Leicester Hunters
The Leicester Hunters were a motorcycle speedway team which operated from 1948 until 1962.〔Bamford, R & Jarvis J. (2001) ''Homes of British Speedway'', ISBN 0-7524-2210-3, p. 147-149〕
==History==
Speedway had operated before the war at both Leicester Stadium and the Leicester Super track. Speedway was proposed to return to Leicester in 1948 at Leicester Stadium, led by A. D. Sanderson with Roy Dook and later Bob Peett managing the team, but concerns from local residents over noise levels delayed the return until the following year, with the newly formed team limited to away challenge matches in 1948.〔 To go with the team name, the riders wore hunting pink race bibs featuring a gold horseshoe.〔Jones, Alan (2004) ''Speedway in Leicester: The Hunters Era'', Automedia, p. 8〕 The Hunters joined the National League in Division 3. Former rider Cyril "Squib" Burton, who had been one of the top riders of the Leicester Stadium team in the early 1930s, took over as manager in 1950 and the team were promoted to division 2 at the end of the season.〔Hoare, Ron (1979) ''Speedway Panorama'', Haynes, ISBN 0-85429-252-7, p. 122〕 By 1957, the dwindling number of teams meant that the National League operated as a single division and the Hunters stayed in the top division until 1961, their best placing being as runners up in 1959.〔 Mike Parker then took over the club, and opted to join the Provincial League in 1962, finishing in 12th position.〔 This was to be the Hunters' final season, with the team transferring to Long Eaton for the 1963 season.〔
Speedway returned to Leicester Stadium for a period but the team were re-named Leicester Lions.
