Every track that staged a World Final outside of Wembley, apart from Malmö and Gothenburg as I have already mentioned them in an earlier post. That’s more than 5 though!.

Sad that there were London area tracks I never got to, but by the time BL II started, my dad wasn't able to go much because of work. My mum took me to Wimbledon by bus and tube, and we only did odd trips to West Ham and Hackney.

Norwich, Crystal Palace, Walthamstow, Greenford and Clapton (Lea Bridge).

A story about my never going to Norwich. I left school in 1965 and went to Teacher Training College in Norwich. Although I left school in 1965, I'd had to apply for college in 1964, so I applied for Norwich specially so i would be able to go to speedway there. Sadly as we know, Norwich closed at the end of 1964, so I was to remain speedwayless - though I did get along to King's Lynn once!

West Ham & New Cross - two old classics that closed down before I started going

Reading (Tilehurst) & Swindon Autodrome - the original versions of two that I regularly attended.

Bristol (Knowle) - with my mum. In the forties.
