I'm told that Coatbridge was even more banked than The Shay.

I noted this result among my programmes and wondered if there has ever been a higher winning margin of 70 pts in a single match? 13-Apr-1948: Southampton 89 Wombwell 19 This was in an 18 Heat match. I guess higher is possible in a 20 Heat match but am not aware of it. Any takers?

Ivan Mauger. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have missed seeing him for the world, but in reality he was always dull to watch, having gated and gone.

Winner was Mark Cossar/Carl Blyth (#37)

I agree with you but it's not always that simple. Jason Crump. Born in Bristol. Australian. Mark Loram. Born in Malta. British. A non-speedway example: Cliff Richard. Born in Bombay. British.

Why would any rider buy a GTR from PJR or others instead of through GTR or their agents though?

Aren't all squid damp?

Also nice to see the GTR in the final.

He looks like he's been living rough

I thought Speedway World packed a lot of information into its mere 8 pages. I recall it gave a decent amount of coverage to the SAL and Open-licence teams.

Doesn't mean jack, he still doesn't own the stadium. I could open a company tomorrow called, for example, NewPooleStadium Ltd but it wouldn't mean I was going to do anything about building it.

How does being right equate to being a troll?

I'd presume a one-off at that price.

The same KK who was nailed-on for a max home and away v Somerset?

Thought that was near the Abbey Stadium.

If it were to be the only British SGP would that still be an argument when somewhere like Teterow is in the calendar?

It's generally accepted now that many of those huge pre-war crowds were exaggerated. That West Ham example for instance is thought to have been closer to 40,000.

It has to be 1998, Poole 27 Ipswich 63, during Ipswich's all conquering season. Yes, they were very strong but Poole were awful that night.

This is painful to read but I guess the former benefits from easy participation at all levels and the latter is all about betting. Speedway offers neither.
