Guest Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) I was at New Cross Stadium for: - April 17, 1946 - official speedway restart after the closure in 1939 for the war years. (A couple of open meetings were held in mid-1945). Good Friday, April 16, 1954 - the start of stock car racing in the UK. August 19, 1959 - the restart of speedway after the 1953 closure. Was any other BSF member at any of these events? Edited October 27, 2014 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norbold Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I was there on 11 May 1960 for the Britannia Shield match against Norwich, my first speedway meeting. And then very frequently after that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
