Eastbourne 71-1 Johns leads Mac Woolford

 

Agree with Laurie Sims, but I'm still sure it's Ballard on the inside. It's also Ballard on the outside with Roger.

 

Check the other pics of Woolford and Ballard and compare; of course, the other pics of Ballard could be wrong... Any help, anyone?

PS Oxford 71-2 is definitely Genno

Workington Unknown 1 is Chris Blythe

UPDATE

 

Have just added more than 120 pics to the site, all from the 1974 season, with most tracks included.

 

There are 'unknowns' in the Coventry and Swindon sections (more from 1987 have been added to the Robins' section).

 

For those of you who prefer the late 60s, keep your eyes peeled, as I'll be adding 500 or so more images in the next couple of days from the 1968 season, including the first pics of riders and teams who competed in the launch of the second division that year...

Have just added hundreds more 'new' pics to the site - this time from the 1968 season.

 

Most teams show new images in classic black & white, including those pioneers of BL Division Two: Belle Vue Colts, Berwick, Crayford, Canterbury, Rayleigh, Nelson, Plymouth, Weymouth, Reading and Middlesbrough.

 

There are a number of unidentified 'unknowns' among them, so - as ever - a big thanks to anyone who can put names to the faces and black leathers!
