Anyway, apart from Kent and Somerset I don't think there's many more. Edit:- Bristol today is actually classified as a county, so Bristol Bulldogs would qualify.

Arena Essex was the first team I mentioned yesterday, and I named several others. Now you are all coming up with the teams I said! Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An historical county, county borough, or modern ceremonial or preserved county? I'd think many speedway teams over the years would have been situated in county boroughs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd think many speedway teams over the years would have been situated in county boroughs. If Metropolitan Counties count, London Lions. If riders count, Denzil Kent, Dave Durham, Leon Flint and Chris "Greater" Manchester. Don't think anyone has mentioned Arena Essex yet either. Quite an obvious one really.

Joking of course ...you never know I'd probably give it a visit living in York as I do! However I've left the front door wide open to allow the 'Flying Pig' that often frequents my house an easy escape route! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
