The old speedway stadium became the new football ground recently opened.. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The old speedway stadium became the new football ground recently opened.. Correct. The old football ground was at the top of Plough Lane, at the corner of Durnsford Rd. It was sold in 1998, and it was demolished in 2002. The flats were completed in 2008. The speedway stadium was a few hundred yards down Plough Lane on the corner of Summerstown. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
