What I do miss are the Wembley Finals set in the magnificence of the Empire Stadium with 90,000 fans yelling their heads off.....

But then I'm just an old codger, so what do you expect?

Here you go probably when the sport was near its peak how it missed Bruce

I have to say Wembley,  in its later years wasn’t the greatest track for racing ! 
 

To be fair with the modern style of speedway , the Manchester raceway is the best track for racing that has been used in the UK. As a “stadium”  honestly Wembley has to be the best - with its huge capacity and atmosphere, and ability to handle the huge crowds.  
manchester is only half a stadium and has little atmosphere in comparison with  industrial units surrounding half the site, and poor crowd capacity leading to high ticket prices. 
Glasgow is mooted - good track but again poor crowd capacity leading- high ticket prices . 
 

with a 6 team premier league lucky to have 2 GPs in the UK tbh.

Part of the enjoyment was the whole city seemed to embrace it and  people were talking about it everywhere you went. Also you could guarantee it would be on although the drainage and facilities at the NSS seem to be so good the meetings there are rarely affected.

Wait till Saturday on the rarely affected by the weather 😜
