  • THE HISTORY of SPEEDWAY in EDINBURGH : Part 3 the Provincial League Years
    THE HISTORY OF SPEEDWAY IN EDINBURGH : Part 3 The Provincial League Years 1964: CHAMPIONSHIP CHALLENGE WRECKED BY INJURIES 1964 was the year the Provincial League went "black", following demands for reorganisation of the sport by the National League bosses which the PL felt were unreasonable. They decided to go their own way and there was a complete split for a year. From a spectator's viewpoint it made little difference other than the loss of the usual World Championship round (Pl men no longer being eligible). It also meant the calling-up of some new and untried referees, though they seemed no better or worse than the previous lot. Ex-Tiger Tommy Miller was amongst the new group. The team contained no surprises, and as usual they took time to find their feet. Even though Clive Featherby didn't arrive Sheffield won the opening Northern League match in spite of a Doug Templeton maximum. The first three away matches in the competition were all lost, and this included the first match against the re-born Glasgow Tigers for a decade. The Tigers had a top-heavy team and were thrashed 56-21 at Old Meadowbank, full maximums were scored by George Hunter, Wayne Briggs and Doug Templeton. Finally the away win bogey (they hadn't won since 1962) was cracked with two-in-row, a challenge at Middlesbrough, and a 47-30 triumph at Sunderland, and in both these matches Doug Templeton and George Hunter scored full maximums. They were matching each other point- for-point and giving a great lead, but after backing from Wayne Briggs and Willie Templeton the tail was as poor as ever.

    OBJECTIONS SUBMITTED ON PLANNING APPLICATION No R18/0186 BY THE SAVE COVENTRY SPEEDWAY AND STOX CAMPAIGN – EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Planning Application No: Site Address: Description of the proposal: R18/0186 COVENTRY STADIUM Demolition of existing buildings and RUGBY ROAD outline planning application for COVENTRY residential development of up to 137 WARWICKSHIRE dwellings (Use Class C3) including CV8 3GJ means of access from the Rugby Road, new open space and associated infrastructure. All other matters reserved. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Save Coventry Speedway and Stox Campaign is an umbrella grouping of people who wish to see the long heritage of Speedway and Stock Car Racing in Coventry / Rugby continue, and be returned to the iconic Brandon (aka Coventry) Stadium as soon as possible. The Save Coventry Speedway and Stox Campaign wishes to place on record the strongest possible objections to Planning Application R18/0186, which would result in the loss and redevelopment of Brandon Stadium. The grounds of objections are as follows: 1. The proposals are directly contrary to the provisions of both the existing development plan (the Core Strategy, adopted 2011) and its emerging review (the Rugby Borough Local Plan, 2011- 2031, Publication Draft, September 2016). 2. The housing proposals conflict with the Green Belt designation of the site. 3. The housing proposals are contrary to the provisions of national planning policy, which seeks to protect sports facilities from development. 4. 'Fixing Our Broken Housing Market' and ‘Planning for Growth’ provide no grounds to support the housing proposals. 1 5. Brandon Stadium was, and remains, a viable use for the site. 6.

    Season 1965 Version 1.22 Notes – season files The full season files we have compiled have been collated from Speedway Publications, magazines, books and programmes. These files list the heat details of every (known) UK official meeting raced during that particular season and also attempt to correct the many errors that have been published in the Speedway press and various publications for that season. The points scorers in the official league and KO Cup fixtures should (in the vast majority of cases) correspond with the official averages published at the end of the season, together with any fixture(s) where the result was amended following an appeal to the SCB. We tried to remove as many errors as possible and of course some will remain. The authors will be delighted to hear of any “genuine” mistakes and/or any missing information such as race times, christian names, etc. Steve Wilkes/Gary Done E-mail: [email protected] Coventry v Cradley Heath Saturday 27th March 1965 (British League) coventry 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 pts bpts tpts 1.

  • Norman Hunter & Gary Peterson I'll Never Forgive
    THE VERY BEST OF speedway plus 2009 Norman Hunter & Gary Peterson I’ll Never Forgive Kenny McKinna Quantum of Shale Extract Track Pix: Torun, I.M.S & More Milton Keynes: The Final Season Cardiff 2009: Newcomer’s View www.speedwayplus.com Milton Keynes...The Final Season In early February, help came from a most unlikely source - Exeter. Exeter promoters Colin Hill and Roger Jones stepped in and agreed a deal with Cheney that would see them run the team, while he retained control of the track and stadium. Jones, who had actually been sacked as Milton Keynes promoter by Cheney a few years earlier, would take control at Milton Keynes while Hill would concentrate on activities at Exeter. The Exeter promotion had a number of motives for getting involved. The Knights were actually their nearest rivals in the second division and they didn't want to become even more isolated, they also had unused rider assets that were of little value if they weren't employed and it's also fair to say they acted out of concern for the sport as a whole. Another lost track was the last thing that the sport needed - Wimbledon and Hackney had Peter Glanz just closed and Peterborough were only saved by the intervention of Peter Oakes and James Easter. At the beginning of 1992 the future of the Milton Keynes Knights was looking very bleak indeed. Milton Keynes was not actually the first choice They just had come through a traumatic 1991 venue for Jones and Hill. Their initial target had season which had seen them temporarily close been Mildenhall, where speedway had not been mid-season due to financial problems, only being staged the previous year.

  • The Fans' Favourites
    INTRODUCTION Welcome to this FREE speedway e-book, the first of its kind as far as we're aware. This book collates the memories and impressions of riders that we've received for our 'Dream Team' feature on the Speedway Plus website. This book runs from Adams to Zetterstrom giving the supporters' opinions on many riders from the past and present. The comments were made between 2000 and 2007, therefore if you find a comment suggesting that a 27 year old Premier League second string is a stick-on to be World Champion, it's likely to be one of the older contributions. This book differs from any other as it's written entirely by a cross section of supporters, from virtually every track in the land and with varying experiences of speedway. If a rider isn't listed, it's because nobody has chosen them as one of their seven favourite all time riders. Similarly if a little known rider has been included, it's because they've made sufficient impression on someone to be nominated. A definite case of democracy in action. Clearly, given that the comments were all written in this present century, the majority of the riders are from the British League era (1965 onwards). However, there are a number of vintage favourites in there also. If you want your own personal favourites to feature in any subsequent editions then fill in our 'Dream Team' submission form on the website. We hope you enjoy the book.
