Sorry if its a daft question He said he closed the track to protect it so hopefully someone would come in and buy it and keep it going... I would suggest selling off everything needed to run a Speedway meeting might not make it much of a tempting proposition... 6 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1stbendwinkoboy 11 Posted June 30, 2022 If the Diamonds are to continue then a new venue seems inevitable. Check out sunderland-greyhounds.co.uk as a possibility. The facilitates seem first rate. Speedway was raced there twice. Difficult to tell if the track is still in place but, if not, could be reinstated. The team could be called the North East Diamonds and could pull in we die-hards, new fans from the area and its closer to Redcar than Newcastle. Worth checking surely!
