Stumbled upon this last night - It was an Autotest Site on Top Gear in 2012.

I have a soft spot for that stadium.
One because we have a 100% record there
and two because the loids have given me so much pleasure for building the bloody thing.

It looks awful now. Green moss all over the white bits, uncleaned windows, overgrown weeds everywhere. Don't think Mowden Park are looking after the place well at all, not surprised on sub-300 crowds...

That will be because that version of the Stig was Paul Swift who runs his stunt driving experiences in the stadium car park.

I keep an eye on the local rugby scene (league and union) and I know at the start they were getting over 1000 people there. Predictably the novelty has worn off.

They have been trying to get a new ground built for years although quite why they felt the need to move from their previous ground at Yiewsley Drive is beyond most outsiders.
