Further update from @Higgi29 - We are getting very close to our £8,000 target so thank you all again. Please keep sharing and lets see if we can hit the magic £10,000

@Higgi29 has set up a go-fund-me page for people to help with the cost of paint and other materials needed to help bring the Stadium back to life. https://www.gofundme.com/f/odsal-stadium-go-paint-it

Thanks Roy. There's some really great history there. If anyone is interested there's a YouTube channel devoted to looking at the industrial history of Manchester here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3fqrmSkFjmkGGBPkoBO1GQ Well worth a look at some of the videos Martin's posted up.

Cheers @Carrot cruncher I received the following confirmation from Steve: You will have received an order number - if you go back into the account you created you will see download PDF option which is also your receipt / ticket - show that at the turnstiles please

What's the situation regarding tickets - are they posted out? Or do we need to print off the order confirmation? I ordered tickets last week and nothing has arrived in the post yet.

Cheers @0s0 😉

Does anyone know if there are child prices for this meeting? The Statrax website only has tickets listed at £20

Thanks Carl. I really enjoy reading these 'on this day' topics.

Finally something decent to watch on a Saturday night

It's had a major refurb prior to Venray.

Keith - 502 made only one other semi final back in 2009 at Coventry

It's clear from the blurb that Deane and his team have put a massive amount of effort both on the track and off it to revitalise this championship. I really hope it's a success this weekend and it breathes new life back into a championship event which had gone stale over the last few years. In the loner term, if Deane can master the track, could we see NIR as a regular filler for the vacated Cov dates?

Nothing new with promoters priority booking those drivers who've supported their tracks over the course of a season. Coventry, Trackstar and Startrax all (from memory) done it in the past for bookings for a World Final meeting.

Ged, I seem to recall that Guy Curval was guest of honour at the 2008 World Final at Ipswich. He did the "Drivers start your engines' The French used to run meetings, back in the early fifties, at the fantastically named Stad de Buffalo near Paris. I think they still have a saloon stox style formula that runs on Dutch style field tracks???
