Southampton Saints were a Speedway team which operated from 1928 until their closure in 1963. Their track was located at Banister Court Stadium in Southampton, Hampshire.
Southampton were one of the founder members of the first speedway league in 1929 and had the honour of being the first ever club to race a league meeting. Southampton were National League runners up in 1961 and National League Champions in 1962. The club closed in 1963 when the Promoter, Charles Knott, decided to sell the stadium.[1] [2]
