1979The Ellesmere Port Gunners were a Speedway team in
Wirral ,England , which operated from 1972 until their closure in 1985. [Bamford, R & Jarvis J.(2001). "Homes of British Speedway". ISBN 0-7524-2210-3]The team operated from 1972 until 1982 continuously. The club was resurrected for one season in 1985 and went on to win the National League Championship. However speedway has not been hosted there since as the local council, the stadium owners, are not willing to have the sport back. The speedway track has now been replaced by a sand
greyhound racing track.References
