I saw the Rayleigh Rockets in action. Couldn't have been more than 10 years old, but remember it now.
Also, a couple of times while on holiday, we saw the Ipswich Witches.
Good times, they were.
The Rayleigh Rockets? I did not know this!
Hackney use to have a decent speedway team in my youth
The stadium used to be where Sainsbury's and that estate by the 127 at the weir (which was a roundabout in those days) is now
Yep, from memory it was right at the very end of that estate. Basically where Stadium Way is now, instead of bearing left into Phoenix Way (where Argos is) if you head straight on to the end, the stadium used to be right over the back there, although I might have that wrong.
I've already linked the old map of the Stadium in post #27, Andy.
