Interesting that FIM has not homologated the polyfoam barrier but SCB licences it. I wonder why that might be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think. 70/71 close season: Allied Presentations swapped the licences as they ran both tracks. Reading inherited Michanek, Curtis, Gifford and Lovaas. Newcastle then promptly relocated to Sunderland for 4 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't it a similar situation with Bristol in the 70's? As I remember, didn't Newport just relocate to Eastville? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to the Oxford/White City and Newcastle/Reading moves. For interest, the cost of the licence when Ipswich bought the one from the West Ham promotion prior to the 1972 season was £4,000 according to John Berry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using an inflation calculation re buying power that £4k would be approx £68k today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never to be forgotten. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
