1979: Cradley Heath, Crayford, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Mildenhall, Nottingham, Oxford, Peterborough, Reading, Rye House, Swindon & Wimbledon. 1983: Hackney, Ipswich, King's Lynn, Leicester, Long Eaton, Mildenhall, Milton Keynes & Rye House.

I've been researching the Scottish Junior League for longer than I care to remember. The main goal was to gather the heat details for every match, meaning access to marked programmes was paramount. Consolidating the averages was the second stage of the operation. With press coverage going from the sublime to the ridiculous, some seasons (and tracks) have proved harder to nail down than others. Despite some terrific help from several sources and the constant chasing of marked programmes, I'm still short on crucial information that would allow me to publish the files with any sort of credibility (i.e. less supposition and guess work) so I'm looking for anyone who can provide S.J.L. heat details (no senior details required) from any of the following list of matches. It's a substantial list (probably best NOT to quote it when replying!) presented in CLUB order, showing date, main event, competition and junior match. Thank you in advance for any information. Even just one match could help a season fall into place. 30/05/1981 Barrow: Berwick v Exeter (NL) Berwick v Workington 19/05/1979 Belle Vue v Hackney (BL) Belle Vue v Blantyre 18/08/1979 Belle Vue v Ipswich (BL) Belle Vue v Felton 21/04/1979 Berwick v Stoke (NL) Berwick v Workington 09/06/1979 Berwick v Scunthorpe (KOC) Berwick v Blantyre 23/06/1979 Berwick v Canterbury (NL) Berwick v Sheffield 14/07/1979 Berwick v Oxford (KOC) Berwick v Felton 01/05/1982 Berwick v Middlesbrough (NL) J.R.H.

Ashfield Juniors game is off so the infield certainly is.

I'm nearing the end of my Coatbridge/Glasgow research for 74-87 but I'm still missing some non-riding #8's and reserves. Teams requiring the mystery man are in red. I also require a couple of forenames for riders with whom I'm not familiar. 28/04/1974 Workington v Coatbridge & forename of K. Stevens who rode in the 2nd half 04/08/1977 Oxford v Ellesmere Port 13/08/1977 Berwick v Glasgow v Teesside v Edinburgh 17/05/1981 Rye House v Workington 10/04/1983 Mildenhall v Glasgow 09/09/1984 Mildenhall v Glasgow 28/08/1986 Middlesbrough v Mildenhall & Middlesbrough v Glasgow 28/05/1987 Forename of R. Brown who rode for Glasgow in the NJL match.

That's what I was hoping to hear. The results sheet I have lists it as a 41-37 win for Cradley so I couldn't get the figures to tally with the final table. Many thanks.

Thanks. What result does it give for 26th May Swindon v Cradley, again in the League Cup?

Can someone confirm the result of this match for me please?

Listed in the Speedway Star fixtures but no subsequent mention of the outcome. Can anyone enlighten me?

I'm looking for the results of the following matches: 24/07 at Oxford: Andy's Skolars v Jan's Stars v Tatum's Terrors (3TT) 05/08 at Peterborough: Wimbledon v Eastbourne v Middlesbrough v Peterborough (NL 4TT SF 2) Score when abandoned after heat 7. If I recall they staged the outstanding final race at Milton Keynes - on what date and what was the result? 12/10 at Exeter: S W Junior Championship (IND) S W = South West or South Western? 13/10 at Poole: Poole v Ipswich v Cradley Heath v Hackney (4TT) 25/10 at Ipswich: 16 Lapper (IND) 30/10 at Peterborough: Hexagon Trophy (IND) 01/11 at Rye House: Rye House v Arena Essex v Hackney (Autumn Triangle L2) 06/11 at Hackney: Hackney v Arena Essex v Rye House (Autumn Triangle L3) 07/11 at King's Lynn: Simmo Spectacular I'm also looking for the reason each of these matches were abandoned: 03/06 Cradley Heath v Wolverhampton (BLC) 01/08 Stoke v Peterborough (NL KOC QF L2) 16/09 Cradley Heath v Oxford (BL KOC SF L1) Thanks in advance.

Can anyone confirm the Glasgow riding order in this meeting? It's impossible to work out from the Star report and a blank programme. If you were at the match and have a marked programme, I'd also be greatful for a note of the second half results. Thanks in advance.

Hopefully you can access the file, a scan of the Glasgow programme https://app.box.com/s/s6bpe7s5xnwjm2bz1ukjxfpbfbj85bw5

I have a completed programme from the Glasgow match. Heat 9, Mauger replaced Broadbelt, broke the tapes, and Broadbelt came back in.

I've actually got a second scan of the programme and what is written in could pass for Stansfield. Unfortunately the writing is so bad I can't be 100%. As you say Alan Stansfield was definitely around so there is a good chance it was him. Just need this D. Appleton now.

I'm trying to confirm the names of 2 second-halfers who featured in the Barrow v Glasgow meeting, 18th April 1978. One is D. or possibly G. Appleton, the other A. Stanforth (Stansfield?). Any help greatly appreciated.

Mauger and Collins met at Peterborough on Friday 1st October 1976. Evidence here: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ivan-mauger-peter-collins-autographed-540170401

Mauger rode for Hull in an Inter-League 4TT at Shielfield on 15th June 1980, scoring 6 from 4.

Yes I've checked the 1978 yearbook but no dice.

Thanks Steve. Templeton only rode in 8 meetings but I'm two rides short. I'm convinced one of them is in the KOC tie at Workington but I've run out of options for the others. Highly frustrating. I'm also one ride too many for Collins (which looks like that Ellesmere Port match where he is only afforded (exc) with no reason in the report), Richardson is two rides too many - one looks like heat 2 at Berwick, and the other I was convinced was going to be with McKeon (1 ride short) at Workington but not according to what you posted. Rourke and Gallagher resolved each other at Mildenhall. The averages in the Coatbridge programmes track all of these errors so they must be traceable.

Thanks Steve. How does the Mail report stack up against the Star results below? Also updated above queries, can you confirm rides/heats taken by Doug Templeton at Berwick? Rourke replacing Gallacher in heat 11 at Mildenhall consolidates both averages so you may need to update your season file.

You think that's bad? Poland v Rest of the World at Warsaw in 1994 starring Steve Lawsonowski...

Taking speedway geekdom to a whole new level here! I'm trying to find the track licence numbers for Coatbridge and Blantyre in 1977. Ordinarily it would be published in the match programme but, like many of the tracks from that year, it isn't. Does anyone have records of such a thing?

I'm attempting to consolidate the Tigers' averages with those published in the Speedway Star review. Can anyone provide definitive answers to any of the following queries? I've exhausted all available online sources. All fixtures are Coatbridge aways: 17th April at Berwick - Heat 2: reason for Derek Richardson exclusion plus confirm number of rides taken by Doug Templeton 16th May at Workington - Heat 3: reason for Mick McKeon replacing Doug Templeton (tapes, 2 mins or other) 27th May at Oxford - Heat 6: reason for Mick McKeon replacing Doug Templeton (tapes, 2 mins or other) 30th May at Workington: Confirm number of rides taken by Derek Richardson and Mick McKeon 7th September at Ellesmere Port - Heat 11: reason for Brian Collins exclusion (tapes or 2 mins)

He moved from Scunthorpe to Eastbourne after the Stags shut down in mid-May.

If anyone can assist: 28th April at Workington: checking for Grahame Dawson tapes exclusion in heat 7. Also require Coatbridge non-riding #8. 28th August at Bradford: checking for Brian Collins tapes exclusion in either heat 6 or heat 12.

Thanks Steve. That would tie up Collins' & Heller's averages.
