..............but methinks, only when they were world champion. I believe this was abandoned in '65 when the BL started. It was '65 weren't it? Coventry v Cradley, Heat 1 Lightfoot beats Ivor Brown and would have gone on to get the first BL maximum if his chain hadn't given up the ghost when leading in his last heat. Shattered me toughened windscreen that night on the way to Brandon. Had to drive 60 miles with a hole punched in it................ah happy days!!

Hi Kevin...........I was there in '65 when Bjorn Knudsson had his happy hour. I too was struck by how green the grass was until I spotted some of the floodlights had a green tinge. Ok, so they cheated, but boy did it look good. Apparently, unlike the London Bridge, the towers were built of re-inforced concrete, so taking it down piece by piece wasn't an option. We could still have sold it to the yanks though...........if they could carry a Saturn 5 on a low loader 40 years ago, just think what they could do today!! 8)
