To be honest, there is no actual 'need' for banked corners in speedway anyway and many tracks are flat.

Considering the pitch at Widnes, it might be possible to make the corners out of that coloured, rubberised tarmac they use on playgrounds. Sorted!

, and he said that the surface erodes due to the racing and was likely to block the drains. That was apparently the biggest of the cons in the, 'is speedway feasible' argument.

Well if the speedway guru wants to bring it back he should pay for the improvements to the drainage, why don't we get a heated pitch whilst we are at it also, makes sense.

Why would spending a fortune on a heated pitch make sense?

Digging the pitch to improve the drainage lol we could have it rated also.

This is all up in the ailir anyway need both parties to agree to this idea or it will be dead before it starts I don't see a problem apart from the drainage, as mentioned. A lot of the grounds are differwnt sizes and no one moans so why would out up turned corners gives us home advantage which I though was the point of playing at home.

Bricking up one goal and swapping them round at half time would give us some home advantage too.

On the face of it, with the season as it is [we seem to be playing every week Feb to April, then twice a month in summer it seems logical. To be honest though, if money were to be available for spending on the pitch, I'd go for upgrading the drains and re-laying.

No don't be silly, if its done properly with thoughtful planning don't see why it cant work.

Having the slopes is pretty silly, and frankly I can't justify having them there for home advantage. I'm pretty sure we were instructed to flatten them out when we returned to Odsal.

I honestly can't see the RFL agreeing to this at all. I'm not sure I want them to either.

Well, instructed to or not, they've all but disappeared these days - which I must admit amuses me when commentators refer to the corners as if they were still the same as 25 years ago
