I used to love going to the speedway on a Friday or Saturday night. Once a year
the American teams came out to compete and it was all good family stuff. Funny, we
were only reminiscing about that last night, coincidence. Take the kids, food,
drinks etc., lovely.
Tough Bikies would be there with their families and any sign of trouble or drunken
behaviour, the bikies would literally bang a few heads together explaining that
this was "a family environment". Cops left them to it...
Unfortunately the development value of the land became so high that weak
councillors caved into the demands of property developers and rezoned the area to
residential/commercial and the whole Sydney area lost another recreational
facility.
Oh well, what's new...
