Aldershot has had 2 homes. Aldershot
sports stadium Boxall's Lane and Aldershot Stadium Tongham. This
webpage is
concerned with Aldershot Stadium Oxenden Road, Tongham, Nr Farnham, Hampshire,
as I do not have anything to post for the Boxall Lane venture.
If you can supply me with some evidence of the Aldershot Boxhall
Lane track, I will happily create another page. The Tongham track saw action between 1950 and 1960

| John says: A little bit of info
has been received, for the earlier track, so I have started a page for it in
the A-Z |

Hi John, I ( Ken Mellor) was signed by
Aldershot in 1959 having spent the 1958 season in France with the likes
of Ray Day, Tommy Roper, George Bason, Geoff Harris etc;
Most of my highs and lows
can be found on my rider profile on the World Speedway Riders website {VSRA},
which you have my OK to crib. Mid 1960 I was transferred to Southampton,
but was out of my league. Like going from Scunthorpe Utd. to Manchester
Utd. Now 75 I'm still active on 2-wheels in vintage events and usually
notch up around 3000 miles a year. For the record, the date of the photo
is 18 June, 1960. I`m on the outside, Ted Spittles middle and Dennis Day
inside. It was a rerun heat and I finished first {honest}! Kind regards
Ken
