Poole v Ipswich Play Off Semi 1st leg. 23/9/19
arnieg replied to Steve Shovlar's topic in SGB Premiership Speedway League
The damaged section has been repaired nut now most of the panels on bend one have deflated! -
Brassarna (Nassjo), Ornarna (Mariestad) plus 5 reserve teams.

The Swedish third tier is mainly reserve teams of senior clubs. The Danish set up is similar. I saw a Danish lge 2 match at Fjelsted this season, estimated crowd: 29.

Danno Verge?

Number 6 is optional and has no programmed rides. But if ever there was a meeting where it was worth naming a no 6 surely this is it
-
150 was an estimate for the previous meeting. (I can't speak to its accuracy but it sounds plausible to me.) The farewell meeting was probably in the region of 1000 (a very rough estimate on my part)
-
That tends to be the worst of both worlds (see Coventry at Leicester last year for example). Too far for more than a handful of Reading fans to travel, but not attractive to Swindon fans as the team is badged as Reading.

That's just irrational

Keep an eye out on Ebay. Second hand ones come up from time to time. ( for example there was recently an Halifax Dukes board on there). The Barber's will probably sell you a blank one if you ask them.

Well at least refurbishment of the back straight bogs is underway https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/sep/14/gold-toilet-reportedly-stolen-blenheim-palace-cattelan

There is nothing on the stock car schedule for 28 Sept, and this date still in the Potters fixture list as a reserved date. Could this be a date for a speedway farewell?

I think they were same format, and first co petition would have been completed but I haven't got that detail in my notes

It is an objective factual response to someone who requested Information. I don't really understand why your reply is so defensive. -
I think you are right.

Showground make more money putting marquees on centre green than letting out to speedway. Hence no meetings for the best part of two months and no centre green. -
My recollection too. But I clearly never pinned down anything definite as it is not in a certain book. I seem to remember Foxall was also cited as a template for Vojens. Both opened in 1975, Smallmead in April and Vojens in September.

From 'Tears & Glory' Five existing promoters formed a consortium named Allied Presentations. The objective was to open tracks in the new second division and pool profits ... and losses. The five were Len Silver (Hackney), Danny Dunton (Oxford), Maury Littlechild (King's Lynn), Ron Wilson (Long Eaton), and Reg Fearman (Halifax and Long Eaton). They opened three tracks in 1968. Wilson fronted Middlesbrough, Silver for Rayleigh and Fearman for Reading. A further two tracks were added to the stable in 1969: Crewe and Long Eaton

California Queries 17/4 was a team challenge: East 47 West 52 (Wokingham Times 22/4) followed by a 5 race second half (4 heats with winners to final). The May 1 programme notes Peck 15 points (Sims 12, Harrison 12, Nailor 12, Leonard 11) as the top point scorers on 17 April - this includes second half races making it likely (but not 100% certain) that Peck won the second half 19/6 CT was held over three rounds. Th filled in programme I have shows no evidence of a run-off and the prog for round 2 says: "top point scorers from round 1: Jackson and Newell 12, runners-up..." 25/9 Previous two programmes advertised future dates as 25/9 and 16/10. 2 Oct: CT Champ R3 (prog dated 2 Oct) so it looks as if this was simply rescheduled for a week later than originally planned. Incidentally overall result: Newell 41, Sims 33, Jackson 32, Peck 30, Harrison 29, Davies 23 (2 rnds), Leonard 21 (2 rnds)

Can I place on record my thanks to the Birmingham promoters for their quick and positive response.
