speedboy 19 Posted January 5, 2017 I am trying to find the dates and results for the Anglia league (junior) involving Mildenhall from the 1985 season I understand Arena Essex, Birmingham, Eastbourne, Ipswich, Long Eaton, Peterborough, Stoke and Wimbledon were the teams who took part Thanks in advance if anyone can help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pine490 15 Posted January 26, 2017 Hi, There seems to be a dearth of information on the AJL in general. All I know regarding 1985 is that the league was won by Wimbledon, with Long Eaton and Peterborough second and third respectively. I have a number of programmes from around that time that may give some more information. If so, I will let you know.

Nodlew 15 Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) As David says there is very little readily available information about the 1985 Anglia Junior League. The Speedway Star included very little AJL information that year. The Long Eaton programme of 25 September 1985 had the following league table: Long Eaton 14 9 2 3 20 Wimbledon 12 9 1 2 19 Peterborough 13 7 0 6 14 Mildenhall 11 2 1 8 5 Stoke 10 0 2 8 2 In earlier Long Eaton programmes, AJL fixtures were shown against Arena Essex, but these were subsequently removed prior to Long Eaton racing them. The limited information I have been able to find about the Mildenhall fixtures is as follows: From the fixture list in Long Eaton programme of 2 October. 1 May – Long Eaton 16 Mildenhall 7 12 May – Mildenhall 12 Long Eaton 12 3 July – Long Eaton 18 Mildenhall 6 11 August – Mildenhall 11 Long Eaton 12 From Speedway Star 26 July – Peterborough 18 Mildenhall 6 Regards.
