Also there was a lot less to do, in terms of leisure activities, back in the day, so you were having your parsnips buttered a lot less often. These days we live in a world of sensory overload and Speedway just can't quite cut it in its current guise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruiser Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 I think people are right when it comes down to crowds and atmosphere... Racing wise matches up well in a lot of meetings but it was the atmosphere back in the day that really helped.. Turned a dull meeting into a pretty exciting one..... My favourite race was Rob Maxfield being team rode to a 5-1 by Peter Collins over Ole Olsen who was by far the best visitor around Belle Vue at the time.. there was no passing and probably if you saw it on tape it would look ordinary but at the time the roof nearly came off the stadium and the atmosphere was incredible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lefty Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 In return Ole could team ride Bill Powell for a 5-1 for Wolves in the 70''s. A great crowd reaction was guaranteed. Promoting was 's lot easier then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wherever it is, mid June would be better than mid September weather wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
