Fromafar 10,333 Posted September 21, 2018 Very difficult to defend a lead on this track as the opposition can take that many different lines,Superb racing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One reason for this is the majority of fans, riders, and promoters take the 2300 back over which is a opportunity to chat about the night and speedway in general. If you are by train and the last one is 9.30 this maybe a challenge for you. When you would like to travel let me know and I can put on to our FB page as we have some who come over from the area by car and there may be a space. Many thanks and thank you for the nice feedback about the DVD footage. In my view Andy Hague and Speedwayportal really are doing a super job in this field.

bruno 1,790 Posted September 27, 2018 What a cracking reply ,again . I'm sure Sid can't wait to get over for a meeting now. I honestly don't think there's even one other promoter who would have replied like that. Thumbs up again Barry. Not sure when I'l get over again but I'l certainly find you out just to shake your hand 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How embarrassing to have a Stoke fan criticise another track... pot kettle etc I would go to IOW whereas Stoke is banned from any visit from me until the present promoters sell up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're a bit late with that, at least one other person said the same. You obviously missed the response. I look at tracks, and the sport, objectively. Do you? You won't find me defending Stoke as a track but there are a plenty of others not much better. The IoW could be so much better, they have the space for a proper sized track. Time will tell as to whether the present promoters realise the true potential of their facility. As my response to them on here went unanswered, I suspect any track "improvements" they will make will turn out to be sub-optimal in terms of what could actually be achieved.
