A few comments... Is Wembley still Wembley? I haven't been to the new Wembley so I'm not sure. If it had kept the Twin Towers maybe but to level the place and start again I don't know. Other stadiums have been re-developed and kept their iconic structures. Cardiff couldn't attract 20,000 last year, 20,000 in a 74,000 stadium looked bad, 20,000 in a 90,000? Not a great look. Peter Oakes was the person that got the "story" onto the Daily Star website a nice bit of publicity for the sport but nothing more than that. If Speedway were to return to London and that's a big if personally I'd prefer to create a new history at the London Stadium which has a smaller capacity, better transport links and infrastructure set around it. The new London Stadium is only a stones throw from the original London Stadium which Waterden Rd the home of Hackney was renamed/redeveloped. I think the original Waterden Rd site is where the BT studios etc were sited for the Olympics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
