My wife goes daily to buy a local newspaper. There is no-one who delivers it so it's the only option.

Given tonight's announcement, I would suggest she does as we do here, and read her paper online.

She doesn't do online. She has just learnt to text though so there is hope.

Can't remember the reason behind it however...so you missed Swindon's victory at Wood Lane in 1976? Dag was blighted with engine problems I recall.

I could never understand why Dag was not suited to the White City track maybe his interest in the sport was on the wane..A top class rider for Reading, Hackney,Oxford geniune world class he retired far to early.Along  with Harrefeldt,  Eide, Holta he has to be in the top four Norwegian's i  had the pleasure to see ride.

He stayed loyal to the JAP engine and it didn't suit Wood Lane and he was badly effected by a crash he had with Trevor Hedge...personally Sid I think after getting his dream wish joining Oxford he felt dis-heartened having to up-sticks again. However I will always remember him scoring an immaculate 15 point maximun at Swindon in atrocious conditions during the Mike Keen Testimonial Meeting in 1976.

Personally i would have Edgar Stangeland , Odd Fossengen, Lars Gunnestad, Oyvind Berg, in a group behind the four named.

I was there for his 15 point maximum at the  Keener testimonial meeting, how that meeting took place is beyond me it hammered down all day

Oyvind was a favourite of mine when he rode for Oxford in 1972. I also saw the last race Odd Fossegen rode at Cowley (1974) when he received a very badly broken leg after a first bend coming together.

Very underrated was Oyvind  i often think he gets forgotten  he was very popular at Oxford along with the likes of Pander, Genz, Mckinlay, Timmo, Strachan( etc).
