They were closed during the Second World War but upon their reopening in 1946 there were 42,000 people in attendance with an estimated 10,000 more locked outside. The club were very successful at the highest level of British speedway during the 1950s and 1960s, and attracted numerous famous riders. Having been defunct for eleven years, the team was reopened again in 2002 by Steve Ribbons & David Croucher in the Conference League[3] but were forced to close in 2005, with Ian Perkin, Dingle Brown & Perry Attwood being joint owners of the club, when the stadium owners insisted on dramatically increasing the rent paid by the team to the stadium.[4] HonoursNational LeagueChampions: 1954, 1955, 1956, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961 National TrophyWinners: 1938, 1950, 1951, 1953, 1956, 1959, 1960, 1962 KO Cup (formerly National League Trophy)Winners: 1968, 1969, 1970 London CupWinners: 1938, 1939, 1961, 1964, 1968, 1969, 1970, 1972, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1983, 1985 RAC CupWinners: 1954 Britannia ShieldWinner: 1959 Gauntlet Spring Gold CupWinners: 1979 Conference Pairs ChampionsWinners: 2004, 2005 Notable Wimbledon Riders{{col-begin}}{{col-2}}
