The 1946 Northern League was a season of speedway racing in the United Kingdom for Northern British teams in 1946. With a National League in place and no Southern counterpart, it was effectively a second tier. Four of the six entrants were previously members of National League Division Two before war broke out. Glasgow and Birmingham were new entrants. Middlesbrough Bears won their first trophy. On account of the small number of teams in the league the ACU Cup was run in a league format. Norwich Stars came out on top on points difference. 1946 Northern League Riders Averages images from the John Somerville Collection | |
