Newcastle Diamonds Newcastle Magpies Newcastle Federation Specials and back to Newcastle Diamonds again

Slant was one of those riders who never made much impact hence he moved from team to team. We had him in Diamonds colours (ha black and white!). There are photos of him on the 1960's part1 page of History of Newcastle Diamonds

Check out the Bristol page of Defunct Speedway

Some of you will already know that I have begun a website for any venue that has closed down. I hope to air many photos that may not have been shown on the web before so if you have any pics of Crystal Palace (or anywhere else) please get in touch email jskinner06@btinternet.com

So? can you help? email me at jskinner06@btinternet.com Lets get ready to rumble!!!!

Peter Kelly rode for Belle Vue, Stoke, Newcastle and Berwick. Peter and his daughter have been in touch with me and I now have Peters Memoirs and a number of excellent photos. Click here to see them http://www.newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk/...part%20four.htm

No Problem Tsunami... Remember Peter with his socks turned over the top of his boots and a billowing white silk scarf. The guy was always well turned out and had a great cornering style. Have you looked at the photos yet? My favourites are the 6 shots of him as a novice falling off and the one of him climbing the starting gate with Mike Parkers tie in his hand. God knows what was going on there New Zealand is special to us in Newcastle and I am sure Peter had plenty ex diamonds over in Kiwiland to talk to

Yes Dave still lives locally but down Teeside way. He had a tragedy in his family when his son was badly injured trials riding and is now in a wheelchair. The History Site relies on the memories and pictures etc that fans and riders have collected. If you want to contribute just send me an email jskinner06@btinternet.com

Peter is still alive he lives in New Zealand now and has just been in touch with me with some excellent pics from his career check it out at http://www.newcastlespeedwayhistory.co.uk/...part%20four.htm
