Back in 1988,Sheffield Timekeeper Mike Beck,compiled a track record list from 1960/88 that was printed in a programme that season.A few years ago I copied it out and then added the times from 1998,also adding the average speed . There wasn't a track record for the 1960 season. Provincial League Era 1960/1964 71.2 Ronnie Rolfe 10/8/61 [45.36MPH] 70.2 Guy Allott 10/8/61 [46.01MPH] 69.8 Clive Featherby 5/4/62 [46.27MPH] 69.6 Clive Featherby16/8/62 [46.41MPH] 69.4 Cyril Maidment 16/8/62 [46.54MPH] 69.0 Ivor Brown 30/5/63 [46.81MPH] 68.8 Clive Featherby 8/8/63 [46.94MPH] 68.0 Clive Featherby 5/9/63 [47.50MPH] 67.6 Clive Featherby13/8/64 [47.78MPH] British League Era 1965/1988 67.4 Bengt Larsson 11/7/68 [47.92MPH] 67.2 Jim Airey 28/5/70 [48.06MPH] 66.6 Jim Airey 22/7/71 [48.50MPH] 66.2 Bob Valentine 4/10/73 [48.79MPH] 65.8 Phil Crump 8/7/74 [49.09MPH] 65.6 Ivan Mauger 19/6/75 [49.23MPH] 65.4 Ole Olsen 15/7/76 [49.39MPH] 65.2 Doug Wyer 14/7/77 [49.54MPH] 64.2 Chris Morton 26/7/79 [50.31MPH] 64.1 Peter Collins 27/5/82 [50.39MPH] 64.0 Shawn Moran 01/7/82 [50.47MPH] 63.2 Shawn Moran 12/8/82 [51.10MPH] 62.8 Peter Carr 18/7/85 [51.43MPH] 61.4 Hans Nielsen 18/7/85 [52.60MPH] 60.8 Shawn Moran 25/8/88 [53.12MPH] 60.7 Chris Morton 29/8/88 [53.21MPH] Modern Era 1998/2019 60.6 Carl Stonehewer 9/7/98 [53.30MPH] 60.3 Sean Wilson 10/6/99 [53.56MPH] 60.2 Sean Wilson 25/9/03 [53.65MPH] 60.0 Mark Loram 25/9/03 [53.83MPH] 59.9 Simon Stead 1/7/04 [53.92MPH] 59.6 Andrew Moore 1/7/04 [54.19MPH] 59.5 Simon Stead 8/8/04 [54.28MPH] 59.3 Chris Holder 6/9/07 [54.47MPH] 59.2 Ricky Ashworth 12/5/09 [54.56MPH] 59.1 Ricky Ashworth 14/10/10 [54.65MPH]

Sheffield has 52 panels plus the four end wedge shaped pieces,so you'd be looking at something similar for Odsal. Hopefully it will get some speedway staged there,went plenty of times in the mid to late 80's early 90's although that grandstand was bloody cold,even in mid summer!

Was tacked onto the James Wright press release on the Tigers site yesterday Spin. "...which means Josh Grajczonek won’t be returning to Britain"

Sheffield started a little late that season due to work on the new fence taking longer than expected.The first two home meetings were called off. Peter Carr,Mick Powell and Jason Straughan

Me and Dad were up in the grandstand between the 4th turn and start gate!

It wasn't a paying spectator,just a bloke who thought he could take a short cut through the stadium to get to Shirecliffe!

No,just the 7.

Vaclav Verner did 4 row for Exeter in a home meeting against Sheffield in 1994,he rode in heats 11,12,13 and 14 (3,fx,3,3) and won heat 16 for good measure,aged 45!

Zdenek Simota did four in a row for Plymouth at Owlerton in 2014,heats 7,8,9,10 as well as heats 2 and 4,scoring 9+1 The same meeting saw Ben Wilson ride in 7 of the completed 10 heats,twice doing three on the trot,hts1,2,3 and 8,9,10 plus ht 5 scoring 16+2. Sheffield were using R/R for Andre Compton when Leigh Lanham and Taylor Poole crashed out of the meeting in heat 3 (The crash ended Taylor's career sadly) so The Tiger's were down to four riders and due to the time it took to get Taylor to Hospital the meeting ended at the 10pm curfew,with a final score of 32-30 to Sheffield. There might be a few more 'four in a rows' in the 1976 season were a rider could take two R/Rs per meeting.Carl Glover rode in 8 of the 13 heats in one such meeting at Sheffield.

Karol did (Jan Zabik's son) Bruce Penhall and Gert Handberg only ever rode for Cradley in the UK. Bruce 1978/82 (well,most of it!) Gert 1988/93

Bob Paulson.Sheffield 1965-1974.

Kelly must be somewhere between 11th and 16th on your list (33/15=2.20)?

Was that re-staged as it was called off? Me and dad were going to watch the meeting,while my brother and mum went onto visit Stonehenge and Avebury. We'd got to Blundson after a wet drive from Bromsgrove where we were staying with family,only to find it was off.So we went on to visit the aforementioned plus we went up Silbury Hill and saw a couple of crop circles that were all the rage that summer!

Sheffield staged the 2nd leg of the Junior BL KO cup final between the Tiger Cubs and Kings Lynn on November 6th 1986.Two weeks earlier we'd had the end of season fireworks etc!

I think Frank Varey is in the middle and Dusty Haigh on the far right perhaps?

Not mine!
