Hull Vikings

Hull Vikings, were a speedway team from Hull, England. The team began life as the 'Hull Angels', based at Hedon on the outskirts of Hull between 1947 and mid 1949. Speedway came back to Hull after a long gap and were known as the Vikings, racing at The Boulevard, the former ground of rugby league side Hull. After another long number of years away, speedway came back to Hull, this time at Craven Park, the home of the city's other rugby league team, Hull Kingston Rovers, where the speedway track ran inside of the greyhound dog racing track.

Although the Vikings have raced in speedway's top flight, the Elite League in 1999, it was in the Premier League where they enjoyed the most success, racing to the treble in 2004.

By becoming Premier League Champions, holders of the Knock-Out Cup and the Craven Shield, the team became the most successful sporting team in Hull's history, in terms of silverware.

However just one year later, in 2005, the club was forced to close its doors due to a spate of crippling financial problems. Although potential new owners have been mooted, the team remains homeless.
