dantodan 314 Posted October 8, 2007 Does anyone want to help create a Coatbridge page on my www.defunctspeedway.co.uk website? Pictures and views and a bit of history? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerbrandcoffee 0 Posted October 8, 2007 I don't have the final programme from Coatbridge (17/6 v Eastbourne) but at the start of that meeting the track record would have been the 67.8 secs set by Peter Collins on 17/9/76. Typical race times were 3/4 secs slower than that so I believe that record would have remained intact. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dug out an old Coatbridge v Paisley programme from the 18th of June 1976 , but on the fixture list it just has the 17/9 as an Open meeting . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryn 413 Posted October 8, 2007 Ah... Coatbridge - the only speedway track where I've ever had to pay to get OUT of the bar! Us coachload of Crayford Kestrelites arrived nice an early for our match (think we got walloped!) and duly took residence in the bar. As we went to go out to watch the meeting this bloke demanded 10p from each of us before he'd allowed us out. Seemed his job was to collect said amount from everyone as they went in but we had arrived at the circuit before him! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hull won the meeting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
