TonyMac 720 Posted July 5, 2008 (edited) Just to let you know, we've just added a number of new pictures of sadly defunct tracks to our site. If you can stand the pain of looking at these shrines to British speedway, colour pics were taken at the following: Belle Vue (Hyde Road) Crewe Glasgow (Craighead Park)-in black & white only Hackney (arrrrgggh!) Halifax Harringay Leicester (Lions fans of a sensitive disposition should not go there - it's a pic of a flattened Blackbird Road. Sorry.) Reading Rochdale Walthamstow Wimbledon http://www.retro-speedway.com Click the 'Gallery' tab on our Home Page and go to the Defunct Tracks section... If anybody has any pics of defunct tracks that they would like us to add to our site, so that others can enjoy viewing and reminiscing over them, then please email the pic(s) to me at editorial@retro-speedway.com. We would be pleased to add your name to the list of credits, if you wish. Cheers, Tony Mac Edited July 6, 2008 by tmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyMac 720 Posted July 6, 2008 Thanks a bunch, Tony; looking at those pics made me want to cry my bloody eyes out... Steve Steve, More tears on their way, mate. Have just added three views of Plough Lane. And there are also new shots of Belle Vue, Crewe, Rochdale, Doncaster and Leicester just added. Can anyone confirm the 'unknown' venue on the site? There's a football pitch in the middle, but I'm still none the wiser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WembleyLion 418 Posted July 6, 2008 Steve, Can anyone confirm the 'unknown' venue on the site? There's a football pitch in the middle, but I'm still none the wiser. Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JC! 142 Posted July 6, 2008 Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago. Thats what I thought when I saw it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

salty 2,208 Posted July 7, 2008 Possibly Ellesmere Port because of the football pitch, but I'm not really sure as I only went there a few times and that was a long time ago. 99% certain its Ellesmere Port, check it with a pic on the Speedway Plus site.

Shadders 4,137 Posted July 7, 2008 Penarth Stadium Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BOBBATH 467 Posted July 7, 2008 Without being pedantic the Cardiff track was actually called Penarth Road Stadium-Penarth at that time was a separate town just outside Cardiff. So its Penarth Road Stadium, not Penarth Stadium. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
