    That's a big problem.I know it's a long time ago,but when Halifax re-opened,only one rider,Dave Younghusband,lived more than 10 miles away from Halifax,so apart from minimum travelling for home meetings,it really felt like a home team you were supporting.

    The stock car people have 20 years left on the lease,but the rugby club are doing all the can to put them off.The shale has been scraped off the track and dumped where the stock car pits used to be.I can't see any way motorsport will return to Odsal,unless the rugby club go ** up again.

    That guy must have a bloody long neck.

    Can't help thinking that that is in bad taste.What Kenny did was nothing to make fun of.

    More than one year left on the lease.There is more to the Odsal story than we are being told.Someone in the local paper suggested that the stock car people were considering legal action against the rugby club.My.guess is that the rugby club will have to pay compensation to the stock car people,but there will be no more motorsport at Odsal.

    I remember him breaking the track record at Halifax,leaving Kenny Carter in his wake.He said he had been using his"gold top"engine,whatever that meant.

    But the press release was referring to the premiership.

    They must have forgotten Oxford ,they said all teams except Birmingham are returning,which is not true.

    Bradford hoped the crowd would move an-mass from Halifax,but it didn't.There were unique circumstances that kept Halifax crowds healthy,certainly by today's standards,but there was no way they could be replicated at Odsal.

    I'm not sure The betting companies would be interested in speedway,all gambling is open to "fixing",but speedway perhaps more than most.Engine failures,falls,missing the gate,getting filled in,,perhaps too much risk for the bookies.

    Probably the most likely outcome is that there will be no league speedway on tv for at least two years.

    No,from what I have read,discovery is staying with Warner Bros.as is TNT USA,but Netflix is taking TNT international.All this could take up to 12-18 months to finalise,so I guess a lot of things are in limbo for now.

    I think Yarmouth were the first visitors to the shay in Halifax,in the late 1950s,I'm sure I saw something on you tube about it.
  14. Derrickn
    , TNT international are going to Netflix,as part of the deal to buy Warner Bros. streaming service.So it could be all up in the air again.Discovery are staying with Warner Bros.

    Maybe another provincial league to be formed.
