The White Knight 9,039 Posted December 22, 2017 Strangely - I can vaguely remember that cover. I am almost sure I purchased that particular Annual for my son way back when. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moxey63 1,785 Posted March 23, 2018 Used to wait in all week for 20 minutes' racing on a Saturday. We were easily pleased back then. These days supporters moan about commentators shouting and pronouncing riders names wrong, but forget they are provided with speedway - yes, live speedway - most weeks throughout the summer, almost three hours at a time too.

Andrew 125 Posted April 21, 2018 £1000 in 1973 would be hefty sum I think? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To think that a speedway rider had a column in one of the dailies! The 1970's...speedway's last Golden Era! Glad that my formative years were spent following the sport during that time.
