I was interested to see these Tamworth second half results from way back in1947- wow 73 years ago. I was particularly interested to see Arthur Payne-our now oldest surviving World Finalist was one of the competitors-amazing. Also Alan Hunt just starting out. Does anyone know if the old Tamworth Stadium is still there-or if not what replaced it. I remember the old second halves as part of a night's speedway racing-long gone I guess.
