Listen it's probably down to preference I've never enjoyed lakeside, Ipswich, Wolverhampton either. I just don't find that kind of racing as entertaining as Somerset, Redcar, Scunthorpe, Glasgow, BV. I know for a fact they were looking away from armadale as a friend of my dad's offered Campbell land to build their own track a few years ago but think start up was too expensive. I would never say should be banned as need all tracks we can get, it just comes down to preference for me, I don't find it entertaining Agree to a certain extent Jaiser. Mauger always said if you turned left it was a speedway track. Many tracks limited to what they can do because of dog tracks. Scott Nicholls a joy to watch at the Dale. Cookie in his pomp too.

Peter Carr late 90s take some beating in terms of what could do on the track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But there’s a question about the product. My experience of the product last night made me think £18.50 was bad value for money, so I’m not planning to go back. But then again, home support is more important for speedway teams, so I guess as long as the home fans are happy with the product, that’s what matters most. The track did seem well suited to the Wildcats meeting afterwards though, which was an interesting watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Endeavour 681 Posted October 16, 2021 See Glasgow home leg first now. Can’t see us repeating heroics of last night. Think tonight would have been our best chance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never trust BBC weather since stopped using met office. Hope it changes but with rain been around of late tracks won't take much to be soaked through I return to the madness of trying to hold play offs and cup finals in October Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Again looking at BBC weather there's rain forecast every day in both Armadale & Glasgow from Sat 23rd to Friday 29th, so who knows when the two finals due to be raced in Scotland will take place. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
