Just saying that some of the extreme personal insults and character assassinations you often see on here will not make anyone better-disposed to speedway. Its difficult to cut the people involved with this project much slack when all we have heard from them for the last 3 years is, failed promises, unmet deadlines, deafening silence, misleading stories and downright lies.

Cretins. from what I can see don't think anyone will be going - just how are they going to do the track changes in time ? and from what I saw last the track certainly needed a lot of work doing to it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So instead of heading home the dogs were left in the car to sleep off several hours of walking around the Uffington White Horse area and we were able to watch the match. What was annoying is we paid to come in with no problem and the 2 ladies on the gate made a fuss of the dogs so they knew we had them with us, but then at the next check point charlie we met the head jobsworth steward who refused to let us go any further. Never been back since. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
