From Newcastle, BV, Exeter and Hull fans. Any photos or memories of Ivan when he rode for your team would be greatly appreicated email me jskinner06@btinternet.com

Most of us would say Newcastle Diamonds were black and white. However, 1938/39 and 1946/51 the racejacket was red and white with the exception of 1949 when it was a black and white N. Does anyone have any colour photos showing the red n white jacket that I could show on the website. I do have colour pics of Norman Evans and Ken le Breton wearing the red and white but they are very poor quality. Please help me with this if you have colour photos from the B&W era

The first 3 names for this event are as follows: - Bjarne Pedersen Jason Lyons Danny King

There are a number of pics taken at various riders funerals on www.defunctspeedway.co.uk please pay your respects on Reg Fearman page 3

I have just received some info from New Zealand of Exeter rider Jackie the mighty atom Hart. I have put the pictures of Jackie on the Exeter page of www.defunctspeedway.co.uk. Text to follow

Reg Fearman now has his own page(s) on www.defunctspeedway.co.uk have a look at Regs pictures etc. Firstly his friend Jack Gates birthday party and secondly how Reg brought Igor Plechanov over to be guest of honour of the VSRA. Reg is one of the entrepeneaurs of british speedway and I am happy to have him on board the defunct site

The Reg Fearman pages now number 1-5 on the Defunct Speedway website. Page 5 is about Ronnie Moore. Have a look and let me know your views on Reg's pages

I have a Miscellaneous page on my www.defunctspeedway.co.uk website. Visit My Website On that page is 7 photos of female riders. I would be interested to here from anyone with other photos of Lady Riders

As I read through this thread I became annoyed by the content. Bjarne has been a great servant to Newcastle/Poole Please just accept that he is entitled to a testimonial and lend the organisors your support

Thanks Guys. Fairly mild here in North East England. Merry Christmas from the Defunct Site and Newcastle Speedway History to all that use these pages. Lets hope 2009 is a good year

I have heard from Oz that 1960 Southampton rider Jack Scott is in hospital having a triple by pass op

Hi Yesterdays Man, I was not aware of any censoring on this thread. I do not subscribe to name calling myself and wish that others didn't either. I suppose the thread has drawn better attention to the Reg Fearman pages because of the controversy.

Yes and good ole Len Silver has the right name too. I think we should drop the Jewish names thread before we upset someone, too late! I have already done it. The thread is about publicising the Reg Fearman pages on the website afterall

Hi Tsunami, I never knew that Gil was Jewish, I suppose there is a clue in his surname (No! I don't mean finch!). Another fact that may have escaped many Newcastle fans was that Reg Fearman had a 50% stake in Newcastle when we reopened in 1961

Hi, I have just put 3 Belle Vue Colts team photographs on the Defunct Tracks I need help with naming the riders. Please visit the website the photos are on the "Name The Rider" page

Reg has been busy with his memoirs, there are now 3 webpages of his activities. His pages can be found here Reg Fearman

The Reg Fearman pages of The Defunct Website have Reg's Story, Jack Gate's 80th Birthday Party, Igor Plechanov's visit to the UK, The low down on Reading, Reg and Ivan Mauger, Alf Weedon's 80th Birthday and the life of Eric Chitty. There is a lot more to come from Reg on these webpages so please visit the site and if you want to "speak" to Reg via the website, don't hesitate email me.

Yes Arnie good point about Tilehurst, I will do that too

Hi Reading Fans, Strange as it must seem to you, Smallmead is now a Defunct Venue and I have started a Reading page on the Defunct Tracks website. Ex Promoter Reg Fearman is currently looking through his Reading memorabilia and will shortly be contributing to the page. I would like to hear from fans with items they can scan to make the Reading page better than any other teams in the A-Z So come on send me an email jskinner06@btinternet.com

I feel as owner of the site Reg is contributing to that I should respond. Firstly Neil Middleditch has done so much for the sport, let me say well done Middlo and keep it up. Reg Fearman also did so much for the sport, introduced new venues and chaired the BSPA. Reg is big enough to answer any criticisms but we think an Internet Forum is not the appropriate place to do that. The original post on this this website was made to let speedway fans know that some of Reg's personal photo's and thoughts have been captured on the Defunct Speedway website, please have a look and let me (John) know what you think.

Frank Malouf's grandson emailed me asking about his grandad. Does nyone have any info on Frank that I can pass on to his grandson

PM sent Marty The Reg Fearman pages now cover Reg and Reading and also his 1955 meeting with 16 yr old Ivan Mauger

Thanks for checking for me. I will just have to disappoint his Grandaughter
