Grachan 7,352 Posted March 25, 2003 Can anyone give me an idea of what teams were in the second division (or whatever it was called then) in 1987 and some of the riders from each team if they can think of any? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shoddy 1 Posted March 25, 2003 The National League was made up of : Arena Essex Canterbury Edinburgh Long Eaton Mildenhall Berwick Newcastle Eastbourne Exeter Middlesborough Milton Keynes Peterborough Poole Stoke Rye House Wimbledon No idea what the order was?

stevehone 3,427 Posted March 26, 2003 if they are not posted by about 6pm, i will stick them on as i have the yearbook also. you're doing this to get an idea of what video's to order eh, Grachan??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grachan 7,352 Posted March 26, 2003 How transparent I am!! At the moment Arena Essex and Eastbourne look the most attractive options, though I have to pick 3 consecutive meetings so if they're not on the same tape I may have to make a BIG decision. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevehone 3,427 Posted March 26, 2003 i have some '87 programs at home so will have a look at the fixtures to see what 3 meetings together would be the best option. i'll post just after 6pm this evening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
