BL65 656 Posted July 10, 2022 48 minutes ago, chunky said: Aye, that's where I used to get my results! I also used to tune in to Radio Luxembourg for the results. BBC2 used to give speedway results on Saturdays at around 10.00 p.m., during June, July and early August in 1966 on ‘The Sports Scene’. This was a 35-minute programme, with David Vine reporting and commenting on the day's outstanding stories. The programme replaced Match of the Day when the football season ended, but sadly only survived until the start of the next football season. At that time BBC1 occasionally showed speedway, for example during Grandstand on Saturday 20th August 1966 there were highlights at 1.55 p.m. of the previous night's Welsh Championship at Newport, ‘featuring such international riders as Barry Briggs, Nigel Boocock, Gote Nordin, and Olle Nygren.’ This was actually a second half event following the Newport match against Wimbledon. There were three heats, two semi-finals and a final, which Nordin won from Jon Erskine and Boocock. Briggs had machine trouble in the final. Ivan Mauger also took part but failed to reach the semi-finals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Must admit, I'd never seen that one before. What I will say is that - and I know there will be those who disagree - but I LOVE the layout and appearance of the site. For me, staistical websites have no need to be fancy or confusing, and this is so easy to navigate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uk_martin 1,606 Posted July 22, 2022 Seems that Speedway Star's symbiotic relationship with the BSPZzz has been highlighted again, as shown by the withdrawal of the Isle of White (seen as the antichrist by the BSPZzz) fixtures from their publication. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure where they get the "up to 5 seconds from". If the same 5 seconds was used at the starting tapes, be a few burnt out clutches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
