight or bends 3/4 Worth paying the extra to sit in the main stand. Enjoy your trip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teromaafan Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 In the absence of a thread for Plymouth v Leicester match, which has now finished, it seems reasonable to post comments here. Not being present tonight, I wondered how good the racing was from an entertainment perspective? Going back to watching Leicester at the old Blackbird Road track, the novelty of good racing and narrow home defeats wore thin pretty quickly. Smug as it may sound, the management's decision to go for a very top heavy team appears to have predictively backfired already. Plymouth's entreprenural approach has to be applauded but it would appear that a major team review is required, particularly as Crump is not recovering from knocks so easily these days. Altough they appear not to be weakened by the choice of guests that have covered for him, the situation is clearly not sustainable. Putting my Lions hat back on, a great response after being overturned by those pesky Pirates at the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big blow for Gladiators at the start of the season with Henry Atkins getting injured, should have been good for at least 3 or 4 at home which would have turned narrow defeats into narrow wins. Still would have struggled away. Ruddick and Smith are just not scoring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting my Lions hat back on, a great response after being overturned by those pesky Pirates at the weekend. I do t think This team was ever put out to win the league as silly as it sounds. It was put out to get fans in the stadium, and it has done that. The job this year was to get the club sustainable through this year and in to next year. reminder we started a lot later than most sides, nearly a whole year behind those that kept the riders from the season that never ran. personally I think we are close. 12 points on a heat leader was always going to be a tough ask and had he rode he’d have probs got a 9/10 average freeing up 2 points to put towards a stronger reserve from 3 points to 5 pushing Dillon or Zach there. The club as a whole has improved everything massively from the stadium to the track to the food selection in the cafe. from when mark took over to this moment in time it’s complete opposites. And he deserves every success and well done that go his way 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
