According to Magnus Nystrom, Cyril Maidment and Anders Michanck , Christer Lofqvist simply didn't show up at Plough Lane rather than he didn't agree terms. The truth may be somewhere in the middle although having known Cyril quite well when I was growing up I will go with what he says
Hello Im totally new to the forum, but not new to Speedway but I read this section and this topic with interest.
My hope is that one of the Olympic stadium sites could be used as a venue for London Speedway. After all as London residents who have paid for these stadiums to be built in part I think we have a case to put. In these days of Sky Sports coverage I don't think finding a sponsor would be a major problem.
Failing that there are surely venues that could be adapted to house speedway tracks as part of their set up. I think extra revenue at some venues would generate interest. It's not impossible I don't think.
