Won by Jack Young who showed how he must have been 10 years earlier when he was arguably the greatest rider in the world. Still got my programme. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cityrebel 2,960 Posted April 22, 2019 The last era of New Cross progs are worth about £2 tops. They must have printed loads at the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Having built and maintained my own websites in the past I probably appreciate more than most the (much) time & work which goes into them, which I admit are the main reasons I don't bother anymore. Glad the info I viewed has been ammended and as I said, it's still a great site and one to regularly dip into from time to time.... . . . or even amended Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Programmes like all other things in life have a value - what that value is wholly depends on what someone is willing to pay for an item e.g. 45,000 Cardiff GP programmes from say 2010 they may not have an high value but is no-one is willing to sell their copy then anyone wishing to sell theirs will receive an higher price than it is worth just for the fact that it may be the only copy of this programme for sale and someone wants a copy of their own. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
customhouseregular 1,651 Posted April 24, 2019 Apart from the league meetings in the short-lived revival I saw every meeting held at Wembley between 1965 and 1981. Great times they were too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great times they were too. You got me beat there, but I went to the World Finals in 69, 78, and 81, the 66 European Final, and the WTC Final in 70. The old Wembley really had such a magical feel to it... Steve 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
