I used to watch Halifax Dukes at the Shay when I wuz a kid. The first time I went, I made the mistake of standing at a corner where there seemed to be plenty of standing room - and ended up getting splattered with mud and cinders! Eric Boocock was king back then. The Shay was of course the home of Halifax Town Football Club, but no problem as the pitch corners were simply taken out for the speedway and relaid for the footie.
