Coventry
Speedway
|
| Brandon Stadium |
| |
Coventry International Motor Speedway,
Rugby Road, Brandon, Nr Coventry Warwickshire.
Coventry had always been a successful club. Action began in
Brandon Stadium in 1928. There were a couple of hiccups in
their operations but, the venue became one of the mainstays of
British Speedway. Staging many important fixtures most
professionally, over the years. I think we all would like to
see Coventry back in action in whatever tier of racing they have
to compete in. Any speedway is better than no speedway, is
it not? |
