BTW I am certain that in this 1950s time era Eastbourne were only in the Southern Area League - no foreign riders allowed there!

Was an interesting encounter I’m told... I wonder who that claimant was? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Like I've stated in this thread, the person in question was an interesting character, said he was the first and Eastbourne was mentioned. His other stories have checked out ok, so we have actually no reason to suspect he's lying on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) I have checked details re the 1953 season (just one match at Aldershot recorded on Speedway Researcher) and in the 1954 Southern Area League season. All the riders named for Eastbourne were/are known to me. No Finnish rider named for any Eagles team - as previously mentioned a couple of meetings had Dave Yianarri in the side.
