rearingtogo 120 Posted March 3, 2023 (edited) Don’t know whether a thread has covered for this in the past, but hey ho here we go. With a little help from all of you out there, I would like to compile a list of promotors and their club who have graced us in the past & present bringing us chance to watch our great sport. I will start with Maury Littlechild Crewe Kings 1969. Edited March 3, 2023 by rearingtogo 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We had "Mad" Malcolm Ballard, Gordon Kennett, John Davis, Richard Greer, Tevor Geer, Paul Gachet, Steve Weatherley, Dave Kennett, Mike Sampson, Roger Abel, Eric Dugard, Bobby McNeil , Brian Clark, Ian Clark and Roger Johns amongst others either ride full time or as cover for the "Rebels" over a seven year period.
