tigerowl Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 Having said that I felt depressed about reading this thread, I went to Leicester last night and really enjoyed it. It isn't what it was in the 1970s and 1980s but it can still be a nice night out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think that a speedway meeting promoted in the right way with good track preparation and priced accordingly is still a good night out. Trouble is that personally when I re-located I wasn't prepared to drive a goodly distance and paying £15 or so for fifteen heats of racing. Back during the seventies and eighties a meeting often had twenty heats including a second half which I used to enjoy!

Ovalman Posted June 20, 2021 Report Share Posted June 20, 2021 12000 officially at The Abbey for GB v Sweden in 1968. The queue for people climbing in, my queue, was longer than the turnstile one, so far more packed in. In 2019 when Swindon won the league and cup double there was 3500 there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
