Brilliant ....

Well yes geoff of course the track has gone for good................although perhaps the RL club are not entirely at fault in some respects? It is strongly believed that the Comets Speedway were lacking in funds and owed rental to their RL landlords ?????(who knows eh?)'....And of course there was the 'new stadium' fiasco. As regards watching the Town RL I have been a fan for 60 years, and always will be.........despite actually residing in 'jamland'.......Haven for me? never...........

Thanks John............can't wait until tapes up .. I'll do my bestest to have a butchers at the track , either before or after the next Worky Town RL home game.(June 2nd.)

11 days since last news.............so...... how's it garn marra??????

Yes I did think the ads interrupted the intros......and maybe they (TV producers) should have waited until fans/riders had paid respect for their sad loss?

I haven't read 100% of the comments on this Ipswich v Sheffield scenario......but a lack of crowd at the Foxhall stadium last night is mentioned..... It appeared on TV shots that not many were indeed present.....What sort of intrigued me was when the riders lined up before Heat One for their introductions - it looked like they were only being introduced to the Referee and Announcer.....there wasn't many more bodies around the starting gate area. Is that always the case at Ipswich ? I have been accustomed to being amongst low level crowds at Derwent Park and that caused the promotions to eventually shut down........let's hope it was only live TV syndrome last night?

Presumably car park is still large enough considering quite small stadium capacity of only 2,500....?

Yes I would include all of that 2018 team. And of course Carl Stonehewer. But the man who got me to attend home and away during the opening 1970 season was the original Mr. Excitement, Bob Valentine - not the best gater, but that wasn't ever a problem to Bob...

I haven't noticed the all important parking area on any pics... ....there won't be as many 'walk up fans' able to attend at this new facility...so hopefully plenty of parking space.

It looks good on the pics, and your detail seems fine THJ......must check it out visually, if can find it, on my next ASDA trip. I assume the banking seen on pics will be for the speccies - with the 1200 seats purchased to be divided between both straights.....anyway roll on the first action....

Yeah with it being sort of 'off the beaten track' (no puns intended) it's perhaps vulnerable to the odd unfriendly visit.......and like you though ..I sure hope not.!!!!!!

Yep right way round.....and they had a bit of a centre green tussle at Reading.......obviously good mates...

Wasn't that the other way round....i.e. Stoney chased him ?

Northside is in Workington.......

Seems like I can't escape being a jameater........reside in Whitehaven......and a (almost) lifelong Worky Town supporter, and Comets of course......so no jammy dodging for me on all counts.
