That’s correct. Match was ridden on 9 June 1974. Workington won 40-38 with Alan Cowland 14, Mitch Graham 13 and Mal Mackay 12 out of a total of 40 !

Can anybody help regarding John Hough's heat placings in this meeting ? John Hough scored 5 points but the Speedway Star heat details says 6 points. I think this is an error in the heat results with John Hough probably failing to finish in heat 19 (engine failure or fall ? ) Does anybody have an completed programme to confirm ? Thanks for reading Steve

Hi there. As part of my reserch into the 1981season, can anybody confirm which heats Bruce Cribb rode in this meeting ? The yearbook states that Bruce rode in the meeting and failed to score, whist the heat details published in the Speedway Star doesn't mention Bruce Cribb at all ! Does anybody have an completed programme from the meeting to confirm what heat(s) Cribby rode in ? Thanks for reading.

Hi Steve As compiler of the season files from 1965 (as per Speedway researcher website) I appreciate your comments - we are doing our best to keep the history alive. Steve

Thanks for your help - any takers for the Swindon heat results I requested last week ?

Thanks very much - Another query ticked off.

Hi there - its my final 1980 query ! I need require confirmation of Peter Prinsloo and Valclav Verner's scores in their guest appearances for Sheffield v Belle Vue. The Speedway Star state Prinsloo and Verner scored 8 and 7 points respectively which tie in with the heat details published in the Speedway Star and Speedway Mail together with the Speedway Researcher website. The speedway yearbook advise that Verner scored 8 and Prinsloo 7 points. This suggests that the heat placings in heat 5 or 9 published in the Speedway Star were reversed. Does anybody have a completed programme to confirm the correct heat placings ? Thanks for reading.

Hi there. Does anybody have the heat results and times for this meeting ? No heat results were published in the Speedway Star - help would be appeciated. Thanks for reading. Steve

Thanks for the information Speedboy.

Hi there. As I am nearing the end of my research into the 1980 season, can anybody help with the following queries - I require confirmation from a marked programme from the actual meeting (not copied from the Speedway Star). 1. Mildenhall Anglia League Junior Championship -17 September. According to Speedway Star and Speedway Mail - Linden Warner as a reserve scores 2 points, 1 in heat 1 and the other in heat 19, whilst the Yearbook states Warner just scored 1 point, both the Speedway Star and Speedway Mail say 2 points. If it is 1 point in which heat was it scored ? Also did Tony Brooks or Chris Tritton ride in this meeting ? Yearbook states Tritton rode, whilst both the Speedway Star and Speedway Mail state it was Brooks. 2. Oxford v Edinburgh - 21 September. I need clarification in which heats Chris Turner was excluded under the 2 minute rule as these are not mentioned in the heat details published in the Speedway Star, or on the Speedway Researcher website. Turner was scheduled to appear in heats 3, 7 and 13 but in which 2 heats was he excluded ? Hopefully someone can help. Thanks for reading. Steve

Thanks Cityrebel. This proves the yearbook is wrong ! Cheers

Over to you Cityrebel - different scores for Barney Kennett and Denzil Kent. Could you check your programme ? - according to Dave's scan Kennett scores 9, Kent 5 and Brice 2 ! Cheers.

Mustn’t work on iphone - will try on my PC

Hi Dave. Link does not work !

Thanks for this Gustix - unfortunately the details are copied from the heat results published in Speedway Star. Does anybody have a completed race card from this meeting?

Hi there. As part of my ongoing research into the 1980 season, can anybody resolve the following query please ? I need to clarify Barney Kennett's and Kevin Brice's points scored in this meeting. The Speedway Star states that Kennett scored 7 and Brice 2 points respectively. however the Peter Oakes yearbook and the Speedway Mail states that Kennett scored 6 and Brice 3 points. The issue appears to lie in Heat 7 on whom finished third and fourth for Canterbury. Does anybody have a completed programme from this meeting to confirm the correct placings and points scored for Kennett and Brice ? In same meeting, can it be confirmed that Denzil Kent rode as a Tactical Sub in heat 10 as the Speedway Star heat details show Kent only scoring 6 points instead of 7 points as reported in the yearbook and Speedway Mail. Thanks for reading.

Just spotted rsargant’s post and answer ! Thanks - I didn’t read the thread properly! Drrrrr.........

Hi there. After a little bit of research I have found out this meeting attracted a crowd of 9,000 (wow !) and all the programmes were sold. I am still looking for an answer to my query. In view of the above crowd figures surely someone has a completed programme from this meeting ! Fingers crossed.

Query now resolved.

Thanks to both of you. The hunt continues !

Thanks for this. Over to Elmo to clarify ?

Thanks - Hopefully you have the programme. fingers crossed !

Query now resolved.
