This is the White City Sports Stadium, which was situated opposite Bellahouston Park on Paisley Road West. Speedway made its debut there in June 1928 and continued until 1931 before closing halfway through that season. The track reopened on Saturday 6th May 1939 with 15,000 watching the Glasgow Lions taking on Newcastle in a challenge match. The season was curtailed by the outbreak of war and it was not until 1946 when, because of the Wembley Lions, the Glasgow team name was changed to the Glasgow Tigers. The post-war boom did not last forever and after the 1953 season the Glasgow promotion had to sell their top riders with the inevitable result. Speedway racing returned to White City in 1964 until the last ever fixture, the Glasgow Open Championship, at the end of September 1968. The spiritual home of the Glasgow Tigers was demolished a few years later during construction of the M8 motorway and is now the site of a police headquarters. This unique 1960's snapshot was taken by Norman Crawford.
