First Film Of Speedway

[norbold 7,099]

I believe that some time ago we had a discussion on here about the first speedway film showing Keith McKay and Billy Galloway racing at Stamford Bridge but can't find it.

 

The reason I was looking for it was because I used to think that this Pathe film was shown in London before the first High Beech meeting and may have been responsible for the higher than expected attendance at that first meeting. However, I think someone cast doubt on that and came up with the dates the film was made and shown, showing that couldn't be correct.

 

Can anyone confirm those dates please?

Thank you, r&r, I found that, but that's not the thread I was looking for. It was one where someone pointed out that the Stamford Bridge film couldn't have been responsible for the high attendance at the first High Beech meeting.
