    Does anyone go to see the sport anymore, or is just to support their own riders? I used to go to virtually every home meeting at Perry Barr and Leicester in addition to Saturday nights at the hive.

    Browsing the newspaper archive, there are several Jack Hobbs Trophies - greyhound racing (throughout the 1930s), cricket (of course), and the Wimbledon Speedway Championship in 1935.

    Championship Streaming Channel

    But who does the money go to? Stadium admission goes to the track. How much of the streaming fee goes to the track? Can’t see how it benefits track promotions.
