Liontamer 202 Posted April 24, 2003 So where do supporters of clubs like Cradley, Birmingham, Halifax,Hackney, leicester Bradford, etc, etc. now get there fix? As an ex Leicester & Long Eaton supporter the answers simple, I don't. I'll probably see only two or three meetings this year. :x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted April 24, 2003 As an ex Leicester and Long Eaton (sometimes) supporter the answer's simple - I do. Couldn't be like Liontamer I'm afraid as I have to have my weekly fix, even if it did mean transferring to bitter rivals Coventry in 1984. :-( I know loads of Leicester fans wouldn't go to Coventry on principle when Leicester were shut down (by the Coventry management) but it was either that or just occasional visits elsewhere.

IAN2 64 Posted April 24, 2003 As a Canterbury fan I have to go out of Kent to see any League racing at all, make do with being on the track staff at Arena Essex as that is the only place to see the racing from the inside,but I'm no Arena fan and go just to keep my interest up. My real ambition is to see Sittingbourne ( Iwade ) overcome all its problems with the local Council,residents and Terry Russell to establish itself once and forall as a Conference League track with a future.
