TonyMac Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Just to let you know, we've just added a number of new pictures of sadly defunct tracks to our site. If you can stand the pain of looking at these shrines to British speedway, colour pics were taken at the following: Belle Vue (Hyde Road) Crewe Glasgow (Craighead Park)-in black & white only Hackney (arrrrgggh!) Halifax Harringay Leicester (Lions fans of a sensitive disposition should not go there - it's a pic of a flattened Blackbird Road. Sorry.) Reading Rochdale Walthamstow Wimbledon http://www.retro-speedway.com Click the 'Gallery' tab on our Home Page and go to the Defunct Tracks section... If anybody has any pics of defunct tracks that they would like us to add to our site, so that others can enjoy viewing and reminiscing over them, then please email the pic(s) to me at editorial@retro-speedway.com. We would be pleased to add your name to the list of credits, if you wish. Cheers, Tony Mac Edited July 6, 2008 by tmc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TonyMac Posted July 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks a bunch, Tony; looking at those pics made me want to cry my bloody eyes out... Steve Steve, More tears on their way, mate. Have just added three views of Plough Lane. And there are also new shots of Belle Vue, Crewe, Rochdale, Doncaster and Leicester just added. Can anyone confirm the 'unknown' venue on the site? There's a football pitch in the middle, but I'm still none the wiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WembleyLion Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Steve, Can anyone confirm the 'unknown' venue on the site? There's a football pitch in the middle, but I'm still none the wiser. Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago.

JC! Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago. Thats what I thought when I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

salty Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago. 99% certain its Ellesmere Port, check it with a pic on the Speedway Plus site.

Shadders Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Penarth Stadium Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOBBATH Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 Without being pedantic the Cardiff track was actually called Penarth Road Stadium-Penarth at that time was a separate town just outside Cardiff. So its Penarth Road Stadium, not Penarth Stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
