The article also says that the reason for going down to two teams is, "But with exciting changes to the league structure rumoured for 2026, the Spires will be discontinued, leaving the Cheetahs and the Charger..." Are they perhaps looking at there only being two leagues, i.e. an amalgamation of the top two leagues?
Tom Farndon much better than Sid Farndon.
Peter Craven a lot better than Brian Craven.
Jack Parker better than Norman Parker.
Jack Milne and Cordy Milne, now there's a poser.
Mind you, back in the day, Freddie Mockford used to employ a member of staff specially to go out after Tom Farndon's races to pick up the bits that fallen off his bike during the race!
