Richard Hollingsworth has been on his travels again. This time he brings us pictures of Brough Park in Newcastle.

Dave left the following comments on The County Ground.
"Exeter's County Ground Stadium and track is unique, one of the very few old 1920's tracks still left. I feel that efforts should be made to keep the County Ground as a sports facility with improvements to the spectator facilities.

I'm sure the stadium could be viable if Speedway is kept on a Monday night, reintroducing greyhounds twice a week, Rugby, maybe Football and even a handful of stock car meetings. Those who think that stock cars and Speedway don't combine well on the same surface should look at King's Lynn which is one of the best surfaces in the Country even with many stock car events taking place, testament to good equipment and track staff. Step forward a big Stadia group or entrepreneur! "

There's a Newport theme to the site this week. First up is some more of the ever-popular track photographs. Once again we have Richard Hollingsworth to thank for these fine snaps of Hayley Stadium in Newport. This purpose built venue has been the home of the Wasps since Tim Stone reopened the club in 1997.

Martin Wilkins has been a Newport fan for many years and his Dream Team reflects this. We always love to receive your Dream or Nightmare teams, these can be submitted through the link to the right.
