The Saffrons

Yesterday I was going to school with my father. He took a different route this time and it was from the Saffron's stadium. This stadium was very beautiful. I asked about it my father and he gave me information that this velodrome, which was formerly thought to be among the best in the nation, is currently being demolished. The track has been unused for about ten years. Built-in the late 1960s for the 1970 World Cycling Championship (which was held in Leicester), the 3,100-seater velodrome on Saffron Lane in Leicester was a cutting-edge cycling track that drew elite cyclists from throughout the nation.

In Leicester, England, there is a big 8-lane (9-lane straight) 400-meter synthetic floodlit running track that has a steeplechase water jump. The main two athletics clubs in the area are OWLS AC Leicester and Leicester Coritanian A.C., who specialize in middle and long distances respectively. Other athletic teams, including the Leicester Walking Club, the University of Leicester athletics team, and other neighborhood running clubs, train at the track.

When I reached school I told about this stadium to my friends and we made a plan that we will go to this place in the evening as tomorrow was the weekend and there will be no homework. After leaving school we decided that we will meet at my friend's place and from there we will go to the stadium. My friend told me that his brother was also a part of the cycling team at the stadium who represents his college team and he will arrange the tickets for today's match that was going to happen there.

When we reached my friend’s house his brother has arranges tickets for us and we were very excited. It was around 6:00 pm and the match was about to start at 7 and at 8 pm the stadium would have been closed. My friend's father had booked company cab for us as it was very reliable and safe. My friend also uses this cab even alone as this is very efficient and you can track the ride all the time.

When we reached the airport the match started in 10 minutes. We were happy that we reached on time. There was a practice match between different school teams. My friend’s brother was also there and he was representing his school. He is one of the best cyclists in his school. My friend asked us to pray for his brother as we all wanted him to win. After 15 minutes of cycling, all the cyclist reaches their destination. His brother has got 2 positions and it was remarkable. We were very happy and asked our friend to give us a treat. There were some cafes near the stadium so we went there. It was nighttime and the stadium was about to close. We eat snacks and talk a lot. We were happy that tomorrow is that weekend and we do not have to study. After some time my friend's brother came and he booked a cab for us and we reached home in company cab.
