Alex2000 266 Posted February 21, 2017 I thought Steve Crow filled the time last year quite nicely between heats 14 and 15 when he got someone from the crowd out on to the centregreen to make the announcement.Yes he did also good when he got a couple of Kent fans out there too 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Halifaxtiger 5,318 Posted February 21, 2017 I thought Steve Crow filled the time last year quite nicely between heats 14 and 15 when he got someone from the crowd out on to the centregreen to make the announcement. I thought he was impressive full stop. Lot better than some of the tedious or star of the show presenters out there. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted March 1, 2017 going to France aren't they sometime Yes...later this month. No real rush to practise as season doesn't start until Good Friday; unlike our EL days when we were off like a shot to get Saturday meetings staged before GPs began. If it had been EL we would have had a meeting, I think, a fortnight on Saturday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted March 2, 2017 I suppose so I'm just getting bored at home. What is the saying? Something like: all good things come to those that wait! Anyway, counting the days now we are into March Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

00000 1,279 Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) They said at the forum, Press and official practice was on last Saturday of this month. Not got my diary with me so can't put actual date in. No time as yet - but will be daytime no doubt. Edited March 6, 2017 by Richard Weston Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woofers 467 Posted March 6, 2017 Is it right that speedway has only a couple of years at Arlington? Have heard on two separate occasions and sources that the land has been sold for a hotel development. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have heard on two separate occasions and sources that the land has been sold for a hotel development. New one on me. People have talked about housing in the past but it has never got beyond talk.

Have heard on two separate occasions and sources that the land has been sold for a hotel development. why put a hotel there it's in the middle of nowhere and is pretty bleak. Anyway I thought building on the land had been ruled out as its in the Green zone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gazzac 1,015 Posted March 6, 2017 Think it less likely to get planning for a hotel than housing with current policies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted March 6, 2017 Be sad if it does only have a couple left It's just a shame that the stadium isn't more central then I believe you would get the crowds like Poole Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnTwo 317 Posted March 12, 2017 I read in the speedway star that Clegg left nl to hopefully be a pl number 1 by the end of this season - good luck to him. A rider that sticks in my mind after he refused to race heat 1 at Eastbourne then reeled of 4 wins I believe. - I saw his results at Glasgow today...maybe a slow start to his pl number 1 status?
