By any chance, has anyone got the heat details for Coventry v Cradley BL Match at Brandon on 30 July, 1983? :)

I think I might have. I have got a match that was televised. I am almost certain it's the right one. Give me a day or 2 to find it out, and make a note of the details.

Would,nt be the one where Coventry never had an Heat winner would it?,i could not go that day,my mates walked in the pub after going to Cov and i would/could not believe Cradley had won everyheat,thought it was a wind up.

Falcace if you log on to the Cradley site i am sure Steve or Phil Johnson will give you the details www.cradleyspeedway.co.uk

Yes it is. Before the last race Ole was fuming with Steve B having an ef while leading. When interviewed he was adamant Tommy and Gary would get the 4-2 to win the match 40-38. The first defeat of the season for Cradley, but just a minor glitch. :)

 

It's the only time I've ever seen two riders excluded for touching the tapes at the same time, although they did do it twice. :D

 

There was a cracking race between Grahame and Guglielmi mid match. Shoulder to shoulder racing, no funny business, and total respect for each other. Ahhhhhhhh the good old days. :):( (mixed feelings) ;)
