An injunctionwas made to block the venture but was overruled. The first night is rained off but the following evening, an open meeting is staged and won by Ron Johnson. Riders in the Coventry side included Lew Lancaster, Jack and Norman Parker, Tom Farndon, Wimot Evans and George Allbrook. Two defeats by Coventry and a Home defeat by West Ham were followed by a draw. Then on May 21st, Exeter beat the famous Wembley Lions 39-15.
Crowds start to grow again and ladies events are staged.
The Exeter Open Championship, which had been rained off in September, was restaged on Saturday, 11th October, but was a big dissapointment as seven of the top billed riders failed to materialise and fails to produce the kind of racing expected. Several injuries during the meeting didn't help the meeting which was finally won by Ron Johnson who beat Phil Bishop and collected the 50 prize money. After the problems encountered in 1930, the Exeter fans were delighted when Fred Mockford decides to continue Speedway at Exeter. Exeter could not have faced tougher opposition in what was to be their first official team fixture. High Beech, then racing in the Southern League, come to Exeter in the Daily Mail Nation Cup and win by 34-59.
