That's where they stored the rubbish during the dustman's strike, It's not suitable for housing and is about 20 acres.

20 acres is, probably, big enough but it is the shape of the land to build the track first then the ancillary buildings around it.

There’s a song in there somewhere:Oh I got twenty acres and you got forty-three

Now I’ve got a brand new combine harvester and I’ll give you the key (Ohh ar ohh ar)

Is it the place, just south of the 'shop park', as you go down the Fossway, or to the east of it on the map?

As you are probably well aware that is not true.

Anyway, back on thread, let's hope the club find a suitable place and there are no issues and we can watch the team at our own venue and race when we like, rather than being as restricted as we are now.

Several years ago, when Somerset came to Perry Barr, the announcer spent all night playing Wurzels songs! I bet the Rebels fans were gritting their teeth by the end, but no-one complained, unlike Poole .
