...and as I've mentioned so many times in the past Oxford's connection with both Eastbourne and Peterbrough drew tremendous dividends and it continued when the "Rebels' moved to Wood Lane.

Apparently there is news in the Oxford Mail (I'm unable to post links!) and it looks positive...compulsory purchase but still a long way to go.

I thoroughly enjoyed following the sport at Cowley for over 30 years and although I gave up visiting other tracks towards the back end of that I continually supported 'The Cheetahs' at Oxford. Great times and a chance to meet up with friends and chew the fat. The final nail, so to speak, was when I re-located. Whether I would have continued to have visited a local track is open to conjecture (the nearest to me is Sheffield) however I wouldn't have missed it for the world for all the joy and tears the sport produced during my formative years. Great memories!

Great artwork!

I seem to recall that Tom Owen won a sack of potatoes during a meeting at the same venue?

Absolutely!

I have both these publications. I have an address of: Mr R.Ferry 13 West Drive, Cleadon, Sunderland SR6 7SJ Tel: 0191 5365064 Whether that's his present contact details I don't know. Good luck as I found them interesting re-counting stories of the sadly missed Jack.

Incidently one of my first heroes when he rode for "The Rebels" during my first year attending speedway in his immaculate black leathers.

Remember when the Scots (McKinlay, McMillan and Hunter) riding as Great Britain (British "Lions") together with English lads which was perfectly fine. Not sure when the last Scot, or indeed Welshman, last rode for Great Britain. Perhaps someone could enlighten me? It's a subject that Peter Collins was passionate about when interviewed a few years back.

Always preferred England.

Just some photos...no script to speak of.

Good luck with the article about Anders...one of the giants when I first went to speedway and a constant thorn when in oppostion to 'The Rebels'!

Received my copy and have to admit it does look to me rather 'hotchpotch' in the way that it's been put together and doesn't flow very well...just my opinion but at least it's for a good cause.

Tormod & Helge Langli.

Harry & Alan MacLean.

Simon & Julian Wigg.

Jim & Bill McMillan.

Eddie Reeves - "Cheetahs" legend!

I experienced same! I do remember Terry Wogan mentioning 'Split' more than once on his morning radio show some years back now.

Many thanks...just ordered a copy!

Eric & Nigel Boocock.

Can I purchase a copy from you?

I would dearly like a copy of Cribby's book. How much would it cost please?
