Speedway in the Olympic Park! Is it a dream? Well it may well be, but with the increased Sky interest in recent years and Briggo riding a speedway bike once again around the outside of the hallowed tuft of Wembley in the England v Egypt footy match coming up soon, what better time-famous last words-to increase the publicity to get speedway back to London? Remember, the Olympic Park is supposed to be a national legacy, not just for the people of the surrounding area but for the whole country and beyond. So I enquired about an on line petition to get speedway into either the Olympic Stadium or the Olympic Park on the NO.10 website and much to my surprise it was accepted!
Please sign the online petition, the link is below.
http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Speedway-for-E15/I’ve already had a warm response from Tessa Jowel MP, Minister for the Olympics about putting a plaque commemorating the riders who lost their lives on the Hackney Wick track as near to the former track as possible.
