There was talk a couple of times about speedway at Charlton greyhound stadium but nothing came of them. I think Len Silver was keen on the place at one time. The nearest we ever got to speedway was midget car racing round the football pitch at Floyd Road in 1948. I think most of the drivers were Americans. They staged a one-off meeting.

There was a 52,000 crowd for the midget car meeting. Probably more than Charlton got for there football matches? The Charlton-Woolwich area would have been ideal for a speedway team.
