As others have said, that is a very well researched post.
Can you clarify which nationality Kevin McDonald is though please..........I'm guessing he's Australian?
The neighbours had been trying for years, the council, like most councils didn't have a clue, but neither can really be held responsible for the death of Canterbury Speedway.
That honour goes to one man, and one man only!!!
And I'm sure we both know who it is.
I believe Colin Clark passed away on 29/12/1979, and Brian Craven in April 1993.
I had no idea Derek Cook is no longer with us, he was a great little rider in his day.
Please share then Shazzy, because as I remember it we had no idea that we'd seen our last meeting at Kingsmead when we left the track on that dark October night back in 1987. The first I heard about it was when Malcolm Mitchell (remember him? ) announced it on 'Scene South East' (remember that? ) some weeks later.
You may of course be right, but that's the way I remember it..........but what happened that winter actually reduced me to tears, I'm not afraid to admit it.
