Just spotted this article in the local rag, they are looking for any clarification on the location of the picture, ie home or away. Thought I stick it on here and see if anyone is the wiser, apparently it only ran as a speedway track for 2 years, 1929 to 1930 and then ran into financial trouble, their star rider appears to have been Squib Burton, I've certainly seen mention of him on here before. Anyway, hope some find it interesting, http://www.warringtonguardian.co.uk/news/16284445.When_Warrington_was_home_to_a_speedway_and_greyhound_track/?ref=mrb&lp=10 edit, on 2nd glance I think that Number 2 could be Greg Hancock, fits the profile

I think you may have mistakenly placed part of Mr High & Mighty's post and attributed it to me, be a good chap and correct things if you don't mind.

Thanks for that, fyi, Bewley & Auty are mis-spelt, cheers

You weren't accused of all sorts at all, just the continuous insulting people and their intelligence. Your opinions on speedway are usually worth reading but your attitude stinks.

Plenty you say, I said a couple, The mood wasn't all about Tai bashing, far from it, we just wondered why he hadn't helped Lambert, nothing more nothing less. Like you said you caught up late, maybe your attention was drawn to the odd posters who had a go at Tai, far in the minority.

For another day as you say Sid, Woffinden is the man of the moment and his return to the fold has to be welcomed, as has been said the experience Lambert gained this week will prove invaluable to him, as has also been said it's about the riders he beat rather than the ones he trailed. It's been a good while since I've felt so animated watching a meeting, was completely absorbing, loved it.

Agreed it was a good post but I think he's referring to the future when Tai becomes Britain's greatest ever, given his previous successes and time on his side he probably will achieve the status, here's hoping because it will only benefit British speedway. Meanwhile I think Peter Collins stands out as the greatest British rider.

I think you're misreading the mood here, virtually every poster has said how fantastic he has been all week, and he has, he's gone up a few notches in my estimation for his selfless riding all week. He's been an absolute pleasure to watch, always looking for Lambert and only leaving him when at risk of losing the win, Rob Lambert must have learned so much from him this week, amazing throttle control. That said, there are plenty of us who, having watched him shepherd Lambert all week, are left wondering why he opted to go after Laguta in the final when the only real chance of taking the title was to get Lambert ahead of Emil, after all he'd been doing that all week where possible. One or 2 have called him selfish but the vast majority have had nothing but praise for him, it's only natural to wonder why he didn't consider mixing it with Emil. Of course it's easy for us armchair experts to say he should have done it, doesn't mean we aren't proud of his efforts.

I suppose so but that means I've got to stay up late waiting for it to happen, just thought I'd help things along. Then again I can watch it on catch up tomorrow.

So within just a couple of minutes we've got people being naive, people who are blinded by great racing and people who can't see further than the end of their nose. And you wonder why you get so much stick off others, you're certainly adept at giving it out on a regular basis. Take a chill pill or you'll end up flouncing off again.

Gate 1 has been kind to Robert throughout, if he can be in amongst it at the first bend it's going to be a hectic 4 laps, either way well done Great Britain, brilliant performance.

HE'S OUT, HE'S OUT, HE'S OUT!!!! Quality tv.

Take a bow Rob Lambert, absolutely brilliant run to the line, well done lad..

Am wishing we had got the race against the Russians out of the way while Emil was struggling, he was flying there.

Dirty move Lindgren, no excuse for that.

They have so many open meetings in Poland we can only assume they see this another one, rather than a prestigious Championship, shame really as the racing has been great.

No internet.

Yes we do, we just forgot what it feels like.

Just watched heat 15 from last night again, Doyle & Fricke were left for dead, really good to see, we face them first tonight, hope we do it again.

There doesn't seem to be many positive vibes going on here, seems plenty are looking for reasons why we will lose out to the devious Poles. Time for some Tub-thumping I think, we're in a fantastic position and are well capable of consolidating it from the off tonight, , Come on lads, bring it home..

Great meeting, thoroughly enjoyed the racing from all teams but so chuffed to see us at the top, here's hoping it's as good and we claim the prize. Shout out to Phil Morris too, really smoothly run meeting on a decent track.

Agreed but based on tonight when we've beaten everyone except the Germans, yet, I wouldn't have any fears for us in a final run off. Then again tomorrow is another day...

This is just fantastic, happiness is a 5-1 over the Aussies, have that you bloaters.

Smolinski going well considering the battering he took in that fall, thought he may have crossed the line first bend last lap but obviously not. Really enjoying this, tomorrow already has plenty to live up to and who knows what else can happen tonight.

Well done boys, keep it going, fantastic team riding.
