Sorry to intrude on the thread, but I saw that Clairville Staidum was mentioned. My dad used to race there and even won track league races there.
As JoyceySouthShields has said, it has been closed to bikes and for some time now, which is a real shame. The only track close by for us Boro lads to use and they shut it.
It is eventually going to be closed and more than likely demolished as Ray Mallon wants to save 50 million a year in the local area. We're going to get a new sports facility up the road at Prissick, but I doubt they'll put a velodrome in. There is a cycling track, but not really for fixed riders.
