Some emotional scenes at Brough Park last night with a large crowd present to see what effectively could be the last ever speedway meeting at this track, for anyone not there check out the final track walk photo on speedwaygb.co.uk, the meeting was made even more sad with the announcement of the passing of Dave Tatum overnight, resulting in his close friend Ben Barker excluding himself from the meeting. With a number of former Devils on show what better way for the season to end than a last heat decider that went the way of the visitors by a single point, effectively leaving Newcastle with the 2021 Championship Wooden Spoon, but in saying that the night was so much more than that, the country is littered with hundreds of former tracks, some having been built on, others lying empty, but in the long run they are sort of still going in the memories of thousands of people.
