Will there be room? assume if it's a dome then the surface is not permanent so, as with Cardiff and Tottenham, the floor level can be configured for other sports and concerts. Although the strangely low capacity suggests it may be pretty basic - the previous Bradford Superdome in the 80s was going to be 75,000 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neila 1,162 Posted September 25, 2022 Surly it would cost a fraction of Cardiff costs to put speedway in here, a full Bradford is better than 22000 in Cardiff?? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eric i 617 Posted September 25, 2022 The track is too narrow to meet FIM standards. The only way they could widen the track is if the rugby club left, which is not out the question because I don't think they are happy with how narrow the rugby pitch is.

I took a look at the problem bends, they are very narrow at the old pits end, 1st and 2nd are as they used to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
