You say stadium but to me they looked like open containers being stored, lydd’s track in Kent also stores containers 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grachan 7,362 Posted September 8, 2022 Details of a new development. This, presumably, is the reason that the containers were moved, as it is in the old car park.

uk_martin 1,606 Posted September 28, 2022 Hasn't Team Russell/Rossco/Kilby been keeping the fans fully informed of developments?
