Leicester Stadium

Leicester Stadium was a sports stadium on Parker Drive in Leicester which opened in 1923. It was demolished in 1984 after the land was sold to Barratt Homes. The stadium was initially used for greyhound racing with motorcycle speedway starting there five years later. It was also a venue for BriSCA Formula 1 Stock Cars.
==History==
Built in 1923, the stadium (often referred to as Blackbird Road) initially staged greyhound racing.〔Bamford, Robert & Jarvis, John (2001) ''Homes of British Speedway'', Tempus, ISBN 0-7524-2210-3, p. 147-9〕 The increasing popularity of speedway (or dirt-track racing as it was then known) led to a track being constructed inside the dog track at a cost of 30,000, and the stadium first staged a speedway meeting on 6 September 1928, with sidecar racing also staged that year.〔〔Jones, Alan (2010) ''Speedway in Leicester: The Pre-War Years'', Automedia, p. 10〕 The stadium lent its name to the speedway team, known as 'Leicester Stadium', which competed in the English Dirt Track League in 1929 and the Southern League from 1930.〔 The speedway track was relaid before the 1932 season, but speedway only operated intermittently in the years that followed. Speedway returned to the stadium in 1949 with the Leicester Hunters who continued there until 1962, after which the speedway promotion of the day moved to Long Eaton due to low attendances.〔 A few meetings were staged in 1963, including the 'Pride of the Midlands' individual competition won by Ove Fundin, but regular speedway did not return until 1968 when the Long Eaton operation transferred to Leicester, beginning the first era of the Leicester Lions. After the end of the 1983 season, the stadium site was sold to Barratt Homes for housing, and while greyhound and stock car racing continued into 1984, the speedway operation was closed down.〔
