great video bring's back many happy memories for me when I was a young lad. me and my dad went to many stock car meetings there during the 1970's before we moved to canada. it'a a shame on what happened to the stadium but that's what happens when the council doesnt look after things and goes into wreck and ruin. do you have the rest of this special if so could you please post it.
Hi. Glad this was of such interest to you. I posted it as I knew people would appreciate it. Unfortunately this is the only footage I have and don't know what it's origin is.
Thank you Russ for replying, I do appreciate it very much, Manchester has changed a lot since I last went home in 1980. White city stadium was still going at that time and thought they would fix it up and keep it going, but like i said no one wants to spend the money to do it they Just tear it down and forget what it means to some people. anyhow thanks again for posting I have it in my favorites now.
Interesting video, thanks. I suppose that White City and the late, lamented Belle Vue must have been in competition for the entertainment of the great Mancunian public ? I live in Copenhagen these days and the Tivoli Gardens here is probably similar in concept to both of these places in their heyday.
I live around the corner from White City and its a shame all that's there now is a bunch of shops and not places like this.

Very sad to see this great track in such a way. Had many a good night there watching greyhounds. Excellent track.
