daveallan81 330 Posted November 13, 2017 I got 9. I would have got more but the questions came too fast to post queries on here Got me thinking though, what would your chosen area of the sport be if you were to give it a go? I think I'd need to stick to Glasgow, or a more general 1970 to 95 at a push. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,984 Posted November 13, 2017 I didn't know the Fleetwood and even worse i guess, New Cross answers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chunky 6,092 Posted November 13, 2017 I didn't know the Fleetwood and even worse i guess, New Cross answersThose were the two that got me! What really p*ssed me off was the fact that I have only recently read norbold's "Speedway in London", and should have known the New Cross one... I'm so dreadfully embarrassed!

norbold 7,109 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I didn't know the Fleetwood and even worse i guess, New Cross answersYou didn't get the New Cross answer!!! In answer to Dave's question, I would go for either British Speedway from 1945 - 1965; The History of New Cross or the life of Tom Farndon. It would be interesting to know what reference books they would go to to compile the questions for the last two.......

iris123 20,984 Posted November 13, 2017 One subject i am terrible on is League Champions.1965 and 1973 are about my lot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Flag 454 Posted November 13, 2017 I got 11 and was pleased with that, pre 65 and I'm struggling although a few were obvious, BL 65 onwards for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,953 Posted November 13, 2017 (edited) I got 15 - not bad for someone born in 1973. I guessed Liverpool for the Fleetwood one, although I suspected it was wrong anyway, because the years didn't seem to fit. I DID get New Cross... I know all the top division league champions off by heart since 1929 All the best Rob Edited November 13, 2017 by lucifer sam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steve roberts 9,246 Posted November 13, 2017 Oxford Speedway 1972 - 1992 would be my choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obviously, anything to do with the Dons, but Individual World Finals and the British League 1965-1990 would also be good for me... Steve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruno 1,790 Posted November 13, 2017 I'm impressed with the memories of some of you, I could have my subject as my life and I still wouldn't get as many as 15!!!!!!!! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

norbold 7,109 Posted November 14, 2017 Although World Finals 1936-1994 would work as well. All the best Rob Who came 12th in the 1952 World Final? (No looking up!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucifer sam 3,953 Posted November 14, 2017 Who came 12th in the 1952 World Final? (No looking up!) Well it wasn't Jack Young, Freddie Williams or Bob Oakley. I guess it would be a fairly well-known name, someone like Ronnie Moore (although I think he would have been higher - I know he finished 4th in 1951), Split Waterman or Arthur Forrest, rather than a one-off finalist. I'll guess Arthur Forrest. And two can play it this game Norbold - who finished 10th in 1986? All the best Rob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
