Birmingham Bulldogs (speedway)

Birmingham Bulldogs also known as the Hall Green Bulldogs were a British motorcycle speedway team who operated between 1929 and 1938 and were based at Hall Green Stadium in Birmingham, England.

[1] In 1928, a company called International Speedways Ltd introduced the sport at Hall Green Stadium, just one year after it was constructed and opened as a greyhound track.

[4] Johnny Lloyd was the first star rider and actually topped the league averages in 1929.

[5] However, the speedway was subject to a takeover from Motordromes Ltd (who owned Brandon Stadium) in June 1929 and the team were withdrawn from the 1929 Speedway Southern League, having their record expunged, although other meetings continued at the track afterwards.

[6] The following season in 1930, the Hall Green Bulldogs returned and led by Billy Dallison they competed in the 1930 Speedway Southern League finishing fifth.
