I think that the West Ham Stadium would have been bigger than the OS. Certainly a larger (albeit standing) capacity and I believe that the track was longer than the 400m one at the OS.

Always seemed huge when I watched The Hammers in the late 60’s early 70’s.

Bravo Steve - that’s an astonishing photo.

And isn’t the ARP (I assume that’s what he is) lad standing on the part of the stand that was actually bombed?

Lovely photos all of them. Might sound silly but it breaks my heart to look at the old Boleyn ones.

From Wiki
The [speedway] track was the largest in Great Britain with a circumference of 562 yards [514 m] and 123 yard straights

G'day Steve. Jack Burkett came into my mate's shop in Perth CBD last week. Mate told him what a West Ham nut I was and he said to say hello, was gutted I wasn't there as I would have loved to have a chat. I remember Bobby saying it was like winning the cup with your school team (ECWC) and of course Jack has a medal. Good old days indeed. Magic thread mate. :crest:
