At least KL still have a team to support though.... and think Crump was the fastest rider I ever saw there in his prime, just for us Eastie fans now. If someone has money, I think there is a chance Arlington will see speedway again. Been told there is no chance of getting planning permission for houses on the site.

Been told there is no chance of getting planning permission for houses on the site. The problem for the foreseeable future is that the stadium owners still allow Spedeworth to run cars and don't want speedway to return at what seems any level. Suppose a load of money could change that, but can't see that happening really unfortunately. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FromBendThree 145 Posted February 10 See Lynn have axed Gav Caney as presenter. Any news who will replace? It was good to have a youngish voice - too many old men doing the job in British speedway. Last season’s BEN fund at Lynn was a classic example. Borefest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Totally agree or the atmosphere is likely to be flat as a pancake We had a chap on the mic a few seasons back, very lively but knew sweet fa about speedway. With a bit longer behind the mic he'd have developed a bit of speedway knowledge and been decent at the job Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bald Bloke 3,287 Posted February 21 (edited) Sometimes an over enthusiastic presenter looks a bit silly at Lynn. Trying to get the crowd going at Lynn don't always work imho. Edited February 21 by Bald Bloke Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
