I assume based on what has gone before the sport is bollocks and will never get back to its heyday and the hard core supporter iit had and is simply left with the remnants of what was a spectacle to be enjoyed by a diminishing number followers. All very sad

I've been to Athletics there - it's a nice stadium good views no matter where you are sat, and yes if a track could be laid it would be ok for speedway I would think. Another potential one could be the Crystal Palace Athletics Arena - been there for Athletics too similar to Alexander Stadium.

Somewhere like the Alexander Stadium in Birmingham might be the right size and even Nigel Tolley was talking of moving the Brummies there... but then he is completely mad 🎩

I'm hearing due to lack of interest the triggers fans bus is cancelled 😲 always used to bring a bus full of fans to most tracks in the north, sign of the times 🤔 maybe having streaming parties rather than going to the track these days 

Fine, an acceptable response and I bow to your superior standing. Thank goodness standards are alive and well south of the Thames. Unfortunately I cannot claim the elitist status that you hold by living on the Essex Suffolk border but I can that being within local proximity to a prominent politician who will transform Jaywick into the next Sandbanks and believe me the beaches could do it but everything else needs a serious injection of investment to bring it up to the standard that the Victorians enjoyed, Jaywick was the place to go back in the day and it does not need any boat people to raise the standards. It is a hidden gem needing investment but the beach / coast alone takes some beating.

It was announced at the Manchester GP that Monster are running some kind of 3 round series within the series for the Polish GP's, I didn't pick up on all the details.  And of course BSI ran some kind of "Super Prix" back in the noghties, the richest 60 seconds in motorsport or something, was that for £100k Benfield Sports International (BSI) did run a massive cash-prize gimmick in the noughties, and it is the exact reason why that specific "richest minute" phrase exists. The event was the **2007 German Speedway Grand Prix**, held at the Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen on October 13, 2007. BSI heavily promoted it because it marked the **100th Grand Prix** since the SGP series took over from the old one-off World Finals. To celebrate the milestone, BSI put up a staggering **$100,000 cash prize** strictly for the winner of the Grand Prix final. Because a standard four-lap final takes roughly 60 seconds, BSI’s entire marketing campaign for the meeting billed that specific race as **"The Richest Minute in Sport."** Here is how that dramatic night actually played out:  * **The Track Farce:** The event became infamous for all the wrong reasons. The temporary track laid inside the football stadium began disintegrating almost immediately during practice and the early heats, with massive ruts and chunks of shale flying up.  * **The Delayed Drama:** The track was deemed so dangerous that the meeting had to be completely abandoned on Saturday night and re-staged the following afternoon (Sunday, October 14).  * **The Winner:** After all the chaos, the legendary **Andreas Jonsson** won the re-staged final, successfully pocketing the $100,000 cheque for his 60 seconds of work. He beat Greg Hancock, Jason Crump, and Leigh Adams to the line. While the actual event in Germany was a bit of a logistical nightmare for BSI, the marketing line worked so well that the "richest 60 seconds" tagline stuck around in speedway media and broadcasting for years afterward.
