  1. Just to confirm,the stock car promoters have now surrendered their lease,and the rugby club are going to widen the pitch.Can't help feeling something dodgy has gone on here,but everyone is keeping quiet.The local paper asked the stocks for comment got no reply.
  2. It's ok saying the track will get better,but with regular stock car meetings,its always going to be a case of starting from scratch with track prep.
  3. But you do get a roof at Belle Vue.
  4. It's a long time ago,but I think Leicester used to have a horseshoe design on their race jackets.
  5. Leicester used to be called the "Hunters",as per fox hunters.
  6. That's just what someone new to speedway needs.Try telling them we have this bloke who rides for someone else,but he's riding for us tonight.And by the way,we're a bit short of riders,so some of ours are taking extra rides to cover.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. That guy must have a bloody long neck.
  10. Can't help thinking that that is in bad taste.What Kenny did was nothing to make fun of.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. But the press release was referring to the premiership.
  14. They must have forgotten Oxford ,they said all teams except Birmingham are returning,which is not true.
