When the first meeting was held here on 2 June 1928, the Stadium stood in open country, the nearest houses being a few in Old Shoreham Road, near Leighton Road. In that summer the centre was left in a rough condition and was not laid out as a field for Rugby football until 1929.
Speedway, or dirt track racing as it was called, was tried out in 1929/1930, but was not a success. Note the primitive original stand and the uncovered East side
