Yes no doubt that pic of Speedway is our Celtic Park GR Was in the mitch looking up Parkhead today and was handed the Jim Henry book that Andy67 quoted, i only browsed it and took a few notes, should have researched online but decided to post my comments on KDS, that will teach me, i cannot argue with the Celtic Historians but the more i read about Celtic Park Speedway the more confused i get, 2 Stadiums in Janefield Street and both holding Speedway Racing round about the same time, looks like Celtic jumped on the bandwagon and held 12 speedway meetings in a short space of time although i find this quote very confusing,
Looks like they called the 2 stadiums Celtic Park? i have copied a few pics of programmes from the Glasgow Nelson meeting and according to the dates they were the first to hold speedyway in Scotland, the source for this info is: http://urbanglasgow.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=2308&start=0 Glasgow Nelson - Individual 9/4/1928 : First ever meeting Held in Scotland ![]() ![]() Glasgow Celtic Park - Individual 15/5/1928 ![]() Below is some information i found on the t"internet about speedway at our Celtic Park: apologise to JBC and Glasgow Road The stadium at one time featured a concrete track round the playing pitch used for various events including a demonstration of motorcycle time trials in 1910. In 1928 the stadium staged 12 speedway meetings between the end of April and late July. A demonstration event was staged at half time in an Old Firm derby in May. The promotion, Dirt Track Speedways, staged the first charity speedway meeting in the UK raising funds for a new St Andrews Ambulance HQ. Edited by four-leaf-clover, 24 Mar 2011, 11:25 PM.

That speedway pic at CP is at the Rangers End, not the Celtic End.

PS there was another ground right beside CP which is seen in ariel maps from the 20s i think it is. It was where there became a traingular patterned set of houses. Think the ground was described as a "trotting ground". |

The first Glasgow speedway was held at the Nelson/Olympic Stadium, the first 'professional' speedway was held at Celtic Park

The trotting ground is the same Olympic renamed to the Nelson ground to the direct west of CP.

It always amazed me that the locals would leave their cars parked on Janefield St after games.they were the main reason the crushing was so bad. |
