If the latter, speedway has been promoted at many different non motorsport events over the years. If the former, won’t the noise scare the horses (and all the other livestock)? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A group of us (including Steve Brock) have been doing shows, schools, festivals, etc, for over a decade with videos and three bikes from different eras, advertising Newcastle Speedway to everyone.

A actually seen yous at Crammy shops, outside Gregg's,,, top patch. The Police Motor Shows in Durham are just as big and we used to do them regular. Also the Tyneside musical festival in Heaton Park. And they weren't anywhere near the smallness of Welldfield shows either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
