VIEWER REVIEW . . . Mick Cockcroft: "Just sat for four hours and watched the Halifax Speedway DVD that I got from Santa, and I have to say you can't beat a bit of nostalgia and reminiscing. I know it's over 30 years ago since The Shay on a Saturday night, but it honestly felt like yesterday listening to fantastic interviews from Messiahs Boothroyd and Boocock, Mikael Lohmann-Jørgensen and Klaus Lohmann and watching footage of racing from The Shay. Absolutely brilliant, I would well recommend to all Halifax Dukes supporters who remember the 70s and 80,s to go ahead and buy this DVD of pure Dukes nostalgia. A special thanks to Mike and Klaus for their great memories and kind words of appreciation to Dukes supporters. Probably our last chance to keep a little bit of Halifax Speedway to ourselves, as we remember it."
