Yes can re-call him posting a groveling apology to Workington speedway in order to get back in. "Would appear that after careful consideration Workington decided they would rather close than have him back"
Recently saw an old photo of Sheffield speedway. Think it was from 1947 with a crowd of 43000. That will probably be more than the crowd for the entire season now.
Seem to recall that not so long ago Mildenhall called off a match, incurred the wrath of the authorities and a hefty penalty. Why is the Eastbourne Sheffield different?
