Recommended Posts

Norfolk Braves ran out of Kings Lynn for a short time, I think it was in between being at Skegness and being renamed Boston.

If you want discuss Somerset you need to go to the Premiership section. This thread is about teams not named after towns or cities. 

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.

Oxford Cheetahs

Apart from plenty more listed earlier in this thread! Oh, and add Arena Essex too.

Are my posts invisible to everyone? 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!

Is Somerset the only speedway team currently and over the years to be named after a county as opposed to a town or city etc?

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.

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.

...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!
