The County Ground was one of the best, and fastest tracks in the world, it should never have closed, perhaps a larger regular attendance might have helped, but I'll always remember it for the fantastic atmosphere and friendly fans and supporters.
Every Exeter councilor should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this historic track to close.. Everyone watching this clip must join the campaign to bring speedway back to Exeter !
Still brings a tear to my eye watching this , as it did during the meeting . can understand why the rugby club wanted to move , as their new place is fab , but surely the council could have bought the county ground ? they bailed the footy club out a few years ago
Fingers crossed The Falcons will fly again at Haldon in 2008 and rather than showing an End of Era video will hopefully show a start of a new Era one.
Heart breaking to see the great history of the Falcons come to an end at this great stadium. Should never of been allowed. Thanks for the video posting. Hope you can post more footage if you have more of the Falcons, past & recent I'd be very interested in viewing it, again thanks.
great to see the awesome Ivan Mauger on the track, dont know why solo bikes died out here in NZ, but good to see Jason Crumpe leading the resurgence here when he comes here to race during our season, it is on a comeback in these parts, making regular appearances at speedway meetings with other classes
I started going in 66 when i was 6. I now live in Penzance but would travel up to the county ground 3 or4 times a year.
but toniht i was in exeter so i walked to the site and i cried.
If There is a place that has atmosphere its here. now a houing estate. its all so bloody sad.
