Speedway was very popular at that time but has massively declined since. Kenny Carter was Halifax's top rider and a well known figure.The dirt track round the outside you can see was the speedway track, Halifax Dukes used to ride there mainly on a Saturday if I recall correctly.
Just enough time to count the empty seats!Fortunately it looks like the programme starts 15 mins before kick-off, so not much time to suffer

We can go as weak as possible and still realistically expect an overwhelming victory. Our EDS play against this level in whatever the papa johns/autowindshield trophy is called now.
