    Plymouth Track

    I went last year to Plymouth for the first time, after getting over the shock of the size, I really enjoyed the night. We saw Redcar perform, lots of passing, really friendly and welcoming locals and an obvious attempt to move the club forwards.

    Stoke Potters 2017

    Being one of the people who don't go anymore... I went almost weekly from 1978 - exit from the premier league. The alternative view is that the sport was not promoted, fans disenfranchised and often personally insulted, with no viable attempt made to deliver on or talk through issues. I'm aware that there were alternative offers to promote but they were all rejected. From my perspective the current promotion are slowly killing the club rather than heroically saving it.

    Stoke Potters 2017

    The website says Dave Tatum and Nigel Crabtree....Still got the original idea of extendable corners for longtrack. Purpose built for speedway for the 1973 season. The original track became Vojens when Ole Olsen borrowed the plans. Current shape was built in 1979 by Pete Jarman and regularly tinkered with since.

    Stoke Potters 2017

    Six weeks since the last Potters post. Any updates from those brave souls who still venture to Loomer Road? Interestingly the spell check wanted to call the above venue Loser Road.... Still a waste of a potentially great venue.....

    Stoke Potters 2017

    Not sure the "promotion" will have realise yet, the defeats and stadium troubles will all be the fault of the "internet wallers"....

    Ben Barker

    I have a son with Autism and Ben was brilliant with him, chatting, listening and making him feel special. (Not just a one off). The guys not perfect but I'll always be grateful for the times when he showed he cared. We'll go out of our way to watch as he is an entertainer.

    Buxton V Stoke 30th April

    Thanks Jayne for open and clear comments. It really is refreshing to see engaging and listening promoters. I'm sure the situation will get better shortly.

    Lots of clubs seem to be having a quiet May, got to be better than a wet October with a rush of fixtures....
