Perhaps they've given up on it because its a cesspit.

Spot on. I left Twitter X more than a year ago for that reason. When Twitter began there was a really nice group of speedway fans who interacted. Long gone.

I would have thought that the first home meeting in several seasons that all the squad of Buxton`s team would be riding. 

Prey tell why 2 squad riders did not ride?

Social media brings the worst out in people. The ones that can’t confront you face to face. Anyone can be brave on a keyboard.

Whilst I totally understand where you’re coming from, different people use different social media platforms. So clubs need to use them all to make the biggest influence.

What was the crowd like yesterday Dean?

I don’t know numbers but I would say over 500 both stands were fairly full and obviously a lot of people watched from their cars, I would say they were more than happy with the crowd

Great news, let’s hope it continues throughout the season.

Thanks for the reply 👍

500>600 looked about right

Jamie? Not sure where or why

Luke was at Tallington

Arran Butcher rode then travelled overnight to Balkbrug NL for today so great effort from him to be at Buxton Sunday

Dusting off the cobwebs yesterday probably went better than expected. Improvements meeting on meeting will be likely for sure

I was there too, over the moon that it's back. Probably the healthiest crowd I've ever seen which was lovely to see. 

It was bitterly cold though with a relentless freezing wind that just didn't give up. Me and my dad had to leave after heat 12 because the cold won, but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and can't wait to go back for more.

For those who are already moaning about it or have negative comments to make, please keep them to yourselves. The people that have poured their hearts and souls into brining Buxton back from the dead would be hurt to see this, and we should be supporting new tracks coming into the sport, no matter what your opinions are.
