Daz Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Anyone else here follow speedway? I've been going to my local track for the past year now and have got totally addicted to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarMad Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 I've watched it on TV before now but never been to watch it there. Belle Vue isn't that far away but not had the chance to get there to watch anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bangle Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Speedway, first went when I was 10 years old, its still huge here in Scandi. I've even been to Belle Vue and Rye House to watch races, infact one of my childhood memories is hiding behind oil drums on the bends as the bikes ripped past, spraying gravel and dust everywhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tipex Posted July 22, 2016 Report Share Posted July 22, 2016 Arlington Stadium is just up the road from us, go along every now and again to watch the Eagles, but can't honestly say I'm a huge fan, my brother follows Ipswich Witches (I think that's what they are called) and is much more in to it than I am. Takes some serious bollocks to ride those things flat out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy2shots Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 Been watching on TV for years but heading to Poole stadium on the 1st August for my first taste of live action. Of course it helps having the best team in the land on our doorstep, hey Daz. No brakes, no fear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly I'll be there on the 1st and the 3rd too. Darcy Ward is attending on the 3rd so that's going to be a manic night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed the track daily as my school was just up there. We did Saturday mornings at school and the roar of the methanol-fuelled 4-strokes would be I'm full force on the way home.

Scotty Posted July 23, 2016 Report Share Posted July 23, 2016 My nan used to cycle all over the country watching speedway. I've watched it a bit on TV but never gone to it live. Rye House is only 15 mins away so perhaps I'll take the boys sometime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mort Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 Been a few times to Belle Vue and I like watching on TV. Its proper intense racing every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busby Posted August 5, 2016 Report Share Posted August 5, 2016 I'll definitely have to give it ago once I am up and about again. Being Midlands based there are a few places not a million miles away but I have never been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 Poole gave Kings Lynn a good trashing last night 65-25 Belle Vue are looking strong this season too and Tai Woofinden has just signed for Wolverhampton for the remainder of the season. So it's looking like a real 3 way battle for the Elite League title this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewNiceMrMe Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have been to one speedway event - in Middlesbrough. It was, somewhat unbelievably, 30 years ago. I don't think there is a track there now but it used to be a big thing for Middlesbrough for a very long time. Not sure what happened to them or the track (and I could be completely wrong but I'm sure it all got demolished). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
