Yes, he's good, but, I feel, not as dominant day in, day out as Fundin and Mauger were. For example, Fundin finished on the rostrum in the World Final 10 years running. Mauger's record is something pretty similar. And they didn't have the luxury of sitting out British league racing to concentrate on the world championship.

Many older tracks were built within greyhound stadia or around football/rugby pitches. Those factors dictated track length. New, especially standalone tracks, are smaller due to price and availability of land (and maybe to minimise track maintenance too?).

Clive Fisher and Poole(?) BTW, Screensport was not a Sky channel, it was owned by WH Smith.

I have scans of the above progs. What is your e-addr?

According to speedwaywapshop.co.uk, Ian Somerville from Linlithgow has both programmes. He's usually selling on ebay as 'Skidmarks' and can be contacted through that medium.

The Martin Dugard / Stefan Andersen incident? Certainly against Boycey when he lumped Gollob in the 1995 British GP.

It was actually staged 1940-45. I don't know the third place finishers but first and second were: 1940 1. Eric Chitty 2. Bill Pitcher 1941 1. Eric Chitty 2. Bill Kitchen 1942 1. Eric Chitty 2. Frank Varey 1943 1. Ron Clarke 2. Bill Kitchen 1944 1. Frank Varey 2. Jack Parker 1945 1. Bill Kitchen 2. Tommy Price & Eric Chitty

Would it have been a match as such? Weren't all meetings individual affairs in 1928?

Bottom right is Dot Cowley.

Mark Hall?

Shawn Moran - David East

Sad to hear this. I last saw him at the Saints event at Fair Oak (the Welcome Inn). Suffice to say, he was as amenable as ever and still as enthusiastic as anyone. Get well soon Alby.

Local teletext also reported 'over 35000'.

They did. There was. Unfortunately, # Name Removed #'s admirable efforts were thwarted by the local council, and he moved on to Wimbledon.
