I used to travel down to Plough Lane for all three.

Internationale, Superama, Brandonapolis etc..A great time was had by all.

Once upon a long time ago we would have a field like this at open meetings on UK tracks.

Results on the Speedway GB website. GB came third.

Unless I am wrong, the Berwick track is pretty much the same length as the old West Ham track. The current NDL guys are clocking times pretty much on a par with BL top guys back in the 60’s. We thought they were fast so these youngsters must be pretty good.

From memory it was called a Doozler

Interesting to see the scale model for Custom House in this week’s Star. I used to sit in the home straight upper tier, above the start/finish. Happy days.

Nice feature in this week’s Star.

You’ll be one soon enough

My mistake. I read that Wembley won all their league matches home and away. Error somewhere, though they were still pretty good.

And West Ham 1947 as an embryo, though I can’t remember the details. Could well be against Wembley who won all 24 league meetings that year. Amazing record.

Rye House

And still a fan

That’s what you call a true supporter.

But the first one I remember was 1960 aged 12.

I was an embryo at my first meeting.

You can please all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time, but you can’t please all of the people all of the time. (Something like that anyway).

There are forum members older and me and members who attended meetings before me, but having attended my first meeting 62 years ago I must be in a pretty exclusive club. Who among us attended their first meeting before Easter 1960 and where?

If you are really Norman Hunter, then quite possibly.
