Some of it ended up at Rye House.

Can't have done as rye house never had much shale on it, just a blue line :rolleyes:

The fence was all yellow and red in 1990. I was hoping it was 1990 so I could say I was there but it seems not...

I was very touched by the billboard on the fence celebrating the romantic attraction of the intelligent Gundersen fan with a local supporter. ;)

The temporary lay and lift track from 2000, not the permanent brown concrete which followed!

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 ?

Odsal would be the only speedway stadium in England that is big enough to host a SGP, while unfortunately the Belle Vue National Stadium in Manchester isn't.

The Olympic Stadium or Wembley?
