steve roberts 9,246 Posted November 7, 2016 Would love to see that 79 WTC final, nz speedway's finest hour. If any consolation I was there and it was dramatic, if rather drawn out, meeting. I felt that New Zealand were fortunate in the Qualifying Round at Reading as it had become very much of a lottery due to awful conditions but fully deserved their final win.

steve roberts 9,246 Posted November 15, 2016 Just watched the last meeting at Wimbledon (not counting the latter days Junior matches held on a very different sized track) which featured teams from Wimbledon, Reading, Poole & Swindon. Unfortunately the weather was abysmal and the meeting had to be abandoned. John Davis, when interviewed, was very scathing of the GRA...too right too!

packerman 160 Posted November 17, 2016 The last Videos of speedway I owned would be from the Guys that did Wimbledon & Arena Essex in the 1980's. One would be a 4TT of Poole, Exeter & Eastbourne at Wimbledon. Wimbledon v Poole from around 1989 I think Wimbledon v Peterborough the same season. I also had Arena Essex v Poole. These were great quality but I leant them to someone but sadly they have now been lost Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gemini 4,894 Posted November 17, 2016 These were great quality but I leant them to someone but sadly they have now been lost. That's so annoying. I hate lending things for that very reason, whether it's books or DVD's. I'm very possessive of things I own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve roberts 9,246 Posted November 19, 2016 Watched last night a Junior meeting from 1987 between Oxford and Hackney at Cowley featuring a young Mark Loram...in which Oxford's Jon Surman took him from the back! Brilliant! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hobnob Smith 77 Posted November 19, 2016 love to find the 1979 wtc qualifier from rain soaked Reading I was there and that was wet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve roberts 9,246 Posted November 19, 2016 (edited) love to find the 1979 wtc qualifier from rain soaked Reading I was there and that was wet Check out the Classic Speedway DVD site run by Jan Staechmann. I'm sure that he has a copy. Last night watched a 1990 British League encounter between Coventry and Oxford at Brandon in which Oxford won in the last heat. Great stuff but can't stand that Colin Martin's commentary...babbling on constantly! Edited November 20, 2016 by steve roberts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
