Same with music must start at a stipulated time, and bike warming as well. Yet there is 2 nightclubs opposite each other open to 4 in the morning. 

think you're onto something there Normski - the answer to all our problems is a new, purpose-built track in Golden Square, tapes-up 23.45 Saturday night :drink::cheers::party:

Yep. And a nice concrete block as a safety fence with a doorway with no kick board to make it easier for a rider to get his footrest in.

End of the day 45 years ago, can't remember anyone hitting the wooden football dugouts.

There were a few big crowds in 70’s,  think Ivan was there more than once,Hull in the inter- league with Barry Briggs,think Scott Autrey,Jimmy MAC we’re there for match races.Crowds averaged 1500-2000 in these days ,you could not get a seat in the Main Stand between starting gate and 1st bend without upsetting a local regular:D

They reckon there was 3000+ that day
