i bought that video the other week, not a lot of the Hawks period that you want, most of the video action is about the Kestrals. Not one of the better videos, although the walkabout of the old stadium bought back lots of memories, but did show how rundown the old place had become by the end. Must say the presenter was a bit dodgy.

In the Express, said "on the the site of the old Greyhound and Speedway track". At least one journalist knows his stuff.

http://sport.guardian.co.uk/olympics/story...1072332,00.html Seems like they dont want to use the land after all, wonder why they pulled down all the remaining buildings that made it still a stadium (all be it, unused), just days before this news came out? :x

Terrible news. :x a place of wonderful childhood memories. The stadium site was purchased by the London Development Agency and I was told of a local newspaper article a few months ago that reported they wanted to return the stadium to its former use if the Olympic bid failed, looks unlikey that will happen if theres no stadium left.

Its been a bit wet in Sweden (where are my wellies? smilie)* http://www.kaparna.nu/bilder-bygge-gp-bana...levi-030822.htm link posted by someone on yahoo list. (sorry forgot who) *hope you dont mind LT

Worst tactitian must go to Swedish team manager and/or Michael Max, for his last bend pass (to take 2nd) in heat 24. Ruled out a last heat Joker, and with only AJ finishing would have grabbed a draw, and a run-off between poss Rickardsson and Gollob would have been great to see.

or a team that already has a track being used for 5 meetings this year.

i`ve managed to climb out of the ruts. too many JD`s tonight to care, think it was a good meeting, sure someone who was there will confirm or not for me.

I`ll let you know if he keeps to it.

I`m not that keen on turnips.

I`m sure it will be just as bad as it usually is. ps. i`m trying to get there on the 15th

cant see its too dark outside. has been dry here all day today, had rain tonight tho. but I`m about 60miles from Ipswich.

Havn`t airplanes got up as far as Manchester yet? this North/South divide is bigger than I thought. cya tomorrow Addy.

Your secret is safe with me. Hope your still doing the positive thinking.

A large bottle of wine, so I`m told

Anyone got any news of how practice went today? Did any of our Polish members go? My money is on Leigh Adams, dont know why just a feeling.

try http://www.speedwayplus.co.uk click on stadia pictures and links page.

They said on Sky this week that Mark hopes to ride in the first GP, thats only 3 weeks away

The offical SGP site shows Peter Karlsson as number 26, top of the qualified reserve riders, so guess its him.

Sean, has speedway ever been held at the Romford dogs? thought it was at Brooklands home of Romford F.C.

Gone, another supermarket. :-( (never made it there)

Victor Chandlers, new sponsors of the Coventry Bees? I wonder if the speedway bug has caught them good and proper yet?

It is indeed a wonderful stadium, for years I used to look out of my bedroom window and see the illuminated front of the stadium and wondered why nobody ever used it for speedway. Stock cars/bangers used the track in the early seventies I believe (bloke I work with says he raced there.) However much it would be nice to have speedway running back there, I cant see the GRA (stadium owners?) being for the idea, but who knows has anyone asked them?

no your not , I`m TT
