Paisley Lions were a motorcycle speedway team that participated in the British National League in 1975 and 1976.〔Bamford, R & Jarvis J.(2001). ''Homes of British Speedway''. ISBN 0-7524-2210-3〕 The team was based at Love Street in Paisley, Scotland, home of St Mirren F.C..〔Henry, J. & Moultray, I. (2001). ''Speedway in Scotland''. ISBN 0-7524-2229-4〕 The club's colours were red and gold with a Rampant Lion. The first meeting (during which the Lions raced against Birmingham Brummies) was held on 5 April 1975 in front of a crowd of over six thousand people.〔 Sid Sheldrick led the parade on the first meet leading a lion cub called Leo on a chain.〔http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/sheldrick-heart-lion-2571541〕 The team did not enjoy a great deal of success and, despite a brave effort by their supporters at the end of the 1976 season, the final meeting was held on 25 September 1976 when the Lions beat Boston 52-25.〔 ==Notable riders== *Sid Sheldrick *Mick Sheldrick *Alan Bridgett *Mike Fullerton *Colin Caffrey *Stuart Mountford. *Bernie Foot *Tommy Davie 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paisley Lions」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
