Writing or not !! Speedway has gone for the foreseeable at Newcastle 

Think I had guessed that by now and think it has been dead for the last 4 seasons.

What did he do to destroy the track, dig it up with a JCB?

All the track fittings like the air fence, panels, start gate and electrics, machinery, all the pits have been removed by selling them off. The shale was being advertised for sale, but I don't know if it was sold off by the deadline that the owners gave Grant.

Nee money to be made in speedway, well at least not enough for them to second glance at.

Rueben brothers are in it for themselves.They took ARC venues out of some of the betting shops in 2017 and had no live pictures if they did not agree with payment.

A see they've taken Sedgefields 'biggest racing day' Boxing Day fixture and moved it to Newcastle, wonder what that is about?

There was two horses killed the meeting I attended before the last one and cancelled the meeting.They did give  me free complimentary tickets to the last one but I have no idea why it has been transferred to Newcastle.

It's to give the track extra time to recover:

Yeah, it does seem bizarre,,, as you say racing tomorrow and am sure it has been raced on after that incident?

Shame tho, cos I do enjoy Sedgefield on Boxing Day,,, suppose I can walk to Gossy Park and our driver can have a pint or two. ;)
