arnieg Posted July 16, 2003 Report Share Posted July 16, 2003 Haven't got something similar for the "arch rivals" Leicester Hunters have you by any chance ?. You want Alan Jonses' book: "Speedway in Leicester: the pre-war years" It details both Stadium and Super (the largest ever track in England) and is the most detailed book on pre-war speedway (with the possible exception of Jim Henry's EDinburgh - Marine Gardens, and the book about speedway in Manchester 1929-1945)) Vol 2 covering the Hunters era should be out next year. Contact the author @ 24Purbeck Ave,Shepshed,Loughborough LE12 9HD or speedwayinleicester@hotmail.com Read about attempts to get speedway at Grace Road (Leics County Cricket Club) and the apparition of Roy Reeves' ghost to his widow on the first bend at Blackbird Road Did you know : Stadium met Super 5 times and won them all... ...that Stadium rode against Denmark in 1930 .. that Super re-opened in 1936 for a handful of pirate meetings (a fact not recorded in Homes of British Speedway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
