Rickyag Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago 1 hour ago, therefused said: Think I read previously that this has been looked at fairly recently but there’s a rule that means it can’t happen as it’s too close to Kings Lynn? I believe it was something to do with the previous manager enquired but because it was within 30 miles of KL there is a rule saying a new track cannot open within that distance. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one really complained when you had several tracks operating in London at the same time. It says the current owners would consider leasing it. Completely different scenario in an extremely densely populated conurbation like London. A speedway team in Swaffham would be tapping into the very same customer base that go to Lynn in a part of the world which is relatively sparsely populated. Just dont think it would work for either venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway at swaffham has been talked bout for best part of 40 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
