Bavarian 763 Posted February 7, 2021 There are some great pictures of the new Odsal Stadium speedway track in this week's Speedway Star. Even if no league team is based there initially, could this magnifivent venue be used for Special Meetings, such as an English SGP perhaps, when Discovery takes over the running of the SGP series from IMG/BSI in 2022 ?
