Going back to my apprentice days in Sheffield, my old firm were next door to a haulage company who sponsored Ivan Mauger.On Quest now, BellVue Vs Sheffield.
No Ole Olsen, Ivan Mauger though...
If the wind was blowing from the south we could hear the speedway at Owlerton Stadium in Sheffield, not far from Hillsborough.Used to be able to hear speedway at the Shay in Halifax when I was a kid - we lived 4 miles away, with a big hill in the way . .
They are indeed, lots of time and money has been put into the track for the return of motorsport and now the shale has been laid it looks mint, I can't wait to see F1 stockcars around there again.Stock cars supposed to be coming back to Odsal in Bradford . . .

I had a work mate who mad for it. I went with him one night....they have the Panorama room where you can watch the speedway (or dogs) from the warmth of the bar....I thought this is Ok so I went a few times but once you realise the first to the first bend (usually the one on the inside) wins it gets boring. Owlerton also does dogs....thats OK but I soon get bored with that as well....havent been much for years.If the wind was blowing from the south we could hear the speedway at Owlerton Stadium in Sheffield, not far from Hillsborough.
And on warm summer nights all those years ago, we used to hear drop hammers forging all night. Sadly all gone but certainly not forgotten.

Car SOS had a Cannon trials car rebuild the other day. Going back to the days when I did trials, one of the passengers was a large busty lady, she was bouncing well up a section & her bra gave way, that lot on the move gave some extra traction ...... & made us laughNext thing you know they will be showing mud plugging , always enjoyed watching the passenger bouncing up and down to aid traction
