Depends on the weather forecast.

How many fans actually come to a meeting carrying a shovel?.

The shay was unique in that as well as being a super racetrack,it was five minutes walk from Halifax town centre,and a Saturday race night as well,so a complete night out for many.It also helped that in the early years,most of the team lived within 10 miles of the track,so a real sense of them being 'our ' team.

Sadly,there are more than a "few" shady characters in Bradford. It's a shadow of the city it was 50 years ago.

Which station did you use?.Low Moor,on the Halifax line is nearest.It's a fair old drag uphill to Horsfall if you use either of the city centre stations.Plenty of buses you could use though.

Sort of,there are houses around the site,but they are not that close.Does not really matter,as it will never happen.

Without taking out the athletics track,there is no way Horsfall stadium could be used for speedway.Another problem is the football pitch is of the synthetic 4g variety,so defiantly no bikes allowed on that surface.Interestingly,Bradford fc 's former home at Park Avenue staged noise tests for speedway,just before the stadium closed,but nothing came of it.

Looks like they are keeping the shale track,so maybe hope for speedway yet,in years to come.

New promoters announced for the stock cars,taking over both Odsal and Owlerton stocks.Talking of possibly a new surface at Odsal,though I don't know if that means removing the shale,which cut up badly towards the end of last year's season,admittedly after quite heavy rain.
