bruno 1,790 Posted August 28, 2021 Like most I've travelled to many tracks only to be called off but I've visited them on other occasions. The only track I never got to re visit is White City which got called off against the heathens in the 77 season I think Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,017 Posted August 28, 2021 Never saw a race at Ullevi, but... I was in Gothenburg for darts, so I decided to have a wander. The place was wide open with nobody around, so I managed to walk the entire track! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,053 Posted August 28, 2021 (edited) The only track I've visited but not seen speedway at was Esbjerg in Denmark. Back in 1971, I went on the Wimbledon Supporters' Coach (don't ask!) to see the World Final, held in Gothenburg that year. We took the boat from Harwich to Esbjerg and as the coach left Esbjerg, we stopped off to have a look at Esbjerg Stadium. While there, I picked up a programme that I just found lying on the ground. When we got back to the coach, I passed it round for people to see - I never got it back! It is the only speedway programme I once had that I no longer have.

Lefty 1,255 Posted August 28, 2021 Welland, Canada 1996. Did the Paris meeting the night before. Made the short journey to Welland. It was bright sunshine one hour before the start. We went into the bar and wow, did it rain!!! Looked out and the track vanished under water! Haven't made it back there... yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,017 Posted August 28, 2021 Can I also include Yarmouth and Hastings? Speedway had long since ceased, but I have been there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve roberts 9,241 Posted August 29, 2021 Travelled to Somerset who were due to race Poole but the meeting was called off due to rain...looked a nice stadium but never got the opportunity to go back again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
waiheke1 4,295 Posted August 29, 2021 (edited) Dudley Wood. Only visit there was 83 (i'm pretty sure) and the Aces meeting was rained off. Edit: not sure if it counts, but I've been to Cardiff to see the ABs play, but never to a speedway GP Edited August 29, 2021 by waiheke1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was a great racetrack, saw Swindon there twice, once won there with last heat 5-1, then were thrashed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
