Still need the info. and the programmes if anyone can help....please.
-
Simon, I have just noticed the same thing happened in 2001......7/10/2001...I have this programme but it was rerun on the 21/10/2001...did they use the same programme or was another produced? If they produced another I need that one also.
-
Thank You very much....you could be my HERO if you have spare.
-
Interesting that so far most have said Norwich......I too would have liked to have seen racing there but it was rained off when I went BUT...and this is a big one....I did have the pleasure of meeting Peter Craven and talking to him for quite a while with my parents......will always be in my mind that one.
-
Dean, I too have requested info about Carmarthen but I put it under Conference League....guess I should have put it here. Here is my question to you, on March 23, 2003 you rode for the England team against Wales in the 12 heat second half.Would you by any chance know the the result and scorers. This has been very difficult to obtain.
-
Can't answer that one......but I have a sneaking suspicion that "Norbold" may know something about it. Over to you Norbold.
-
Yes that is quite true as I do have the programme...it was billed as the "Worlds Championship Final" and took place on March 4, 1933. It was won by Harry Whitfield (England) with 9 points from 9...Harry won the qualifier at Perth...also riding were Bluey Wilkinson won won the qualifier at Paris, Billy Lamont who was second in Paris, Dick Smythe who was first in Adelaide, Jack Chapman who won the Melbourne round, Jack Ormston who won Sydney and Lionel Van Praag who was second in Sydney. After the "Worlds championship Final" was a match between New South Wales & The Rest

Referee Needs To Go To Specsavers
andout replied to sirmattyisbac's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
I see that all the comments made, including mine, are now up on the FIM Guestbook webpage but after reading Rob_B's comments it looks like nothing wil be done about this Ref...he was absolutely right in all his decisions and the 45,000 plus and thousands who watched on the Internet and TV are all completely WRONG!!! Enjoy Latvia & Germany people!!!! -
Referee Needs To Go To Specsavers
andout replied to sirmattyisbac's topic in Speedway Grand Prix and Speedway World Cup
You are right....I did not check to see if my post was indeed posted....my guess is they will run them up after checking them first and since I was not too kind to one of their referee's it probably won't go on. The FIM is still the place to go though, since they are totally responsible for assigning referee's. -

Found a place where you can send comments to the FIM....I have already done so and I suggest others do. http://www.fim.ch/en/guestBook.asp?item=57 This is the FIM guestbook.....they don't seem to have an email address....wonder why? -
Individual Speedway Wc Qr 4 Lonigo (italy) 21th June 2008
andout replied to mauro2107's topic in International World of Speedway
NEVER count Kyle out of anything....he is one gutsy rider....and if I know Kyle he will putting EVERYTHING into this and I will not be surprised if he gets through. Too bad though, this seems to be the MOST difficult round!!! -
Bob Andrews - Canadian.......But don't confuse this Bob with the New Zealander....two different riders.
-
Got me worried so I phoned Mike....he is definitely alive but not in great health....I have sent you a PM.
-
Yes, Mike is still alive and living in Toronto......I have not been in contact for a while but our intention is to visit him soon. I understand he is not in the best of health. It will be VERY unlikely that Mike would travel England for a reunion. I will post a note when we have some contact with him.
-
Yes, you are right Bob did live in Sterling...he now lives in Trenton.
-
Hey Bob, Don't think Bob Fisher would appreciate being classed as "Passed Away"....in actual fact I had an email from him yesterday...he still visits Paris on occasions and still very interested in our great sport. Mike Tams is also still alive..for sure......though I don't know about Dave Dodd
-
Someone has finally come up with what I had asked in the second posting of this thread.....What was the song played at the end of each meeting? And yes indeed it was We'll meet again by The Dame!! Everyone remember?
-
Tommy is long gone I'm afraid.
-
Have to agree with you on this one....apart from me also being a West Ham fan at the time, I have never seen racing like this....it was absolutely electric...
-
Since I remember "Marching along together" it must have been in 59/60/61...but what was the song always played when you were leaving...should not be too difficult...very well known!
-
YEP!! Can't argue with that!!!
-
If norbold doesn't iris I do...although once again it was filled in by my young hand.
-
Better get Speedway star...in my programme Reg rides at number 6....I was there and yes I filled in my own programme but I was a kid at that time so I could have made some mistakes but that would probably have been the last mistake I ever made...LOL Yes it was Ron sharp

Ahhhh yes, I too remember him in those years norbold....absolutely fantastic to watch around Custom House. I was also lucky enough to see the 66 World final....oooo so close...all over in ONE race if memory serves me right...Briggs, Harrfeldt, Woryna all met in the one race and they all were not beaten by anyone else! Not forgetting the un-mistakable riding STYLE he had.
