cityrebel Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Pity you couldn't have got hold of the Programmes. They would probably be worth a few bob nowadays. unfortunately they were all dog programmes of no interest to me. the only speedway items i found were some plaster busts of norman parker dating back to the 1940's. i think i still have one somewhere at my parent's house.

oldace Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 (edited) Posted Today, 10:58 AM  STARRGAZER1, on 08 February 2013 - 10:40 AM, said:  Not sure of the names but aren't some of the roads built on the old Blackbird Road stadium in Leicester named after speedway riders?  No    I stand corrected but there is a Wiltshire Ave at the back  Not sure of the speedway connection with Leicester there and Wiltshire Road was there before the stadium was demolished anyway, the houses were at the back of the old back straight. I think there are a few houses on the stretch of Parker Drive near the old entrance that are addressed Stadium Rise Edited February 11, 2013 by oldace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hackett Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 (edited) There is a Havelock Road close to the Millenium Stadium. Named in the former World Champions honour after a spectacular drunken fanzone with Sean Wilson on Sky Sports one year ;-) Edited February 13, 2013 by Hackett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
