    Someone mentioned that Tony Armstrong lives in Canada-I can confirm that.He married Stan Bradbury's daughter-last I heard they were living in Edmonton, Alberta

    You are absolutely correct BOBBATH...they are still living in Edmonton and just for the record Stan Bradbury was honoured at the Paris Track (in Ontario) this past season with a celebration of his 80th Birthday.

    Not sure if this is the correct place to put this but I'm sure this is of interest to NP fans.....

     

    PRESS RELEASE - COMMUNIQUE DE PRESSE

    Mies, December 21/le 21 décembre 2006

    International Tribunal of Appeal

    Case of Speedway rider Nicki Pedersen

    Tribunal International d’Appel

    Cas du pilote de Speedway Nicki Pedersen

    The International Tribunal of Appeal (TIA) convened on December 19 at the FIM headquarters in Mies,

    Switzerland, in a public hearing in order to judge the appeal lodged by Danish rider Nicki Pedersen, team

    manager Jan Staechmann and the Danmarks Motor Union (DMU) against the decision of the International

    Disciplinary Court (CDI) taken on September 18, concerning the offence of bad behaviour of Nicki Pedersen

    against Speedway Grand Prix Race Director Ole Olsen during the Speedway World Cup event held in

    Reading, Great Britain, on July 22.

    Present at the hearing were Mr Santiago Puig y Viladomiu, TIA President, Wojciech Tomczyk and Gianluca

    d’Aloja, judges, Nicki Pedersen, Jan Staechmann and the DMU President Henrik Norgaard, as well as Ole

    Olsen, FIM CEO Guy Maitre and FIM Legal adviser Robert Hofstetter.

    The TIA confirmed partially the sanction pronounced by the CDI in its decision of September 18:

    Nicki Pedersen is penalised with a fine of CHF 2.000 and a suspension of six months beginning on 1st April

    2007 and with respite for a probationary period from 1st April to 1st October 2007, verdict to be executed in

    case of further offence of bad behaviour.

    Jan Staechmann was given a warning for not acting in order to stop the incident.

    In a new ruling, the costs of the procedure are to be borne by Nicki Pedersen and Jan Staechmann: each

    one must pay half part of the procedure costs of both instances.

    The full text of the decision will be published within a few days. An appeal may be lodged against this

    decision to the CAS within 5 days following the written notification.

    I don't think that he was an American.

    Yep...he was an American......watched him a few times at Owego, NY before he went to England, sorry Scotland. I may not be right when I say this so don't quote me but I think he did have patronage somewhere along the line.

    Can't figure this one out though....Ivan actually rode for England against Scotland at Edinburgh in 1981 scoring 11 points & 1982.

    I think Ivan was from Philadelphia.

    Yes, I am fully aware of that one....it was the one on eBay that I lost when my damn ISP went down.....already tried very hard to buy it from him but to no avail. and since he ONLY wants to swap I am outaluck!

    Since I don't have any of his wants...too bad for me.....but keep looking out for me, I really do appreciate it....there has just got to be more out there!!

    There are other programmes missing from collections dure to none being sold after a rain off but instead sent back to the printers and pulped.

    The most famous one of course is the 1939 World Final programme....printed....cancelled because of the war...sent back to the printers and pulped...aaaarrrgghhh.

    So the same could have happened to the Poole 58 and the New Cross 38 BUT still the question is DO WE KNOW FOR SURE?

    This, I'm afraid may be your quest for the holy Grail!

     

    I would have thought with all your contacts already in place that this question should have been answered! ( I'm sure in your advanced years you did not miss doing this! LOL surely the old programme collectors brigade must have some info on this.)

     

    As the meeting was to have taken place and being a rain out programmes should have been printed. Most tracks I'm sure sold off these programmes to offset costs.

     

    I answer your question with a question.

     

    Were all the series programmes printed by the same press or were the local tracks to do their own? Are the company who printed the Poole programmes of the era still in business and I wonder if the Poole track has any records of this meeting or were they destroyed or lost years ago.

     

    A strange one indeed....

     

    p.s. I can't wait to see this one once you get it!.....If it comes up on e bay be prepared to remorgage the house!

    Advanced years???? What is this nasty stuff you saying about your EX-friend.

    To answer your question, no it was not like part of the '70's & '80's where they had the same programme, each track produced their own.

    Records are there for this meeting.....just a "Rained off" meeting.

    Nobody seems to have this programme and some of the "BIG" collectors, this is still on their "wants" list.

    This programme is probably like the other one I don't know about FOR SURE and that is the 1938 Programme, meeting number 136 Eng & aus v US & Canada at New Cross....this one was cancelled because of an "Air Raid Practise".....how do you practise an Air Raid? So if anyone out there in collectorland knows about either programme PLEASE tell me and put me out of my misery.

    But of course, tigertom, you are rightabout one thing....I may indeed have to mortgage the house if this came up on eBay....

    Yes, you're quite right, andout. The fourth Test match was due to take place on 13 August at Poole but was rained off. Sorry to have doubted you. :wink:

     

    Presumably there were programmes already to go. But what happened to them...?

     

    p.s. As you have nearly every International programme in England can you help falcace's request on the Classic Meetings thread please:

     

    "Dear all,

     

    For a book I'm cuurently help to put together along with fellow Forumer Norbold, I would like to get my hands on the following programmes. If any you can help please e-mail me. Naturally, I'll be willing to pay a fair price.

     

    Alternatively, a scan of the front cover of any of the programmes below e-mailed to me would suffice and be very gratefully recieved 

     

    1973 - Daily Mirrror International Tournament Final - England v Sweden

    1976 - Intercontinental Final

    1979 - BLRC

    1980 - England v USA, Wimbledon

    1980 - Halifax v Hackney, British League

    1981 - World Final

    1983 - England v USA, Sheffield

    1993 - Wolves v Belle Vue, Division 1

    1999 - Polish Grand Prix, Bydgoszcz

    2004 - World Cup Final

     

    Thanks "

    Now back onto the topic at hand since I think I have taken care of "norbolds" wants....I still need the question answered definitively.....someone out there must know if a programme exists....or is everyone who collects internationals still looking for this one? Where are all the Poole programme collectors?

  13. Posted

    Now you say it Norbold I can't picture anyone in the pre-war years wearing a yellow and black helmet colour, all very ad hoc in those days of course. The black and yellow halves were from the 1940s to 1956 when the quadrant came in then I guess. The Swedes used plain yellow and a black cross on yellow too.

     

    Ah Speedway trivia, you can't beat it to pass the time.

    I seem to remember somewhere in the back of my brain that the Yellow / Black helmet had something to do with TV coverage....but I cannot think of it now...maybe I will have prodded someone else by this post.

    Ditto, Kevin.

     

    Thanks and yes you are right....However, if you have a copy of the Belle Vue programme for 20/08/58' "Fifth" test match is crossed out and "Fourth" test match has been added. On page three of the same programme there is a sentence "It was unfortunate that the Test Match last Wednesday was rained off at Poole". Hence the reason for this question. Since I have just about every International programme in England Pre & Post war....this one is beginning to bug me as to "was there a programme issued for the Poole rain off". Your help is still required and appreciated.
