In 1929, eight meetings were held at the 25 acres Aldershot Sports Stadium on Boxall's Lane. The first of these was held on Wednesday 3 July 1929. Although seven of the meetings were individual events there was one team fixture against
Southampton Saints. The stadium is known to have hosted speedway in 1931 but would later become a reservoir (known as Badshot Lea Little Pond). The date that the stadium was demolished is unknown. In 1950, speedway returned to Aldershot at the greyhound stadium known as
Aldershot Stadium. The track was completed by February 1950 and a team was entered for the
National League Division Three season, where the team finished the season in fifth place. In 1951, the finished slightly better in third place. The star of the 1950 and 1951 team was
Trevor Redmond while his fellow Kiwi
Geoff Mardon was also a star man. In 1952, the third division was replaced by the
Southern League and Aldershot finished 7th. In 1953, the stadium was used for open meetings. A team called the
California Poppies moved to Aldershot in 1957 and were renamed the Aldershot Poppies. The team competed in the
1957 Southern Area League, Aldershot reverted to the name Shots and had one more season of league racing in 1959. In 1960, after a short season of open meetings, the speedway track closed. == Notable riders ==
