SJA 40 Posted August 16, 2023 I fancy some sunshine speedway after thawing out from Monday. But what do people think my chances are to make the 21:44 train back to town as I would rather not drive at night? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What time does the car park open and how much change do I need. Is it easier to park away from stadium and walk in Be nice to pay respect to Darcy, il see how I feel after I would park down one of the residential side roads and walk in. Still haven't seen anything on SM that Darcy is going to be there though. Taking Arthur's word for it atm! 6 minutes ago, SJA said: I fancy some sunshine speedway after thawing out from Monday.

Meetings typical finish 9.20-9.30 I find and station not far away, so should be okay. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With r/r in operation there could be more time between heats so could take a bit longer than usual. In this Piratecast-sponsored meeting I shall be vacating my usual grandstand seat and joining the guests for some hospitality in the glass restaurant/stand. Not a favourite viewing position but I guess once a season is ok - still get to see the pits early and see some heats from centregreen. COYP. I still think this will be a tight meeting, having watched the 'depleted' Bears at Plymouth last night, they were gating very well, although Glads were probably a little 'ring rusty'!

Biffa 84 Posted August 16, 2023 Heard the other night at Redcar that no one apart from officials are now allowed in the centre green, no supporters, sponsors etc. All since the Edinburgh crash. Don’t know if it’s right but Redcar didn’t last Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t know if it’s right but Redcar didn’t last Friday. Loads of centregreen activity at Plymouth last night. Sponsors and guests were allowed centregreen last week at Poole. We shall see...........! Danny Ford has not mentioned anything! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Shovlar 10,439 Posted August 16, 2023 There were sponsors on the centre green last week but in a fenced off area in the middle. Chalk lines were running about 5 metres inside the track and no one was allowed closer to the track than that, except the starting track staff. Anyone know if Wright is riding tonight? If not guest or r/r? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
