Clubs Names

Recommended Posts

Hi! I'm looking for FULL names of clubs (I'm interesting only in full names, because the cities I know. For example I need not only Somerset, but Somerset Rebels; not Ashfield, but Ashfield Lightining Giants) that had started in Conference League, Youth Development and Academy League since 1980 to 2000, and National League since 1960 to 1980. Could anyone help me? Regards

Gosh, a bit of a general question there, vicar!! :o

Surely you don't want EVERY club in Speedway history named on this thread do you..??!! :unsure::blink:

 

But seeing as I never pass the opportunity to give 'em a name-check :wink: , there's

CRAYFORD HIGHWAYMEN 1968-1970

and

CRAYFORD KESTRELS 1975-1983

I thought I'd mention that little known team, the Belle Vue Aces, who in 2008 will start their 80th consecutive season, a feat unmatched by any other team :approve:

As well as the great New Cross Rangers, London also had Wimbledon Dons (1960 - 1964) and West Ham Hammers (1964) in the National League.

 

Why are you interested in just the last five years of the National League by the way?

I didn't know Hastings were operating in the Conference League, Youth Development and Academy League since 1980 to 2000, and National League since 1960 to 1980. :blink:
