  • The Fans' Favourites
    INTRODUCTION Welcome to this FREE speedway e-book, the first of its kind as far as we're aware. This book collates the memories and impressions of riders that we've received for our 'Dream Team' feature on the Speedway Plus website. This book runs from Adams to Zetterstrom giving the supporters' opinions on many riders from the past and present. The comments were made between 2000 and 2007, therefore if you find a comment suggesting that a 27 year old Premier League second string is a stick-on to be World Champion, it's likely to be one of the older contributions. This book differs from any other as it's written entirely by a cross section of supporters, from virtually every track in the land and with varying experiences of speedway. If a rider isn't listed, it's because nobody has chosen them as one of their seven favourite all time riders. Similarly if a little known rider has been included, it's because they've made sufficient impression on someone to be nominated. A definite case of democracy in action. Clearly, given that the comments were all written in this present century, the majority of the riders are from the British League era (1965 onwards). However, there are a number of vintage favourites in there also. If you want your own personal favourites to feature in any subsequent editions then fill in our 'Dream Team' submission form on the website. We hope you enjoy the book.

  • L DSHV Hull Vikings Match Programmes 1949-2001
    Hull History Centre: Hull Vikings Match Programmes L DSHV Hull Vikings Match Programmes 1949-2001 Historical Background: Originally known as the Hull Angels, the team was based at Hedon and raced between 1947 and 1949. When speedway returned to Hull in 1971 the team became known as the Vikings and they raced at The Boulevard on a 380 metres long track. However, financial pressure and falling crowds saw the club fold once more in 1981 and when the team re-formed in 1995 they had moved to Craven Park and raced on a track 346 metres long. 1999 saw the team racing in the Elite League, but it was in the Premier League where they gained most success, racing to the treble of Premier League Champions, winners of the Knock Out Cup and the Craven Shield in 2004. Despite their success, the club suffered further financial difficulties and just one year later it folded. Arrangement : The programmes are arranged chronologically by season. The gaps between 1949 and 1971, and 1981 and 1995 reflect the periods when the club was not in operation. Currently we do not hold programmes for the 1997 season but a series has been created should any be deposited at a later date. We do not hold any programmes between the 2001 and 2005 period.
