Bristol is a city with a vital speedway past, and like Norwich and Southampton, and I would say umpteen London tracks plus of course Cradley, our sport is impoverished by its and their absence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) The photos are great but you have placed the item in the wrong BSF section. I think in SPEEDWAY HISTORY under Years Gone By. Edited November 11, 2015 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gambo 1,341 Posted November 11, 2015 The photos are great but you have placed the item in the wrong BSF section. I think in SPEEDWAY HISTORY under Years Gone By. I disagree, if the link had been put where you suggest, I for one would not have seen them as the History section is a place I rarely visit. I'm sure it will receive a wider audience here. It could always be moved there later. ATB Dave 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

barncooseboy 237 Posted November 11, 2015 In about 2004 I actually had permission to take speedway into Ashton Gate stadium in Bristol, including permission from Bristol Council in writing BUT stadium modifications to make room weerre of the order of £1.5 million and I just didnt have it and couldnt raise it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 340 Posted November 11, 2015 Great pics Phil Crump, Tormod Langli, Steve Gresham, Phil Herne, great days. Sadly It's a totally different sport now days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm shocked to hear that....how did you propose to fit the track around the pitch without knocking down stands? Steve Lansdown wanted it? I'm surprised as Speedway was never in the plans for the new stadium proposal at Ashton Vale. Edited November 11, 2015 by Gresham Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't somebody also have the intention relatively recently to put in a new Bristol track on some derelict industrial land near to some rail tracks? Whatever happened to that?

Whatever happened to that? I'm open to correction....but I heard it was stopped due to rare migrating birds using that land. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
