This discrepancy arises from the 11/09 Milton Keynes v Glasgow match. Heat 2 was reported as Sparshott, McNeill, Campbell, Allaway (exc), 67.2. A marked programme reports Allaway was excluded under the 2 minute rule. Consequently Allaway should not be credited with a ride for this heat. The published figures should be amended to 2 rides, scoring 1 point for a C.M.A. of 2.00. All other figures published in the review concur with those displayed in this file.
SOURCE #2: Daily Mirror 1980 Speedway Yearbook PUBLISHED FIGURES: National League Home, Away & Overall The yearbook replicates the Allaway error shown above. Keith Chapman is reported as taking 5 rides and scoring 1 point for a C.M.A. of 0.80. This discrepancy arises from the 08/09 Canterbury v Glasgow match. Kevin Clapham rode at #6, not Keith Chapman. Chapman's entry should be deleted from the scorers grid and his return of 5-1-0 should be credited to Clapham. Chapman's entry should be deleted from the averages and Clapham's figures should be amended to 2 matches, 8 rides, scoring 3 points for a C.M.A. of 1.50. All other figures published in the yearbook concur with those displayed in this file.
