Cue Ball Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 I don’t think we have any choice but to replace, there is only a 28 day facility in place and Tai isn’t going to be fit for some time unfortunately 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoundTheBoards Posted Tuesday at 12:08 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:08 PM Anyone heard anything about Owlerton Stadium? Apparently Stock Cars have been kicked out with immediate effect due to lack of space, with the stock car pits being taken over by solar panels and their associated storage batteries. Rumours also that Greyhounds are on borrowed time? Where does this leave speedway? Anyone close to the club know anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cue Ball Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:55 PM I vaguely seem to remember that there is something in the deeds or something that says there has to be a speedway track at the stadium - with it having been built for the purpose. Just remember something about when we closed in the 90’s that they couldn’t do anything to get rid of the track. Could well be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
