List of Speedway Promoters 1928 to present day

[old bob at herne bay]

Hi, Has anyone ever come across lists of British Speedway Promoters from its earliest days here ? 
 

I’ve not found anything- but wondered whether someone has compiled such a list - especially as speedway lurches towards its 100th Anniversary ?

Obviously, everyone has ignored your post so far, but to be honest, I think that is a great idea! I'll start looking around, and see what info I can come up with...
