Hayley Stadium was a purpose-built motorcycle speedway located at Queensway Meadows on the eastern side of Newport, Wales. The stadium was 311 yards (284 m) long, and home to the Newport Wasps speedway team.[1] In March 2010 the Wasps engaged a minister to lift a gypsy curse on the stadium.[2] In 2012, the Wasps folded, and within a week of closure, the offices in the main stand sustained fire damage; Hayley Stadium was subsequently demolished.[3]
