norbold 7,101 Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) I've just started a New Cross page on http://community.webshots.com/user/norbold Hope to add more as time goes on. Well, I've got to do something while I'm off with my wisdom tooth...or, rather, without my wisdom tooth! Any other teams anyone would like?

iris123 20,939 Posted March 26, 2004 Crystal Palace? Done. Thanks Norbold.Magic Any ideas on the race jackets that Shep Shepherd and Tom Farndon are wearing.Sheps seems to be a plain jacket with nothing on it.Is Toms anything to do with the Star Riders?. Agree with newxranger the aerial view is super.Unfortunately for me it only brings back memories of the Den though.By the time i started supporting the Lions there wasnt much left of the speedway stadium .But i have stood on whats left of the terraces and wondered Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,314 Posted March 26, 2004 Ah, Billy Hole, my mother's hero. Funny there should be two pictures of Geoff Pymar, as he's featured in the one race I have from Knowle Stadium - See Here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
norbold 7,101 Posted March 26, 2004 (edited) OK, just for you, newxranger, I've added that well known Belle Vue rider who guested for New Cross in 1959 to my album..... Good bit of vintage film there Grachan. Thanks for that. The commentator is wrong about Geoff Pymar's first appearance on a speedway track by the way. He first rode at Norwich in 1930 not 1933. I think the star was Crystal Palace's colours, iris. A lot of old photographs show riders (from many teams) with just plain body colours. I don't really know why that was. Perhaps someone can help out here? Edited March 26, 2004 by norbold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Norbold that is truly a wonderful sight Peter Craven in a NX jacket. Could it not have been taken on Wedenesday September the 23rd. 1959 when he won the Tom Farndon memorial trophy with a 15 point maximum though, and not when he was riding for them in a match? Could you not have somemore teeth out and do a lot more NewX pictures though please Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
