It can actually take a lot of work... The first thing to do is Google the track, and you may find an article that states exact location. Then, you can either go to the maps website stated (some on here may know some shortcuts), and look from there, or (as I do first) check on Google Earth to see if I can find a pic. The problem is that with tracks that were only short-lived, you have to find something from that era... Regarding Sandford, this is what I have just found, and now I'm looking for maps and pics:: 'Apparently the track was at he end of the village on the left of the old road to Nuneham Courtenay about at the end of the mobile home park."

Do you have Google???

I've also seen it stated that it was on wasteland behind a cemetery, so I wonder if it was down by the crematorium?

She was married six times; almost enough for a speedway team...

Unfortunately, I have to draw the line somewhere, and Alan has been retired from speedway for many years...

Yep, iris123 and have often said on here how they breathed new life into us. What a great spell that was...

At least Brian Collins left his international web site up...

There have been some superb sites over the years that have just disappeared. That's why we need some kind of central stats site that is going to stay available...

They were actually wanting him banned, he was that wild...

There seemed to be quite a few of those back then! Ironically, the one i remember was also from Wolves, when they rode at Plough Lane in 1969. As a 6-year-old, I still remember Geoff Ambrose scaring me! He only had two rides, but I remember turning away whenever he took the bends!

I was there that night! Actually, Hasse was the main reason I went to that, but he really was poor that night. Certainly not the same rider I saw at Wembley in '69, and on several other occasions. Funny thing, Steve, but that was one of my main reasons for not wanting a fixed race night. Neither of us were Crayford fans, but we went along as neither of us had anything to do that night! I just used to take off and go somewhere different on an off night...

There are those who will disagree, I'm sure, but I'm with you 100%...

You really liked Jeremy, then? What the hell happened to you lot today? 73% possession yet Bradford had more attempts on goal than you?

Told ya!

Don't forget the brothers who are always forgotten - Gary, Mark, and Martin Chessell. They all rode for Swindon.
