THE DEAN MACHINE Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago 47 minutes ago, BTFC LION said: Having worked at Northampton last year I would say its not quite as simple as you suggest. No changing rooms, no showers, no refs box,(but is a building that could be used) . Foam fence is needed, but also wooden fencing to be made for the straights as that is steel plate aswell, plus some way of padding out the rope and post on top of the outer fence. Earth mounds with steel plate would all need removing on the inside of the bends. Then after all of that you need staff, licenced officials. Don't get me wrong, I would love to see it happen. And all that in a month Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mildenhall Fen Tigers (2010): Experienced a mid-season closure in 2010. From Wikipedia, any takers in the Den? From my knowledge Cradley Heath shut at the end of 1952 then moved across to Monmore as the Wolverhampton Wasps! They did not close in mid season 1953. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ringwood was a speedway track which operated in the Southern Area League in 1954 and then partly in 1955 before closure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
